Group gathering leads to dispersal order in Nuneaton
A dispersal order put in place on Monday to deter public disorder after a group gathered in Nuneaton has been extended by two days. Warwickshire Police said the initial order was put in place on Monday evening after officers dispersed a group in Camp Hill. The order, which grants officers additional powers to instruct people to leave specific areas, also covers Whittleford and Chapel End. The force said the group had been moved on peacefully, but the powers would remain in place until Wednesday, with an increased police presence.
It added that anyone suspected to be involved in public disorder would be ordered to leave the area or face arrest.Police said the decision to impose the temporary order was "never taken lightly", however public disorder would not be tolerated on Nuneaton streets.

Moment woman brazenly 'steals' four solar lights from front garden while walking dog
This is the moment a woman was allegedly caught stealing four solar lights from a front garden as she walked her dog. In footage posted to Facebook, the woman can be seen brazenly walking up the garden path in Buckhurst Hill, Essex, with her German Shepherd. She then bends down and pulls two of the glowing lights out of the ground and begins to walk back down before the footage cuts off. The post was made in the Woodford Crime and Surrounding Areas Facebook group on June 18. Originally, the post read: 'Who is this woman in Buckhurst Hill stealing 4 solar lights ? Kindly return them if it is you and we will remove the post.' However, it was later updated to say: 'We have been informed Police now have her address. 'Your address is known. Please return the items. This is probably not the first time you have stolen.' Locals were infuriated by the video and rushed to the comments to give their opinions. One wrote: 'She's picking them like they were flowers.' 'Why can't people leave people's property alone. Buy your own. Makes me so mad,' another fumed. Others called to 'make her famous', as someone else raged: 'Oh well she's been caught in the act her face is famous now for everyone to see.' One woman questioned why someone would take the cheap garden decorations, writing: 'Why? You can get these in Poundland.' Finding humour in the situation, another local wrote: 'That's what you call light fingers.'

Women will pay the price for Labour's open borders
When property developers applied for permission to turn a former hotel into a 'house in multiple occupation', they claimed it was to accommodate nurses. According to the planning application, the occupants would 'predominantly' be NHS staff who would 'contribute to the local economy'. But instead of being filled with hard-working staff from the nearest hospital, the 17-bedroom property was swiftly packed with new arrivals. Far from breathing new life into a downtrodden area, it became yet another blight – and a new source of anxiety for local women. Mothers and daughters in Barrow-in-Furness have every reason to be fearful. Such is the concern for the safety of female staff working in other migrant hotels in the town that they are said to have been issued with rape alarms. When a concerned resident used freedom of information legislation to find out what was going on, Cumbria Police revealed that in the space of 12 months, more than a dozen potential crimes were linked to 'guests' at the Imperial, including three sex offences. Quite the record for a small premises. There is a mountain of evidence – both official and anecdotal – that what is happening to women and girls in Barrow-in-Furness at the hands of illegal immigrants is happening to women and girls all over the country. The Home Office does not publish crime statistics according to immigration status. Nor are the police required to collect and share such data. Instead, arrests and charges are only recorded by nationality – a system that creates some very convenient ambiguity about how long the perpetrators have lived in this country. When voters are crying out to know just what kind of individuals are pouring across the Channel, and how likely it is that any will ever make a positive contribution to our society, it is an extraordinary omission. Just what are the authorities – along with all those who keep peddling the false narrative that all Channel migrants are good people – trying to hide? What little information is routinely published about crimes by foreign nationals provides a very strong clue. Despite making up less than ten per cent of the UK population, 'foreign nationals' account for around 15 per cent of all sexual offence convictions, including rape. When convictions in which the offender's nationality is 'unknown' – ie not British – are taken into account, that figure rises to almost one quarter (23 per cent) of all sex offences. It is known that only a fraction of sexual assault and rape complaints ever reach court. How many more female victims of sex offences by foreign nationals, particularly the occupants of migrant hotels, are out there, never getting justice? Among the best witnesses to the disgusting attitude of some asylum seekers towards women are female staff in migrant hotels. Unfortunately, they cannot speak out. Forced to sign confidentiality contracts, their experiences at the hands of rude, leering, entitled occupants of migrant hotels have never been documented. Some time ago, on condition of anonymity, I interviewed a cleaner at one of these places in Derby. She too spoke of rape alarms; harassment; and bowls of free condoms in the hotel foyer. One police force has felt the need to draw up a PowerPoint presentation to educate local asylum seekers about British culture. It includes recognising that women 'have the same rights as men' so 'must be treated with respect and courtesy'. What on earth are we doing continuing to provide for foreigners who are so ignorant and disrespectful that they have to be told that 'violence of any kind is not acceptable'? Crimes that do reach court offer a terrifying glimpse of the nightmare our leaders have created. Witness the case of the Qatari camel herder, who as a member of a conservative Bedouin tribe, had never had 'any meaningful contact' with a woman except his mother before coming to the UK to receive treatment for a rare heart condition. During treatment at a clinic in Marylebone linked to the Royal Brompton Hospital in Chelsea, he dragged a woman into a disabled toilet and attempted to rape her. In court, he blamed his 'limited interaction' with females in the Middle East, where his lawyer says he prefers a 'desert environment.' In another case a 29 year old Channel migrant cited 'cultural misunderstanding' and language barriers after luring a teenage girl behind a pub and raping her. The victim had repeatedly told him she was only 15 years old. A cursory internet search reveals umpteen other such cases – along with some very welcome honesty from Baroness Casey. Her report into the grooming gangs revealed that asylum seekers and foreign nationals make up a 'significant proportion' of live police investigations. Finally, someone in a position of power, telling it as it is! Neither the Home Office, nor the police, can justify continuing to hide what is going on. As thousands more undocumented young males continue to pour across the Channel, it is women and girls who are at most risk.

Blatant law-breaking of illegal migrant delivery riders is scam Del Boy would be proud of… I have five ways to stop it
I CONFESS my initial reaction to yesterday's report on The Sun's investigation into asylum seekers working illegally as food delivery drivers was a combination of frustration, disbelief and anger. Frustration because it seems the Government is no nearer to achieving its goal of tackling English Channel crossings than it was on July 5 last year. 4 Since coming into power, more than 41,500 small boat migrants have arrived — and that is just those we know about. Take a look at Migration Watch's Channel Tracker ( which monitors the number of illegal arrivals. I find it very difficult to believe that ministers do not see the connection between the ease with which traffickers can get migrants here, with a helping hand from Border Force and the RNLI. Migrants are even seen on their way with a cheery wave by the French authorities assembled on the beach. Having arrived on our shores and after a cursory check they are on their way to free accommodation, £40-plus pocket money a week and, now it seems, a job in one of the fastest-growing sectors in the economy. It beggars belief They earn money delivering food, to pay off their traffickers and to send cash home to their family so that they can eventually join them in the UK. What makes me and most ordinary, hard-working, taxpaying and fair-minded citizens angry is that the Government seems to think this is acceptable. After a year in office and abandoning the only possible deterrent, the Rwanda scheme — I make no apology for mentioning it again — and doing away with the legal requirement for the Home Secretary to remove illegal arrivals, the Government has done nothing to discourage migrants and traffickers. On the contrary, its actions, or rather inaction, has simply encouraged crossings. That's why, by the end of the year, I expect there to have been more than 50,000 illegal arrivals. Channel migrants queue for cash in hand jobs as secrets of UK's £260bn illegal economy revealed In fact, the total for the year so far stands at 18,400, which is almost 50 per cent higher than the number of small boat migrants who had crossed at this point in 2024. At this rate, could we see more than 60,000 arriving? I wouldn't rule it out. It seems the gig economy — Deliveroo, Just Eat and UberEats included — need not worry about a shortage of deliverers. I confess, The Sun's report yesterday almost made me smile. How could you not laugh at the description of the scene outside a hotel in Peckham where 'the entire courtyard was filled with bikes and bags surrounding a replica of the Only Fools And Horses [Reliant] three-wheeler'? 4 4 This scam, for that is what it is, would have made Del Boy proud. As for the reaction of ministers. It beggars belief. Policing Minister Dame Diana Johnson, who, in fairness to her, commended The Sun's report, said: 'The Sun investigation is right to highlight this illegal working racket, which undermines honest business and undercuts local wages.' No kidding, minister. While Dame Angela Eagle, the Border Security and Asylum Minister, 'is meeting delivery companies next week, to help tackle illegal working in this sector.' I find that exasperating. This is the minister who sought to cast me a racist when I gave evidence to the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill, to explain that repealing the Safety of Rwanda Act would 'encourage illegal immigration'. I was right, it has. She brushed this aside by asking what Migration Watch meant by the word 'indigenous' on its website. She now, it seems, is committing to talking to gig economy companies about what they intend to do to stop the illegal migrant workers, who are helping them make huge profits. The real question is, what are you going to do about it Minister? May I suggest that, if you are serious about stopping blatant law-breaking and removing one of the major incentives for migrants to make their way to the UK, you should: Ban the likes of Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Just Eat from permitting their drivers to rent out their accounts. Impose punitive fines on the companies that turn a blind eye to this dangerous practice. Make clear that migrants found to be working illegally while awaiting a decision on their asylum application will not be granted asylum. Require the companies to control and monitor the issue of licences. Applicants for these accounts must be properly vetted to ensure they have the right to work, but also ensure they do not pose a danger to those they deliver to — especially women and the elderly. The business model for these companies thrives on easy-to-hire deliverers. While that may serve their interests and those of migrants and trafficking gangs, it does nothing for the taxpayer. Hard-working Brits are effectively subsidising the practice, by providing free accommodation and benefits to the migrants, who are, after all, people who have broken into our country and then been housed and looked after. They have to be stopped.
