Janey Godley has called out “far right” racist groups as protests have broken out across the UK.
The 63-year-old claimed she was asked if she “wanted to be raped my muslims” by far right groups after sharing left wing views on X, formerly known as Twitter.
She then shared her own tragic past of being “sexually trafficked by a far right Scottish uncle” and shared a picture of her at the young age she was when it happened.
The comedian shared the information on social media to slam far right groups for attempting to “defend their racism”.
When I was this age I was sexually trafficked by a white, far right Orange Lodge Scottish uncle- he eventually got arrested 30 years later. Stop asking me if I want be raped by Muslims as a way to defend your racism - I survived pic.twitter.com/Vv7usmvPXA
