Kurdish asylum seeker, 27, raped girl he met online just weeks after arriving in the UK on a small boat
An asylum seeker has been jailed for raping a teenager he met online within weeks of arriving in the country by small boat.
Kurdish national Mehmet Ogur, who was living at the Holiday Inn Express in Tamworth, forced himself on his 18-year-old victim in the grounds of Tamworth Castle.
He later sent the woman messages saying he was sorry for what he had done.
WTF?

2.1M temporary residents will have expired or expiring permits this year. But will they leave Canada?
Abhishek Parmar has spent more than six years making Windsor-Essex his new home. But now he is one of the 2.1 million temporary residents who may have to leave Canada this year.
“I have never even thought of leaving this place,” he said. “And now, things are coming to an end. It is not a good feeling.”
The 25-year-old arrived in Windsor-Essex in 2019 from India to pursue mechanical engineering technology at St. Clair College. After having spent more than $80,000 on tuition and living expenses, Parmar said he landed a job at an automotive company in LaSalle. He filed for permanent residence (PR) in 2024 with an Ontario immigration pathway.
Of course not, Carney and his corporate pals love the profits to be had from cheap foreign labour.
The Liberals are following the same play book as the Democrats did in the US. Weaponized open borders.
If the US were to invade Canada I would not heed a call to arms.
I will not “defend” a ruling class that has impoverished Canadian citizens through mass immigration and the “Green” destruction of our economy.

Russia’s war in Ukraine drags on for longer than fight against the Nazis
Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has lasted longer than the Soviet Union’s fight against Nazi Germany.
The Soviet army spent 1,418 days, from June 22, 1941 to May 9, 1945, battling Hitler’s troops across Europe, eventually pushing them from the banks of the Volga to Berlin.
As President Putin’s “special military operation” in Ukraine marked its 1,419th day on Monday, his troops remain bogged down in the Donetsk region, just 30 miles from where they launched their offensive in February 2022.
WTF?
YIKES! 👀@fancypants_s https://t.co/fAlkuOz74A

How productive is the public service? We’ll never know
The federal government’s limp response to measuring public service productivity — that they’re simply not going to do it — is deflating for those who imagined that Prime Minister Mark Carney would act like a noted economist.
Instead, Mark Carney, the politician, has chosen to ignore his own government’s expert task force’s recommendation to collect data that would measure productivity across the public sector. By that one act, Carney undermined his own credibility as a rational business leader and made a farce of the debate over whether working in the officeis more productive than working at home. Without measuring productivity, how would anyone know?
Trump warns ‘we’re screwed’ if Supreme Court rules against emergency tariffs
WASHINGTON — President Trump declared Monday that the US would be “screwed” if the Supreme Court rules against his reciprocal tariff policies — arguing the feds would have to “pay back” billions in revenue collected over the past year.
“[I]f the Supreme Court rules against the United States of America on this National Security bonanza, WE’RE SCREWED!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Daily Bread to cut off Scarborough food bank after reporting financial concerns to police
Toronto’s Daily Bread Food Bank is cutting ties with one of its largest member agencies after the charity uncovered discrepancies with invoices Feed Scarborough provided to support grant funding and reported those and other financial management concerns to police.
Daily Bread’s board of directors decided not to renew Feed Scarborough’s membership agreement last week, so it will no longer receive food deliveries or funding from Daily Bread after its membership expires at the end of this month.
The charity’s CEO Neil Hetherington says Daily Bread had previously paused funding to Feed Scarborough while it investigated financial irregularities, but continued providing the organization with food so residents of south Scarborough wouldn’t be impacted.
JÄGER: A secular nation has no business funding religious animal slaughter
If I decided as a devout follower of the Flying Spaghetti Monster that I can only eat animals that have been slaughtered in vats of cooked pasta, you’d laugh at the prospect of the federal government spending a cent subsidizing cow-sized pots and barrels of Barilla.
Here’s How The Media Are Lying Right Now: New York Times ‘Analysis’ Edition
There’s a helpful new way to determine whether the dying news media are lying: Simply look for some variation of the phrase, “according to a New York Times analysis.”
The Times itself has repeatedly relied on that little trick to cast blame on the Trump administration in the death of the angry anti-ICE leftist now identified as Renee Nicole Good. She was shot in Minneapolis last week after recklessly flooring it in her SUV in the middle of the street while disrupting a law enforcement operation.
UK: Young People Have Concluded There’s No Point Getting a Job
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has announced that Universal Credit (UC) will increase in April to match inflation. Universal Credit is a monthly Government payment designed to support people on low incomes or those who are out of work, originally replacing multiple benefits with a single payment. It provides financial support for housing, childcare, disability and caring responsibilities. Alongside the increase, the Government has also announced cuts in certain areas in an attempt to encourage people back into work. However, these changes are unlikely to resolve rising unemployment rates. It is still some form of money – and a substantial amount too.
Human Rights Coalition and Former Diplomatic Hostage Sound Alarm as PM Carney Heads to Beijing — Questions Swirl Around Chrétien’s China Business Ties
BEIJING / OTTAWA — On the eve of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first official visit to China, a coalition of nine human-rights organizations is elevating an open letter urging Ottawa to put human rights at the center of Canada’s dealings with Beijing, rather than deepen commercial ties that critics say reflect the influence of a powerful Quebec-based business lobby long associated with former Liberal leader Jean Chrétien.
7 October was the biggest mistake Iran ever made
‘The Zionist regime is melting before the eyes of the world’, gloated Ayatollah Khamenei in the aftermath of Hamas’s pogrom of 7 October 2023. His giddy foretelling of the death of the Jewish nation was echoed across the realm of Israelophobia. Israel’s downfall ‘is a matter of when, not if’, said the Islamo-loons of 5 Pillars. Leftist hotheads agreed that the invasion of Israel by Iran’s proxies sounded the death knell for ‘the Zionist project’.
