Knife crime hits record high as one in six cases solved in London

Criminals are being ‘emboldened’ by declining prosecution rates

As few as one in six crimes involving a knife, including murders, rapes and grievous bodily harm, are being solved by police as the number of offences hits a record high in parts of England and Wales.

Analysis of police data by The Telegraph revealed that seven police forces – a quarter of the total in England and Wales – saw knife crime hit a record high in the year ending March 2022.

However, the proportion of knife offences resulting in a charge or other criminal sanction fell by at least 50 per cent in the past six years, despite the seriousness of the crimes and the risk posed to the public.

Leicester’s communal violence reverberates across continents

It was a night that Leicester will not forget. Although tensions between sections of the Muslim and Hindu communities had been building since May, the scale of disturbances caught local authorities off guard, sending shockwaves all the way to India.

Violence, in which 16 police officers were injured while holding the line between rival groups of young men, has served a warning of how extremist agendas are blowing in from elsewhere, threatening a relatively harmonious tradition of multicultural coexistence.

CSIS persuaded Turkey to hide recruitment of operative who trafficked teens to Islamic State

 

The most senior intelligence officer in charge of covert operations at the Canadian Security Intelligence Service went to Ankara in March, 2015, to persuade Turkish authorities to stay silent about the agency’s recruitment of a Syrian human smuggler who trafficked three British teenage girls to Islamic State militants, according to three sources.

The sources said the officer, Jeffrey Yaworski, who was at the time CSIS’s deputy director of operations, was carrying out a discreet but high-level campaign to prevent the spy agency from being publicly blamed for using the smuggler as an operative. The Globe is not identifying the sources because they were not authorized to discuss national security matters.

The Guardian is picking sides in the Leicester riots

Leicester – Multicultural Vibrance

The outlet has failed to acknowledge the role of Islamism in the conflict

The events over the past few weeks in Leicester and, more recently, Smethwick have drawn attention to an under-discussed ideology: Hindutva. This is a system of beliefs that encompasses three elements: 1) Hindu rashtra (nation), 2) Hindu jati (race) and 3) Hindu sanskriti (civilisation), which was crafted in the early 1900s. In essence, it is designed as a way of life for Hindus, devout and non-devout, as well as atheist Hindus.

Just look the other way – MPs’ scandalous response to the rape gang crisis

WITH the passing of Her Majesty the Queen, the sins of Britain and its Empire, real or imagined, have inevitably been in the news again. Something called ‘Irish Twitter’ (which one suspects is about as in tune with Irish public opinion as Twitter is with public opinion generally), has been foaming at the mouth about the Irish potato famine of 1845-49 being a deliberate act of genocide, a view of history that even the most rabid Irish republican tends not to believe.

Fortnum and Mason ‘gives up on police catching shoplifters’

Fortnum and Mason has given up on calling the police to catch shoplifters, instead using private detectives and bringing their own prosecutions against thieves who have stolen from their stores, according to reports.

The upmarket department store, with shops in prime central London locations, has lost faith in the police amid fears the cost of living crisis is sparking a surge in shoplifting, according to reports in the Evening Standard.

Official inquiry finds PREVENT counter-terrorism scheme is also too focused on Right-wing extremism and not the ‘lethal threat from Islamism’

Urgent overhaul planned for Prevent which is ‘protecting terrorists and not the public’

Suella Braverman is planning an urgent overhaul of the Government’s counter-extremism programme after an official inquiry concluded Prevent was treating potential terrorists as “victims”.

Government sources said the new Home Secretary had internally identified reform of Prevent as “a key priority for her within her first few months”.

The disclosure comes as The Telegraph reveals the damning findings of an official inquiry that has concluded that Prevent has strayed from its “core mission” of stopping people from becoming terrorists.

Revealed: ‘Child’ boat migrant who sailed across the Channel to the UK is actually a 25-year-old Iranian trying to date over-30s

Sweet 16

A migrant who came to the UK by boat and claimed to be a child so he could stay is actually in his mid-20s, and even joined an over-30s dating group, before he was caught out by his grey hairs and stubble.

Aria Ibrahimi, who is now believed to be 25, posed as a 16-year-old and got taken into care by Kent County Council as a minor before social workers’ suspicions began to grow.

Far right demonstrators demand British government overturns its immigration policy as Met police make arrest and keep them apart from ‘anti-fascist’ counter-demo

The Metropolitan Police have arrested one man and are seeking to keep apart rival demonstrations of far-right protesters and anti-fascists in Westminster.

Pro-Putin and Tommy Robinson-aligned group ‘Patriots for Britain’ held an anti-immigration march at Parliament Square from midday.

Anti-fascists (known as ‘Antifa’), meanwhile, gathered at nearby Marsham Street to protest at the Home Office just yards away.

“Pro-Putin and Tommy Robinson-aligned???”

This way to the promised land: SUE REID sees a human trafficker brazenly leading a 70-strong line of Iraqis and Iranians to catch a bus to the beach in Dunkirk… Hours later they were sailing to Britain. How WILL our new Home Secretary end this crisis?

Fake kidnapping and Twitter bots: how ethnic violence flared in Leicester

Leicester – Multicultural Vibrance

His knife glinting in the darkness, the hooded young man slipped down the usually quiet residential street. More than a dozen others ran past a row of Hindu homes, kicking cars as they went. One ripped down a saffron flag, a symbol of Hinduism, and a man called the police to say “there are 20 people attacking my house”. Half a mile away, in a Muslim neighbourhood, residents were calling 999 to report similar assaults and property damage.

Leicester violence and Europe’s civilizational war

The recent outbreak of violence against the Indian community in Leicester, England, has again drawn our attention to the serious existential crisis that Europe is going through, fuelled largely by Islamic immigration

The massive increase in Islamic immigration has wreaked havoc on the politics, society and culture of the West, which is today seriously grappling with the problem of an altered demographic profile of their countries, besides increasing crime rates and terror attacks. The recent outbreak of violence against the Indian community in Leicester, England, has again drawn our attention to the serious existential crisis that Europe is going through, fuelled largely by Islamic immigration. It was this same continent that once happened to be the flagbearer of the lofty ideals of multiculturalism and melting-pot societies.

Anjem Choudary fuels hate between Hindus and Muslims after his ban from public speaking is lifted

The headline on the front page of the Leicester Mercury this week read: ‘We will not let inciters of hate win.’

The respected local newspaper does not identify any of those exploiting tensions between Muslims and Hindus in a city held up as a model of multicultural Britain, but now living in fear of sectarian violence.

One of the agitators, however, who has remained anonymous until today, is a man whose notoriety extends far beyond the East Midlands.

Islamist YouTubers take to Leicester’s streets

Online personalities are causing trouble in the Midlands

In the digital age, conflict travels quickly. Last weekend’s Muslim-Hindu violence in Leicester later spilled into Birmingham, driven on by social media rumours, and amid claims that an incendiary Hindu preacher, Sadhvi Rithambara, was due to appear at a temple there. As it happened, Rithambara was too ill to attend, but the temple in question had already moved to cancel her appearance once local Muslims informed them about her record. But the rapid spread of violence through social media shows how sectarianism has evolved with technology.

Leicester disorder: Fear lingers among city’s Muslims and Hindus

Jay Patel was running a busy dinner service at his vegetarian restaurant, Shiv Sagar, on Leicester’s famous Golden Mile, on Saturday night. The dining room was packed with about 80 customers – couples, families, even a local councillor – when suddenly, huge crowds of young men marched past.

It’s estimated there were hundreds of men out that night. Most were masked and dressed head-to-toe in black – and some appeared to be armed. It was terrifying, Mr Patel tells me.

“People were running on this side, on that side, banging on the door… we closed all the lights and all the curtains,” he says. “It was very scary.”

The real cause of the Leicester violence is the one thing the Left will never blame it on

THERE is nothing quite like a leftie MP with their head in the sand. But that is what we have with the great case of Claudia Webbe.

Ms Webbe is the MP for Leicester East and, given what is going on in her constituency in recent weeks, it is not surprising that she should try to speak out.

… And what does Corbynite MP ­Claudia warn about? She has said the Government needs to clamp down on “extremist right-wing ideology” being spread online.
