Labour has forgotten its obligation to prioritise us Brits… the Far Right aren't the ones causing civil unrest, they are
IF you want a sense of how insane things in Britain have become, and how quickly they are spiralling out of control, then consider what we have learned in just the last two months alone. In Epping, an Ethiopian asylum-seeker named Hadush Kebatu, is accused of sexually assaulting a local schoolgirl. 3 In Stockport, a migrant from Sudan, named Edris Abdelrazig, staying in a hotel paid for by British taxpayers, is accused of trying to kidnap a ten-year-old schoolgirl. In Nuneaton, two men, named Ahmad Mulakhil and Mohammad Kabir, stand accused of kidnapping, strangling and raping a 12-year-old girl. And in Lambeth, London, another asylum-seeker named Kamran Khan, aged 43, from Pakistan, stands accused of raping an eight-year-old girl. And these are only a few of the truly hideous allegations of rapes, sexual assaults and crimes that are said to have been committed by illegal migrants and asylum-seekers against the British people and their children. Abuse of children And which in some cases, as in Nuneaton, the authorities tried to cover up. Which is why, amid all this chaos and carnage, millions of hardworking, law-abiding Brits are utterly furious with what Keir Starmer, Yvette Cooper and their hapless Labour government are doing to the country we love, and the children we want to protect. United by a palpable and now overwhelming sense they are losing their country, over the weekend thousands of Brits went even further, continuing to take to the streets to protest peacefully and vent their righteous anger. Those in power, of course, would have you believe the anti-migrant protests reflect 'far-right extremism', or 'misinformation' among the British public. But this is nonsense. Why? Because what is unfolding is far more troubling for the utterly incompetent Keir Starmer, his useless Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and a Labour government whose approval rating has now crashed to just 13 per cent. Three top hotels yards from Bournemouth beach being used as migrant accommodation sparking fury from tourists & locals While there will always be a few bad apples at protests, on the whole the demonstrations against illegal migrants, broken borders and the sexual abuse of our children have been organic and spontaneous. They have emerged from the bottom up, among ordinary people who have simply had enough, not orchestrated top down by hardened extremists. It is difficult, for example, to call a gathering of British women and girls wearing pink, talking about protecting their children, and performing a cheerful conga outside an asylum hotel 'far-right extremists'. But this is what Labour elites want you to think because it is the only argument that they have left. 'Don't look at our failure to control Britain's borders and keep you safe — look at those 'far-right' people over there,' they say. It is a standard playbook on the left of politics. Only, nobody is falling for it any more. Everybody can see through it. Out-of-touch liberal centrists So let me say something that nobody on the left, nor out-of-touch liberal centrists from Rory Stewart to James O'Brien would ever openly admit. It is not the 'far-right' that is causing all this righteous anger; it is the Labour Party's total failure to control our borders. It is not 'the far-right' that is pushing this country towards civil unrest; it is all those Labour politicians who think it is somehow acceptable to put illegal migrants — who we know include alleged murderers, rapists, terrorists and Isis sympathisers, and some who even film themselves chanting 'Allahu Akbar' as they arrive illegally in the small boats — in the heart of our communities, next to our families and children. It is not 'the far-right' that is forcing the British people to pay £5.5 million every day to house people they never wanted in their country, or £15 billion over the next decade. It is the Labour Party. And it is not 'the far-right' that, even more shockingly, is allowing private firms to use the British people's own money to offer more favourable contracts to landlords who prioritise illegal migrants and asylum seekers over tax-paying British people. It is the Labour Party. And it's not just the far-right who have been misleading the British people while at the same time accusing people of 'misinformation'. One of the most shocking aspects of the Nuneaton case, for example, was the extent to which authorities quickly advised politicians and officials not to reveal the fact the alleged rapists were asylum seekers for fear of, you guessed it, 'inflaming community tensions'. Taxpayer-funded authorities, in other words, appear more concerned about managing the possible reaction among the British people than the horrifying claims that children are being raped by foreigners who were allowed into this country by our own government. Was this not the exact same mindset, the exact same logic, that led to the decades-long cover-up of the rape gang scandal to begin with? Breaking point It is the Labour Party that has completely forgotten its obligation to prioritise our own people and keep them safe and it is the Labour Party that is riding roughshod over the sense of fairness that has long defined our national culture. And now the British people have had enough. The Chinese philosopher Confucius once said that when rulers do not care for their own people, the people will stop caring their rulers. And this is exactly what is unfolding in Britain. A people, a country, are being pushed to the very edge, into civil unrest, as the social contract that once united them with the politicians who are supposed to put them first breaks down. And you know what? Those politicians, those hapless Labour politicians, only have themselves to blame. Because it is they, not the far-right, who have pushed us all to breaking point. It is absurd that the Labour Party is only now talking about deporting foreign national criminals to make our country safer and save taxpayers' cash, while at the very same time running an open-border policy bringing in an assortment of dubious characters — if not criminals — into our country. One in eight prisoners in England and Wales is foreign-born, costing an estimated £580million a year. Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood claims the message to foreign criminals is clear: 'Break Britain's laws and you'll be sent packing.' One can't help but ask the question: If Labour is now prioritising the deporting of foreign criminals, then when exactly will they prioritise the removal of more than 170,000 illegal migrants who have already broken our laws by entering Britain on small boats since 2018?

Pakistani asylum seeker appears in court accused of raping eight-year-old girl and subjecting her to multiple sex attacks
A Pakistani asylum seeker has appeared in court after being accused of repeatedly raping an eight-year-old girl. It is alleged that Kamran Khan, 43, raped the child twice between September 2024 and July 2025 before forcing her to watch a third person engage in sexual activity. He got the eight-year-old to masturbate him until he ejaculated and also put his hand and penis on her vagina, it is claimed. Khan, of Streatham High Road, south London, denied the two counts of rape at Inner London Crown Court, alleged to have taken place in the borough of Lambeth. He further denied two counts of causing a child to watch a sex act, four counts of sexually assaulting a child and two counts of causing a child under thirteen to engage in sexual activity. The accused held his head in his hands as he entered his not guilty pleas, aided by an Urdu interpreter. He was remanded in custody ahead of his seven day trial on January 5 next year. Judge Benedict Kelleher told Khan: 'Failing to attend court when required whether from custody or from bail may be a separate offence. 'If a defendant fails to attend their trial then the trial may proceed in his absence in which case his lawyer may withdraw from the case leaving him unrepresented and the judge may inform the jury of the reason for his absence.'

This director spent all his money in making film, his daughter became dancer to repay the debt, son performed on beach; The popular family is…
Former actor and stuntman Kamran Khan began directing action films starring Dara Singh in the 1960s and 70s. Some of these films included Bekasoor, Watan Se Door, Ilzaam, and Panch Ratan. He was married to Menaka Irani, the sister of former child actors Honey Irani and Daisy Irani, and they had a child together. However, after the birth of their second child, Kamran decided to pursue mainstream filmmaking. He mortgaged all his properties, invested his entire life savings into a project, and signed Sanjeev Kumar as the lead actor. However, midway through the shooting of the film, actor Sanjeev Kumar walked out of the project, leaving Kamran Khan burdened with a debt of several lakhs. He lost everything overnight, fell into depression, and became addicted to alcohol. His marriage eventually broke down, and he died a lonely death. The family didn't even have enough money for his funeral and had to borrow funds from his close friend, writer Salim Khan. Today, his children are prominent figures in Bollywood, and what's commendable is that they remain grounded and remember their roots. Who are Kamran Khan's children? Both of Kamran's children were young at the time, but they had to start earning on their own to repay their father's debt. However, they have now become big names in the industry – they are Farah Khan and Sajid Khan. In a recent interaction at the Ajanta Ellora Film Festival, Farah reflected on the kind of chilhood she and her brother Sajid had gone through. 'Cinema kept me happy even in the worst of times. During my childhood, when things were bad at home, and parents were fighting, they were separating. The only time I got happiness was when I went to a movie theatre, sat for three hours, and we saw either a Manmohan Desai movie or a Nasir Hussain movie. We used to watch the potboilers at that time. That kept us happy.' How was Farah Khan's childhood? Farah, in the same session, said that she knows no one knows her father and revealed how her father mortgaged all his money and property for a movie. She continued, 'I don't think anyone knows my father's name, because he used to make B-grade movies with Dara Singh, and they used to be great fun. They were all like Robin Hood Comes to Bombay, Tarzan Comes to Bombay… Dara Singh is roaming around in Tarzan's kachchha all over Bombay city… Then, the usual happened. He put all his money into one movie, including the house, and it was a washout, and with that, everything went. Then, for the next 13-14 years, my father didn't work. He didn't leave the house, and times were very, very bad.' When Farah Khan and Sajid Khan were struggling financially In an earlier interaction with journalist Karan Thapar, Farah said that her father died with only Rs 30 in his pocket. She revealed what they did for a living. 'I was a spoilt brat before that, and would get whatever I wanted and then suddenly everything changed… Only the house remained, and everything else went… The cars, my mom's jewellery, the gramophone—everything. Finally, we were left with an empty house, two sofas, and a fan. We even rented out the drawing room for a few hours. People would come, organize a kitty party, play cards in the room, give us some money in return, and leave. That's how the house was running for a couple of years.' How Farah Khan's father died? Sajid Khan, in an interview with Timeout with Ankit YouTube channel, told the story of his father's failures. 'My father was a filmmaker, who used to make films with Dara Singh. He used to make black-and-white B-grade films. Salim Khan was one of my father's close friends. When Farah was born, my father was going through a very good time, but when I was born, he gave his first flop. He must've thought that he has two kids, and he should expand. He decided to make an A-grade film. He tried to make a big film with Sanjeev Kumar. That film never worked, because it never got made. Halfway through, Sanjeev Kumar abandoned the film and ran away. My father lost all his money. Then he started drinking, he became an alcoholic, my parents got divorced. And I went and stayed with my aunts.' How Farah Khan started her career? He continued, 'Normally, when parents pass away, they leave some real estate or some money in the bank, or a will. My father left Farah and me with debts. I was 14, she was 17. We had a debt of Rs 3 lakh, in 1984. We were shattered. We had no idea how to earn money. We spoke to those people and told them that we would pay them back bit by bit. Farah started dancing, she started her dance troupe. I started doing mimicry at birthday parties. On Sundays, I'd perform at the beach. I would give the money to Farah, and save some to watch movies.' When Farah Khan didn't have money for her father's funeral Opening up further about the hardships they experienced in the subsequent years. 'We were the only family in our neighbourhood that didn't have a TV. We had no money. We had just one fan. We didn't have money to pay for electricity for two weeks. We would sleep in the hall, Farah and me. You work when you don't have a choice. We did it with a certain amount of dignity, and my mum insisted that we finish our education. She was also working, she was doing housekeeping at a hotel, but she was living separately because she had to go in the morning and she'd come back in the evening. When my father passed away, I went to one of my relatives to ask for money for the funeral. We did not have money for the funeral. It was Salim uncle who gave money for the funeral. Salman's dad. He gave me money. But that's life. They can take everything away from you, but they can't take away your sense of humour,' he said.

Bird flu in humans hasn't officially been seen in U.S. in 3 months: "We just don't know why"
Health officials are making a renewed call for vigilance against bird flu, but some experts are puzzling over why reports of new human cases have stopped appearing. Has the search for cases been weakened by government cuts? Are immigrant farm workers, who have accounted for many of the U.S. cases, more afraid to come forward for testing amid the Trump administration's deportation push? Is it just a natural ebb in infections? "We just don't know why there haven't been cases," said Jennifer Nuzzo, director of the Pandemic Center at Brown University. "I think we should assume there are infections that are occurring in farmworkers that just aren't being detected." The H5N1 bird flu has been spreading widely among wild birds, poultry and other animals around the world for several years, and starting early last year became a problem in people and cows in the U.S. In the last 14 months, infections have been reported in 70 people in the U.S. — most of them workers on dairy and poultry farms, and mostly with mild symptoms. One person died in Louisiana. While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the virus still poses a low risk to the general public, an infectious disease expert noted that every new infection increases the odds that bird flu could mutate and lead to more severe disease. "We are really at risk of this virus evolving into one that has pandemic potential," Dr. Kamran Khan recently told "60 Minutes." "And the reality is none of us know whether this is next week, or next year, or never. I don't think it's never. But it may be here far sooner than any of us would like." California had been a hotspot, with three-quarters of the nation's infections in dairy cattle. But testing and cases among people have fallen off. At least 50 people were tested each month in late 2024, but just three people were tested in March, one in April and none in May so far, state records show. Overall, the state has confirmed H5N1 infections in 38 people, none after Jan. 14. Possible natural reason During a call with U.S. doctors this month, one CDC official noted there is a seasonality to bird flu: Cases peak in the fall and early winter, possibly due to the migration patterns of wild birds that are primary spreaders of the virus. That could mean the U.S. is experiencing a natural — maybe temporary — decline in cases. It's unlikely that a severe human infection, requiring hospitalization, would go unnoticed, said Michael Osterholm, a University of Minnesota expert on infectious diseases. What's more, a patchwork system that monitors viruses in sewage and wastewater has suggested limited activity recently. New infections are still being detected in birds and cattle, but not as frequently as several months ago. "Given the fact that the number of animal detections has fallen according to USDA data, it's not surprising that human cases have declined as well," the CDC said in a statement. Are government cuts affecting bird flu monitoring? Dr. Gregory Gray said he wasn't concerned about the CDC not identifying new cases in months. "I don't think that anybody's hiding anything," said Gray, an infectious disease speicialist at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. But Osterholm and some other experts think it's likely that at least some milder infections are going undetected. And they worry that the effort to find them has been eroding. Resignations at the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration's Center for Veterinary Medicine could slow the government's bird flu monitoring, said Keith Poulsen, director of the Wisconsin Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory. Three of 14 experts accepted deferred resignation offers at the National Animal Health Laboratory Network, which responds to disease outbreaks with crucial diagnostic information, he said. They are among more than 15,000 USDA staff to accept the offers, an agency spokesperson said. And dozens of staff were fired at the FDA's Veterinary Laboratory Investigation and Response Network, which investigates animal diseases caused by problems including contaminated pet food. Cats in several states have been sickened and died after eating raw pet food found to contain poultry infected with H5N1. Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at the University of Saskatchewan in Canada, said "targeted surveillance has really dropped off precipitously since Trump took office." She wonders if immigrant farmworkers are too scared to come forward. "I can't argue with anyone who would be risking getting shipped to a Salvadoran gulag for reporting an exposure or seeking testing," she said. CDC says risk to public remains low The CDC characterizes the risk to the general public as low, although it is higher for people who work with cattle and poultry or who are in contact with wild birds. Earlier this month, an agency assessment said there is a "moderate risk" that currently circulating strains of bird flu could cause a future pandemic, but the CDC stressed that other emerging forms of bird flu has been similarly labeled in the past. Still, research is continuing. Texas A&M University scientists have collected blood samples from dairy workers in multiple states to test for signs of past H5N1 exposure, said David Douphrate, a workplace health and safety expert leading the project. The yearlong study is funded by a nearly $4 million grant from the CDC and is expected to conclude in July. Douphrate said he leveraged two decades of relationships with dairy producers and workers to gain access to the farms. "We have had very good participation," Douphrate said. "They have been very willing." Research has found evidence suggesting some cases are going undetected. "In a recent study of dairy workers, their blood was tested for antibodies to H5N1, not looking for the virus, but looking for the immune system's memory of this virus. And it turns out that 7% of them, one out of roughly every 15 workers, actually had antibodies to H5N1," Khan told "60 Minutes." Similar surveillance is "urgently needed" among domestic cats, said Kristen Coleman, a researcher at the University of Maryland at College Park who studies emerging animal diseases. She recently released a paper reviewing bird flu in infections in cats between 2004 and 2024. Barn cats that died after drinking raw milk were one of the first signs that dairy cows were becoming infected with bird flu in 2024. Since then, the Agriculture Department has confirmed more than 120 domestic cats infected with the virus across the U.S. Infections have mostly been found in cats that died. Less is known about milder infections, whether cats can recover from bird flu — or whether the virus can spill over into people.
