Shamima Begum was at ‘low risk’ of being trafficked to Syria where she joined ISIS and there is no evidence the authorities failed her before she fled the UK, a court has heard.
Ms Begum, 23, who is living in a Syrian camp, is challenging the Home Office’s decision to remove her British citizenship, with her lawyers arguing that the department had a legal duty to investigate whether she was a victim of trafficking when the decision was made.
Shamima Begum, who left the UK for Syria as a teenager to join the Islamic State group, was a victim of human trafficking for the purposes of sexual exploitation, a court has heard.
Ms Begum travelled to Syria in 2015, with her citizenship stripped on national security grounds in 2019.
A five-day immigration hearing is considering a new attempt to challenge the removal of her UK citizenship.
The Home Office insists she continues to pose a threat to national security.
Bullshit.
Almost half of young people believe Britain was founded on racism and continues to be “structurally racist” today, research has found.
The revelation has prompted concerns that children are being taught contested ideas as fact in the classroom, with six in 10 school leavers saying they had been taught concepts associated with “critical race theory”.
The research was carried out by Eric Kaufmann, an academic at Birkbeck, University of London, for the Policy Exchange think-tank.
Two thugs who took part in a “terrifying” group attack on a stranger who they branded a “white b****rd” have been spared jail.
Urfan Amjad, 23, and Fahim Shukat, 20, were part of a group of four men, who smashed a beer bottle on the victim’s head and used the shards to “try to stab him”, while kicking and punching him.
Islamist radicals claimed girls were being kidnapped and harassed by Hindus to inflame community tensions in Leicester and other English cities, a report has claimed.
Influencers used social media platforms with thousands of followers to spread false rumours about the activities of Hindu nationalists, it stated.
The Henry Jackson Society think-tank claims that disinformation about attacks on Muslims prompted a backlash against the Hindu community.
The BBC caused “significant distress” to the Jewish community when it reported that students targeted in an anti-Semitic incident had used anti-Muslim slurs, Ofcom has ruled.
The watchdog found the BBC guilty of “significant editorial failings”.
The group of Jewish young people was targeted as their bus travelled along Oxford Street in central London, with footage showing men on the pavement performing Nazi salutes, spitting and punching the windows.
“Nobody expected Leicester to become the most multicultural city on the planet”. So wrote TheIndependent, the English left-wing newspaper ten years ago. “Leicester in 1972 looked into the crystal ball and did not like what it saw: that within a generation or so it would no longer be a city dominated by white Anglo-Saxon Christians. In the past 40 years, Leicester has become the symbolic city of multicultural Britain, a place where the number and size of minorities are astounding: 55 mosques, 18 Hindu temples, two synagogues, two Buddhist centers and a Jain center are seen as not a recipe for conflict or a millstone around the neck of the city, but as a badge of honor”.
There are places that have visited the European future before others: Malmö in Sweden, Trappes and Roubaix in France, Neukölln in Germany, Molenbeek in Belgium, Ceuta and Melilla in Spain. Leicester in England is also one of them …
And last month Leicester burned.
The failures on the night of the Manchester Arena bombing are so shocking they’re almost unbelievable.
So now we know the grim truth about the dark hours that followed the suicide bombing of the Manchester Arena in 2017. Which is that our slow, slack response exacerbated Salman Abedi’s atrocity. Our hesitant reaction to this act of Islamist barbarism contributed to the suffering of the people who were caught up in it. It even seems that one of the deaths on that most calamitous of nights was a consequence not only of Abedi’s vile, bloody act but also of the paucity of the emergency services’ response. Take that in: someone died because we did not act. This is an extraordinary scandal.
Schools have run out of places for local children in entire year groups owing to the influx of migrants, councils and MPs have warned.
Families in Kent have been told there are no school places for 11 and 13-year-olds in Canterbury and Ashford because of the “unexpected” and “unplanned” arrival of migrant children in the two areas.
The council is having to pay to bus children who have missed out on places to other towns up to 25 miles away because of the shortage of places.
Armed detainees riot at immigration centre after power outage leaves them without heating
Riot police confronted armed immigration centre detainees who caused a disturbance after a power cut at Europe’s largest detention centre left them without heating.
Dozens of men held at the Colnbrook Immigration Removal Centre, near Heathrow Airport, left their rooms after the lights and heating went out following a power outage in the wider area.
The disturbance is understood to have broken out as the centre’s occupants were being transferred to three other centres on Saturday following the overnight loss of electricity
Dover migrant centre attack driven by right-wing ideology – police
The firebombing of an immigration processing centre was motivated by extreme right-wing terrorist ideology, police have said.
Andrew Leak, 66, from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, threw up to three incendiary devices at the site in Dover, Kent, last Sunday.
He is believed to have later taken his own life.
Counter Terrorism Policing South East (CTPSE) said evidence showed it “was motivated by a terrorist ideology”.
Families bereaved by the Manchester Arena bombing have blasted the emergency services for failing their loved ones after a damning report published today found that two of those who died in the terror attack could have survived with better treatment.
The family of John Atkinson, said he was left dying on the floor ‘without his dignity’ and was ‘failed at every stage’ after an inquiry found the injuries he suffered were ‘survivable’ but ‘inadequacies in the emergency response’ were likely to have resulted in his death.
The parents of Saffie-Rose Roussos, eight, the youngest victim of the attack, said they believed in their hearts their little girl ‘would have survived had she been given correct medical attention that she needed’.
The petrol bomber who attacked a Dover migrant centre before killing himself declared ‘if you’re not ready you will not survive what is coming’ before he launched his onslaught.
Father-of-one Andrew Leak, 66 – currently being investigated by terror police over fears he was a right-wing extremist – was named this afternoon as his foul rants were revealed in horrifying detail.
He drove more than 100 miles to lob three home-made explosives at the Western Jet Foil centre after ‘carrying out a recce’ the night before the attack.
A new inquiry into the unrest in Leicester seems to be biased from the outset.
Leicester mayor Sir Peter Soulsby has established an independent inquiry into the violent disorder that rocked the east of the city for much of September. Last week, he appointed Dr Chris Allen to lead it. This has gone down like a lead balloon among many members of Leicester’s Hindu community.
A man threw petrol bombs attached with fireworks at a centre for processing migrants in the port of Dover today and then killed himself, witnesses said.
The attacker, a white man wearing a checked shirt, drove up to the centre in a white SEAT sports utility vehicle.
He got out and threw three petrol bombs, one of which did not go off, a photographer said.
