UK asylum seekers caught entering Ireland for double benefits

Zafar thought he had done the hard bit. He had travelled from Afghanistan across mainland Europe to France, then survived a perilous Channel crossing on a small boat. But it was the final leg to Ireland that proved his undoing and ended with him in the back of a prison van.

Irish police officers believe that after applying for refugee status in the UK he was on his way to do so again in Dublin, a move that could enable him to claim a further set of more generous benefits.

Yet thanks to a police operation at the Irish border, Zafar did not reach the International Protection Office (IPO) in Dublin to lodge his application.

Albanian who cannot be deported taunts Home Office with personalised number plate

An Albanian convicted burglar who cannot be deported taunted the Home Office with a personalised number plate on his £80,000 Mercedes.

Dorian Puka, 28, who has been jailed and deported twice from the UK for burglaries, filmed himself peeling the cover off his new registration plate: DO24 AMG, reflecting his name and high-end marque of the Mercedes.

He then posted a video of himself on Tik Tok driving through London onto the M25 towards the intersection with the M40 to Oxford.

UK sanctions Russian spies over ‘malicious activity’

A string of Russian spies and their units have been exposed by Britain’s security services over their years-long campaign of cyber hacking, arson and sabotage.

Spies who targeted the daughter of the former double agent Sergei Skripal, five years before both were nearly killed in the Salisbury novichok incident, are among 18 Russian military intelligence officers who have been sanctioned.

BARBER: Canada’s economic warning from across ‘The Pond’

‘As the UK spirals under debt, high taxes, and net-zero delusions, Canada risks the same fate under Carney’s leadership — unless it changes course on spending, energy, and trade.’

The UK finds itself in serious economic trouble. The cost of its debt is approaching unmanageable levels. It faces high taxes after recent increases, a shrinking economy, declining job growth, and rising unemployment. The UK’s Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) reports that debt is predicted to reach 270% of GDP by 2070 (“Fiscal Risks and Sustainability Report — July 2025”.) The EU’s Stability and Growth Pact recommends a debt-to-GDP ratio of 60%. The UK’s current ratio is around 100%, with annual interest payments projected at £105.2 billion.

Britain can’t afford to let migrants live on benefits

When the history of the next election comes to be written, we may end up asking: was the turning point for its outcome the moment that Keir Starmer’s government backtracked on its welfare reforms in the face of a backbench revolt? The fiasco, which eliminated the government’s hopes of saving £5 billion a year, has made any welfare reform during the current Parliament impossible.

The cost of that is becoming more evident by the day. Figures revealed this morning show that there are currently 3.6 million people receiving Universal Credit who are under no obligation whatsoever to look for work. They have been effectively written off as unemployable and will be in receipt of benefits for the remainder of their working-age lives. That is nearly half the total of 7.9 million people on Universal Credit.

England Without the English: London School Has Zero Native Speakers

Ultimate diversity has finally been achieved. London is now home to a school where not one of the pupils’ first languages is English. Welcome to Kobi Nazrul Primary School—named after the national poet of Bangladesh, but which curiously you find situated in London’s East End, just a stone’s throw from the East London Mosque (one of Europe’s largest), which comfortably accommodates 7,000 Muslims.

Anyone familiar with the English Monopoly board might be shocked to learn that, according to the 2021 Census, Whitechapel (the school’s locale) is home to a 51.3% Asian population. Of the school’s 243 pupils, 92.5% are Bangladeshi who speak Bengali as their first language. Ofsted apparently gave the school a ‘glowing’ report, coupled with a ‘good’ rating. But then, at least the school wasn’t ‘too white’—something to which Ofsted has previously objected.

How London’s crime-ridden Underground became emblematic of Broken Britain

It was 4pm on a busy Victoria line train heading north. Sally Wynter was standing by the door on her way to meet a friend. Her thoughts were on the evening ahead, her eyes trained on the emails on her phone. As the doors opened at Green Park and she stepped to the side to let people off, she felt a sharp pain in her right arm and was propelled with a thud into the clear partition at the end of the adjacent row of seats.

A man had, completely out of the blue, punched her, making her lose her balance and fall smack into the perspex. She looked around, dazed and unsure who had assaulted her or if another blow was about to land. A man stepped onto the platform. To the back of his head she shouted: “You’ve just hit me! Did anyone see?” The crowd waiting to board barely looked up.

The Sheer Bad Craziness of UK Immigration Law

Here’s a little experiment that you can run in your own free time with a willing research subject. Take a fairly mild-mannered, middle-class, reasonable adult-in-the-room voter. Then give him five judgments to read from the Upper Tribunal’s Immigration and Asylum Chamber, taken at random. And then watch your Centrist Dad transform into Attila the Hun.

Migrant Channel crossings hit a record 20,000 in six months

More than 20,000 migrants have crossed the Channel this year, setting a new record high for the first six months of a year.

In June 5,170 migrants crossed the Channel in 80 boats, which was also a record month for this year. Home Office figures showed Border Force picked up 879 people in 13 dinghies on Monday, the third highest number of arrivals on a single day this year as people smugglers took advantage of record high temperatures and calm conditions in the Channel to ferry people across.

It made the annual tally so far 19,982 in 343 boats — but hundreds more followed on Tuesday, taking the total to more than 20,000. The Home Office will publish the precise number to have crossed on Wednesday.

Why Do 1,000 Refugees Get Free Wimbledon Tickets While Long Suffering Locals Get None?

Glancing upwards only to spot a drone hovering over their gardens last week was the last straw for residents of Welford Place SW19, whose homes overlook the much lauded All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC). While the eye in the sky probably belongs to an accredited broadcaster scouting out local colour ahead of the annual championships, the intrusion felt all too typical of the approach that the Wimbledon high command itself takes to its near neighbours. The annual championships may charm a world audience with its cultivated celebration of grass court tennis, strawberries and a nostalgic evocation of English fair play, but for neighbours this image, as carefully manicured as its famous lawns, is virtually shredded. From a highly controversial planning application to a woke offer of 1,000 free tickets for refugees, local Wimbledonians feel excluded as never before from the international spectacle on their doorsteps.

Mass Migration Increased Rent Prices by 10 Per Cent in England: Report

The mass migration agenda imposed upon Britain by both Westminster establishment parties has significantly increased the cost of rent in England, according to analysis from a think tank.

report from Onward, which studied the impact of migration on the housing market since the gates were first opened in 2001 by the left-wing Labour Party government of then-Prime Minister Tony Blair, found that rents have increased by £132 per month on average in England as a direct result of immigration.

Church of England prepares for ‘serious’ war involving UK

The Church of England is readying for a major war by drawing up plans to support the nation during a “serious conflict” involving the UK, and to make it simpler to appoint military chaplains.

The Right Rev Hugh Nelson, the Bishop to the Armed Forces, said on Monday: “I’ve been hearing as I’ve travelled around military establishments and spoken to armed forces personnel over the past two years at least, of rising concern about the threat of a very, very serious conflict, including conflict that involves the UK.”


I think they had better prepare for civil war, perhaps they are.

It strikes me that the real purpose of DEI and the emasculation of the armed forces is not just to discourage recruitment from their traditional talent pool of young white males but to cultivate a force with as little connection or loyalty to Canada as possible. One much more easily persuaded to shoot citizens as the need arises.

Home Office worker who granted asylum applications in return for cash bungs of up to £3,500 is jailed for more than four years

Who could have suspected the loyal Mr. Imran Mulla

A Home Office worker who cold-called asylum seekers and offered to grant their UK asylum applications in return for cash has been jailed.

Imran Mulla, 39, can be pictured for the first time by MailOnline today after he was sentenced to four-and-a-half-years in prison for taking a £3,500 bung from a Bangladeshi man.

Mulla, from Blackburn, Lancashire, telephoned asylum seekers who would likely lose their cases and told them he could help get their rejection overturned in return for cash.

Bradford is the grooming ‘hotspot’ of the UK, victim warns

Muslim Rape Gang Bradford UK

Fiona Goddard was just 14 and living at a children’s home when she was targeted by a grooming gang based in Bradford.

She was plied with drink and drugs, repeatedly raped and “in effect used as a prostitute” before falling pregnant to one of her abusers, a court heard.

Nine Asian men were jailed for committing 22 offences against her in 2019, but six years on she believes predators continue to plague her home town.

Britain’s housing crisis has shredded the social contract

The failure to provide plentiful, quality and affordable housing is a damning indictment of the political class.

In Britain today, trust between the people and those who rule us is now on life support. The social contract – an implicit agreement between citizens and state, where the former obeys the laws of the latter in return for the provision of certain, basic needs – lies in tatters. Nothing illustrates the severity of this breakdown as clearly as the housing crisis.
