Portsmouth protests follow arrival of up to 140 migrants on new Channel route

Demonstrators followed the coaches carrying the mega-dinghy arrivals all the way from Portsmouth to Dover overnight, and one pursuing car was pulled over on the M20. Kent Police found no offences and waved the driver on. The pursuit was the end of a weekend that brought the biggest smuggling operation yet seen on the Solent to the doorstep of the Royal Navy's home city.

Great British PAC Warns Christian Britain Is Being Sold Short as Barnet Hands Public Money to School That Veils Seven-Year-Old Girls

Barnet Council has quietly approved voluntary-aided status for Barnet Hill Academy, an independent Islamic primary where a white hijab is "compulsory" for every girl from Year 3, meaning British taxpayers will now fund the religious veiling of children as young as seven.

Britain Is No Longer Safe for Women and Children: When, and Where, Do We Finally Draw the Line in the Sand?

When the Home Office prints a pamphlet politely explaining to asylum seekers that British women "can travel freely" and do not need a man's permission to live their lives, the pretence has collapsed.

Pakistan Draws the Line: Islamabad Threatens to Halt Migrant Returns in Escalating Row Over Rochdale Grooming Gang Ringleader

Pakistan has threatened to stop accepting illegal migrants returned from Britain after the UK pressed Islamabad to take back Shabir Ahmed, the convicted ringleader of the Rochdale grooming gang. Senior officials in Islamabad warned that forcing the case upon Pakistan could undermine "gold standard" cooperation on returns, intelligence sharing, and security, as ministers move to change a 55 year old law blocking his deportation.

Burnham's Migrant Plan Is Going to Blow Up in His Face

Andy Burnham wants leafy, middle-class England to "play its part" by housing asylum seekers. The Great British PAC says no. With Channel crossings at their second-highest level on record, a refused-asylum backlog swollen by 72 per cent, and the Prime Minister refusing to commit to stopping the boats, this is not a policy, it is a redistribution of failure, and it will blow up in his face.
