An asylum seeker who tried to rape a woman in an alleyway claimed he did not commit the act due to his “micropenis”.
Hossein Mohmoudi, a 35-year-old Iranian asylum seeker, was convicted of attempted rape last week after dismissing his claim that the medical condition rendered him incapable of committing the offence.
Mohmoudi had argued that his allegedly small penis, combined with obesity, made it physically impossible for him to carry out such an attack.
The defence presented various health factors, including low libido attributed to smoking and depression, as evidence that he could not have assaulted the woman.
However, consultant urologist Dr George Fowlis provided testimony contradicting these claims, informing the court that Mohmoudi’s anatomy was “normal”.
The man was convicted by a jury at Snaresbrook Crown Court and now awaits sentencing next month.
The court heard how Mohmoudi had pursued his victim for approximately an hour as she travelled home following a Christmas celebration in 2024.
He trailed her across a distance of three miles, from Whitechapel to Stratford in east London, at one point boarding the same bus she was on.
CCTV footage presented to jurors showed the defendant shadowing the woman, matching her movements whenever she crossed the road.
The assault itself occurred in an alleyway, obscured from camera view by a gate, but lasted just 27 seconds before a passing cyclist intervened.
The victim told the court the cyclist had “saved” her, while describing how the attack unfolded “so fast you couldn’t even think”.
Mohmoudi fled the scene when the cyclist appeared.
Mohmoudi had accumulated a substantial criminal record before arriving in Britain, having been convicted twice of assault and on three occasions for criminal damage during his time in Germany.
Prosecutor Christiaan Moll outlined how the defendant had departed Iran in 2014 and subsequently entered Turkey, Greece, Germany and France without legal authorisation before reaching the UK.
He had previously received a 10-month prison sentence for steering a small migrant vessel across the English Channel, after which he claimed asylum and was housed in a London hostel.
Prior to the attempted rape conviction, police had also received a report about Mohmoudi stalking another woman while she was walking her dog.
During cross-examination, prosecutor Mr Moll directly challenged the defendant, asking: “You don’t have any respect for the law, do you, Mr Mohmoudi?”
Speaking via an interpreter, Mohmoudi acknowledged he had been using a fetish website the day before the incident, claiming it was “helpful for my English language”.
The prosecutor responded: “There are other ways to improve your English…”
Defence barrister David Harounoff contended that the 27-second duration was insufficient time for his client to have attempted rape given his purported medical difficulties.
Evidence also emerged that Mohmoudi had applied to become a sperm donor, with the court learning he had received correspondence from a sperm bank regarding his application.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced his resignation, accepting his party’s verdict that he should not lead Labour into the next general election and setting in motion a contest to replace him.
In a statement outside Downing Street, Starmer said he accepted the decision “with good grace” after hearing the view of his parliamentary party. He confirmed he had informed King Charles III of his decision that morning.
He asked Labour’s National Executive Committee to open nominations on July 9 and said he would stay on as prime minister until the contest was complete, to ensure an orderly handover.
Should Andy Burnham stand unopposed, which appeared increasingly likely despite Wes Streeting’s earlier vow to run, he could take office in mid-July. A contested race would delay the handover until late August, before the House of Commons returns on September 1.
Starmer’s position had become untenable since June 18, when Burnham, the former mayor of Greater Manchester, won the Makerfield by-election in northwest England. He took 54.8 per cent of the vote, finishing more than 9,000 votes clear of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK.
Discontent had built for months, driven by a prolonged cost-of-living crisis, a string of policy U-turns and a collapse in Labour’s poll ratings since its landslide win in July 2024.
His authority was further drained by his appointment of Peter Mandelson, a friend of the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, as ambassador to the United States, and by ministerial resignations over defence spending.
The change at the top has unsettled European capitals and raised fresh questions over EU-UK relations, with Starmer having won praise abroad for rallying support for Ukraine and steadying markets during the recent Iran conflict.
US President Donald Trump added to the pressure a day earlier, declaring that Starmer “will resign” and blaming his exit on immigration and energy policy.
The British government is reportedly planning to pressure large social media companies to actively promote the BBC and other legacy media outlets, in a bid to confront “disinformation”.
Amid increasing attempts by the UK government to police mainly American social networks, including the impending ban on under-16s, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s administration is said to be interested in fundamentally altering algorithms in favour of so-called trusted news outlets.
According to a report from London’s Daily Telegraph, Downing Street is set to hold talks this week on plans to require companies such as Facebook and YouTube to prioritise content produced by publicly owned media broadcasters like the BBC and Channel 4.
However, the plans do not appear to be merely an attempt to prop up the BBC’s declining popularity, as the report claims the government is also intent on pressuring social media firms to promote legacy private media, including ITV.
The broadsheet cited anonymous sources within the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, who are said to have asserted that in pressuring social media companies to prioritise such outlets, it would help the British public “discover trusted news sources” on the internet.
The government is said to believe that legacy outlets have waned in popularity because of social media algorithms, rather than consumers simply preferring other content.
Despite apparently being held up by the British government as a “trusted” news source, the BBC has been embroiled in major scandals over the veracity of its reporting in the past year.
For example, last November, then-BBC Director General Tim Davie and the CEO of BBC News, Deborah Turness, were forced to resign after a January 6th documentary “materially misled” viewers into thinking that President Donald Trump had called on his supporters to riot by splicing together different segments of his speech.
The following month, the British public broadcaster was forced to admit that it had shared fake news about President Trump supposedly wanting to put former Congresswoman Liz Cheney in front of a “firing squad”, when in reality, he had merely used the rhetorical “chicken hawk” argument, saying that she should be willing to fight in a war if she was calling for one.
More recently, the BBC issued an apology to Brexit leader Nigel Farage earlier this month after one of its presenters shared altered quotes from the Reform boss on multiple occasions.
The apparent plans to pressure social media to promote the BBC and other legacy outlets come amid a broader push to control what the British public can see online, with the government set to impose a social media ban on all children under 16.
Critics have warned that the plans will likely require all adults to obtain a form of digital ID to prove they are not children. Others have warned that youngsters will likely get around the ban by using services such as VPNs, which the government has also hinted may be banned.
In a massive victory for women’s safety and sanity over radical gender ideology, a Scottish judge has ruled that the SNP government’s reckless guidance allowing biological males into female prisons is unlawful.
This isn’t some minor bureaucratic slap on the wrist—it’s a damning indictment of how far-left “progressives” in Scotland—just like here in the US—prioritized feelings over facts, ideology vs. reality, endangering vulnerable women inmates to appease a tiny minority of trans activists and other psychotics.
Lady Ross of the Court of Session delivered the hammer blow on Friday, declaring the Scottish Prison Service’s (SPS) 2024 guidance a blatant “mis-statement of the law.”
The policy, which permitted case-by-case assessments to house some trans-identifying male prisoners in women’s facilities based on “gender identity” rather than biological sex, directly conflicts with the requirement for separate male and female accommodation under the Prisons (Scotland) Rules 2011. Period.
As For Women Scotland (FWS), the heroic campaign group that brought the judicial review, put it: This is a “comprehensive victory” for female prisoners who have been treated as collateral damage in the trans lobby’s war on reality.
The Isla Bryson Nightmare: How This Madness Played Out in Real Life
Remember the outrage over Isla Bryson (born Adam Graham), the double rapist who was initially shoved into a women’s prison at Cornton Vale after “identifying” as a woman mid-trial?
That scandal exposed the SNP’s twisted priorities perfectly. Public fury forced a last-minute transfer, but the underlying policy remained—a policy that treated women’s prisons like some kind of social experiment.
This isn’t isolated. Across the UK and beyond, we’ve seen case after case of biological males—some with histories of sexual violence—exploiting self-ID policies to access female spaces.
The Gateway Pundit has reported relentlessly on this: male rapists self-identifying to dodge male prisons, predators in women’s shelters, and sports where “trans women” dominate and injure female athletes.
Scotland’s SNP, under their obsession with the crook Nicola Sturgeon’s failed Gender Recognition Reform Bill (vetoed for good reason), doubled down anyway.
The judge rightly noted that while trans prisoners have Article 8 rights (privacy and family life), those do not include a right to be housed in the opposite sex’s prison. Biological sex matters for safety. Supreme Court precedents back this up—sex is not a feeling, it’s a biological reality.
Additional Fuel on the Fire: Broader Failures of Trans Ideology in Prisons
This ruling comes amid growing international pushback. In the U.S., states like Florida and Texas have banned biological males from women’s prisons and facilities, citing exactly these risks.
Data from places that experimented with self-ID shows higher rates of incidents involving male-bodied inmates in female spaces—assaults, voyeurism, and trauma for real women serving time.
J.K. Rowling, no stranger to the trans mob’s cancellation attempts, praised the decision and reiterated her support for women’s rights through her fund. Women’s groups worldwide are watching: When will the rest of the West wake up?
The SNP’s response? Predictable deflection and “review” promises. But their track record is abysmal—pushing policies that ignore biology. Male prisoners, even those identifying as trans, retain physical advantages and, in some tragic cases, predatory intent. Housing them with women is not compassion; it’s cruelty. Women in prison are not meant to be meat for psychopaths.
For Women Scotland’s Susan Smith nailed it: Vulnerable women in prison deserve protection, not to be sacrificed on the altar of woke virtue-signaling.
Time to End the Madness
This Scottish court win should be a wake-up call for the entire UK and beyond. Labour’s Keir Starmer government, already soft on these issues, faces pressure. The Equality and Human Rights Commission has previously warned against self-ID loopholes. Enough is enough.
Biological males do not belong in women’s prisons. Full stop. The radical left’s gender fantasy has been exposed as dangerous pseudoscience that puts rapists’ feelings above women’s rights.
Women deserve safe spaces—prisons included. Congratulations to For Women Scotland and Lady Ross for standing up for truth in a world gone mad. Share this far and wide. The fight for reality isn’t over, but this is a huge battle won.

In the United Kingdom, a contested 2025 report—whose methodology has since been seriously questioned—claims a fourfold increase in 18-34-year-olds attending church at least once a month, with 20% of young men under 34 regularly attending compared to just 4% six years ago.
Yet, it is still hard to deny an interest in Christianity and a—very quiet—revival. At Easter 2026, 21,000 adults and young people were baptised in France, a 20% increase compared to 2025, which already saw a 32% rise in baptisms compared to the year before. For comparison, in 2021 there were around 4,100 adult baptisms.
Around 45% of young people in Spain (aged 15–29) identify as Catholic. This marks a dramatic shift in recent years, with Catholic identification among Spanish youth rising by nearly 50% compared to 2020.
A similar trend is seen in Denmark. But the question is, why have young men begun attending church?
Fr. Daniel Steiner Ebert. Photo: Den katolske Kirke
For Catholic priest Daniel Steiner Ebert, who is based in Denmark, it is about a lack of depth in life:
“Our society has presented people with an empty life for a long time. Christianity was boring; we tried that, so people wanted to try something else, and for a while everyone wanted to be Buddhists, New Age, and others tried sex, drugs, and rock’n’roll. But none of these things involve depth. Even Buddhism as a philosophy offers emptiness—the goal is to become one with nothingness, and that conflicts with humanity’s self-perception because, deep down, we know that we are more than nothing. People sense that you cannot live with an idea of nothing. Human beings are seekers; they are religious, and that pushes people toward an encounter with Christianity.”
An opinion poll showed that the majority of French catechumens were interested in religion following a trial in life or some form of illness, while others had had a religious experience. Others sought the church following an experience of beauty.
Father Daniel Steiner Ebert believes these trends are expressions of rebellion rooted in young people’s own life experiences.
“They have grown up with secular parents. They have tasted the secular fruit and, through their own experience, have found it wanting. They come from a generation that has been heavily affected by misfortune. How many have not been touched by divorce in their families? We live in a society where mental illness and general mental health have never been so bad, and the younger generation feels the consequences of this in their own lives.”
He adds that the answers previous generations gave to these problems do not work.
“Human beings search for answers. Previous generations gave poor answers, stemming from the dictatorship of relativism, expressed by saying: it is good if it is true for you; it just isn’t true for me. That is superficial.”
A break with the progressive
According to Fr. Ebert, young men are driving the renewed interest in Christianity because the secular world has run a remarkable indoctrination programme targeting women. An unhealthy form of feminism has sought to eradicate women and traditional femininity, and many women have become dazzled by this ideology and trapped by its influence, Fr. Ebert said.
“It is a toxic feminism that also attacks men. It tells women to break free from men, which is very anti-Christian. God tells us that it is not healthy for human beings to be alone. But men are left behind while society buys into the idea that men are stupid pigs.”
When society attacks the masculine, many men withdraw and seek something else—unfortunately, sometimes toward extreme forms of masculinity, particularly online, represented by online influencers such as Andrew Tate. However, others continue seeking and find Christianity, adds the priest.
“Christianity involves sacrificial love—sacrificing oneself for others. That is where true masculinity lies.”
“It is deeply built into men. Women, of course, also make sacrifices, but it takes a different form. Boys love playing cops and robbers and soldiers, where it is about fighting evil and sacrificing oneself. And that is precisely what Christianity points to: sacrificing yourself for what you love.”
In Catholic circles, there is a discussion about how many men have turned away from the Church because it has become feminised, particularly among American Catholic writers. Ebert is receptive to that analysis.
“The clergy have probably been influenced by secular society, and not all priests have had the courage to go against the current. Many have spoken more about uncontroversial topics than controversial ones. But more priests in the Catholic Church are now beginning to see that this doesn’t work and that one must say things as they are and be loyal to the Gospel. For a long time, people have not dared to speak about hell, for example, even though Jesus is the one who speaks most about it in Scripture. There were other sides to Jesus than the gentle flower-loving man. That has been ignored—and thus an incomplete image of the Lord has been preached—but gradually a shift is being seen.”
This shift is happening at the same time as many young people are showing greater interest in more traditional forms of Christianity. Young people are particularly drawn to Catholicism and Orthodoxy, as these demand more of believers in the form of sacraments and fasting, which appeals to those looking for more discipline.
Many younger Catholics are enthusiastic about the Mass in the Extraordinary Form (the Traditional Latin Mass or Tridentine Mass), and Fr. Ebert is not surprised.
“The trend has something to do with beauty. You hear that beauty is relative, but that is not true—it is objective, and it reflects God’s beauty. No one watches a sunset and thinks how terrible it was to look at. Classical music is universal because beauty is objective. So when young people attend the traditional Mass, it is about worship being the best it can be—authentic and serious—and wanting beauty to be an element of the liturgy. That particularly attracts a generation that has grown up in a society lacking in beauty.”
Faith in a secular society
The growing interest in Christianity is also present in Denmark. A Verian survey, conducted by Danish newspaper Berlingske Tidende in 2025, established that at least 10% of young Danes between 18 and 35 regularly attend church. This is true of only 7% of those aged 36 to 59. At the same time, the survey shows that young people are the group that attends church most frequently. According to the survey, 7% of 18–35-year-olds say they regularly go to church. In 2010, a similar survey showed that only 3% of Danes in that age group attended church. The number of churchgoers has more than doubled.
The priest believes that the interest is not as high as in other places experiencing a quiet revival, partly because of the ‘Law of Jante’, a Scandinavian norm that pushes conformism.
“In Denmark, there is the eternal Law of Jante, which is a dictatorship that constantly pushes people down, and it affects the faith community. It means that it is still dangerous to talk about faith in Denmark. Even though younger generations want to, there is a culture, carried by older generations, that says religion is not something you have in public. Society is actually somewhat schizophrenic since we have a folk church that is a state church—and thus public—but it shouldn’t be too public.”
But is it important to speak publicly? Previous Danish church minister Morten Dahlin has stated that as long as one believes, it does not matter whether one is a regular churchgoer.
“To believe but not go to church is self-contradictory,” Fr. Ebert says:
“If you are a Christian, you are a Christian in all your actions, not just in private. Everyone is weak and subject to sin, but to be a Christian is to take up the fight and struggle alongside the Lord and His grace. It should not be a great secret that one is a Christian. Our ancestors have time and again given their lives for it as martyrs. It is very anti-Christian behaviour to think that faith is entirely private.”
The faith of young Christians is about a break with the culture, he continues:
“Danish culture is no longer a Christian culture, even though we are built on Christian values. Denmark is heavily influenced by socialism, and we have drifted away from true Christianity and handed everything over to the state. That creates a cold society where people do not help their fellow human beings, because that is left to the state. It is a dead system.”
Fr. Ebert adds that Jesus teaches us that individual people must help one another here and now, and not just leave it to someone else. He continues:
“We say we are Christians, but there would be an outcry if anyone questioned abortion. It is simply not a discussion in Denmark, even though there are now around 15,000 abortions a year. It is in no way a Christian country. On top of that, we are a consumer society that tells people they are entitled to something simply because they want it. That is a very different mindset from the original Christian culture.”
The quiet revival is largely about young people’s search for something more than what the current culture contains. The question, however, is whether the quiet revival will hold among the young people who have found faith.
“Christianity is not a political idea, so it will only hold if they have had an encounter with the living God and understood that Jesus truly rose from the dead and saved us—then I believe it will hold.”
For the young men who have become interested in Christianity and are seeking meaning and more positive role models outside of politics, the priest offers a rallying call:
“Look to St. Joseph. He is the embodiment of the perfect man—apart from Jesus, of course—and if the modern man allows himself to be inspired by Joseph, that is the way out of where we are in society today. He had the perfect relationship with the Virgin Mary and his family. His priorities and willingness to sacrifice were decisive, and we can learn from that.”

Raed Saleh, the powerful German Social Democratic Party (SPD) puppet master, is repeatedly seen in the company of figures from the Islamist and Palestinian extremist spectrums. When questioned about this, he refers to it as an “absurd campaign”. Raed Saleh is one of the most powerful officials and powerbrokers in the Berlin SPD. He has led the Social Democrats’ parliamentary group in the House of Representatives for 15 years now – an exceptionally long time by the capital’s standards. The SPD has been part of the governing coalition throughout that period. Many careers, personnel decisions and power dynamics within the state party are linked to the 49-year-old.
Saleh, who arrived in Germany with his parents from a village in the West Bank at the age of five and describes himself as a ‘working-class child’, credibly champions traditional SPD causes such as education, social mobility and housing. Within the party, he is regarded as a bridge-builder to many migrant communities in Berlin. Critics, however, accuse him of personalising power to a great extent and consistently using networks to secure his own position. An investigation by the German newspaper WELT AM SONNTAG and Focus Online now reveals that Saleh has repeatedly been seen in the company of influential figures from both the Islamist and Palestinian extremist spectrums – over a long period of time and on multiple occasions with the same individuals. One notable connection, for example, is with the Berlin imam Ferid Heider. Heider is chairman of the Teiba Cultural Centre, a mosque in Berlin-Spandau. He also teaches Islamic studies at the Islamic Cultural and Educational Centre (IKEZ) and at the Intercultural Centre for Dialogue and Education.
Heider and Saleh had already met back in 2015, and in 2016 they posed for photos together. At the time, all three of the organisations mentioned were linked in the Berlin Office for the Protection of the Constitution’s report to the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood, which seeks to establish a theocracy based on Sharia law. According to the Berlin Office for the Protection of the Constitution’s report for 2017, the IKEZ was regarded as the “Berlin meeting place for Hamas supporters”. The organisations are no longer listed. Heider studied Sharia law at the European Institute for the Humanities (IESH) in France, which security authorities regard as a training ground for the Muslim Brotherhood. In 2020, the imam was appointed to the Fatwa Committee of Germany, which is dominated by supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood.
The documented contacts between Saleh and Heider are not coincidental encounters. As recently as March this year, for example, there was a joint Instagram post by Saleh featuring the account of Heider’s Teiba Mosque. “I joined in the prayers here in Spandau, my home district,” says the SPD parliamentary group leader in the clip. “I wish everyone peaceful coexistence.” A spokesperson for Saleh, the former Berlin SPD MP Torsten Schneider, simply told WELT AM SONNTAG: “It is confirmed that, on the occasion of the breaking of the fast, Mr Saleh engaged in conversation with members of the public outside various mosques in Berlin, the city of freedom and diversity, and intends to continue doing so in future.” He left unanswered the question of how Saleh viewed the accusation that he was supporting the activities of individuals with links to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Security authorities do not accuse Saleh himself of any extremist activities. However, numerous photos from the Arabic-language website of the Berlin-based activist Abed Khattar also raise questions about how radical Israel-haters are dealt with. According to German newspaper Bild, security circles consider Khattar to be part of the circle associated with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). Khattar features at least seven photographs on his website showing him alongside Saleh on various occasions over several years. Khattar himself appears on the site on several occasions standing next to PFLP flags and with an official from the Islamist group Hezbollah. The PFLP is a secular, far-left terrorist organisation that collaborates with Islamist organisations such as Hamas in the fight against Israel.
SPD politician Saleh is pictured alongside numerous other people on Khattar’s website, which reports on Arab and Muslim events in Berlin. Among them is Mohamad B., treasurer of a Berlin-based association of the Lebanese Amal Movement, who appears in several photographs. The Shia movement is regarded as secular, but is allied with the Islamists of Hezbollah, including in the fight against Israel. Both groups regard the Islamist regime in Iran as a friend. B. was a speaker at a memorial service for a Hezbollah spiritual leader who died in 2010. The photos showing Saleh and B. together date from 2012, 2016 and 2019. In 2019, Saleh also took part in an event organised by the aid organisation Islamic Relief; afterwards, he posted about its “impressive” work and expressed his gratitude. Five months earlier, the German government had reported that the organisation had “significant personnel links to the Muslim Brotherhood or organisations affiliated with it”.
Saleh rejects the impression that he has close ties to extremist groups. Regarding the photographs documented by the anti-Israel activist Khattar, his spokesperson says that the parliamentary group leader has no contact with the individuals mentioned “beyond the exchange of the usual small talk at such events”. A “fabricated, absurd campaign” is being waged against Saleh. Numerous public figures have appeared in photographs taken on the fringes of public events. “The question of one’s stance towards various groups is regarded here as insinuating and defamatory.”
Starmer’s support has vanished, even in his own cabinet
One too many scandals, one too many crises, and Labour party is ready for the ‘coronation’ of far-left Andy Burnham.
Failing British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has only been in office for 22 months, but it seems like a lifetime of suffering for the British people.
From the ‘freebies’ scandal to the Peter Mandelson-Jeffrey Epstein crisis, hardly a week passed by that Starmer didn’t have to scramble to save his premiership.
Now, at long-last, his allies reportedly believe he is ‘preparing to step down’ after his support in his party and even his cabinet has vanished over the weekend.
🚨 BREAKING: Keir Starmer is officially set to resign as Prime Minister
Several media reports say he'll outline a resignation timetable on Monday after consulting with his wife and family today
“A senior government figure told The Telegraph the embattled Prime Minister was realizing that the ‘game is up’ and his thoughts were turning to how he could ‘shore up his legacy’.
They said there had been ‘quite a bit of movement’ among Cabinet ministers since Andy Burnham’s Makerfield by-election victory, leading Sir Keir to reconsider his previous commitment to soldiering on.”
Keir Starmer is preparing to set out a timetable for his departure from No 10 this week after Andy Burnham’s triumphant return to Westminster in the Makerfield byelection.
The former mayor of Manchester, Burham, has won a by-election and got a seat in Parliament to challenge Starmer for the Labour party leadership – and the premiership.
“One Labour MP, who is usually considered to be a loyalist to the Prime Minister, said he believed Sir Keir would announce his departure date as soon as Monday given that his support among MPs was now down to only a handful of “friends and family”.
‘There’s no one left. Literally people whose relatives work in No 10 or people who are long term personal friends of Keir’s are pretty much the only ones left’, they said, adding that trying to stand in the way of Mr. Burnham’s path to Downing Street was ‘like trying to fight gravity’.”
🚨 WOW! Keir Starmer plans to RESIGN ON MONDAY as UK Prime Minister — Observer
"Starmer had reached the conclusion that his position was no longer tenable after speaking to cabinet minister, advisers, donors and trade union leaders," per Reuters
A 36-year-old Scottish man investigated by Counter Terrorism Police – Screengrab Social Media/X
Unchecked mass migration has a price – and the Muslim populations are starting to pay it, too.
Friday night, in the Scottish city of Edinburgh, the inevitable happened: a fed-up white citizen reportedly had the wrong idea and went out in a stabbing spree, apparently targeting Muslim migrants.
Counterterror detectives in Scotland are investigating the attacks after five people were injured.
“Police Scotland said a 36-year-old man was arrested late Friday after officers received multiple reports of attacks in the west and north of the city.
The force said five men — two aged 22, and others aged 24, 27 and 39 — sustained a range of injuries and three needed hospital treatment. None of the injuries is considered life-threatening.”

Images show the man being detained by Scottish police officers while he rants: “I’m protecting the country from these f***ing Muslim bastards raping our young daughters’.
While no one in their right mind can support this kind of behavior, this is an inevitable consequence of the migrant invasion and the widespread rape epidemic affecting the British isles.
“Video posted on social media appeared to show a shirtless man carrying a long weapon roaming a street and battering a restaurant door in the Scottish capital. Another video seemed to show the same man on the ground shouting about ‘protecting the country’ while being held by a police officer.”
A 36-year-old man has been arrested after a series of violent attacks across Edinburgh, appearing to target Muslims, which left five people injured.
On Thursday, June 18, 2026, a 20-year-old man physically assaulted two women, aged 26 and 21, in Magdeburg, injuring both of them.
According to the current state of the investigation, the suspect, who is from Afghanistan, is alleged to have suddenly attacked the 26-year-old German woman shortly after 11 am in the area of Hinter den Holzstrecken street, subsequently striking her several times and strangling her. Witnesses were able to prevent further violence and alerted the police. After receiving first aid at the scene, the victim was admitted to hospital. The police immediately launched an investigation, including examining the crime scene and conducting a police warning conversation with the suspect.
At around 1 pm, the police were informed that a man had attacked a woman in the Lorenzweg area. Police officers, who were dispatched immediately, arrived at the scene to encounter the 20-year-old man, who, according to the current state of the investigation, is alleged to have suddenly attacked the 21-year-old German woman, striking and kicking her several times. In this case too, witnesses were able to stop the suspect from continuing his attacks and hold him until the police arrived. The victim had to be treated as an outpatient at a hospital for the injuries she sustained. The suspect was taken into custody to prevent further offences.
The intensive police investigations carried out in both cases led to the Magdeburg Public Prosecutor’s Office applying for the suspect’s detention this Friday afternoon. The judge presiding at Magdeburg Magistrates’ Court issued an arrest warrant against the suspect on suspicion of attempted manslaughter, following which he was remanded in custody.
French President Emmanuel Macron has shot down the idea of backing a collective European project to establish illegal-migrant return hubs outside the bloc, after the EU Parliament paved the way earlier this week.
Claiming that it is contrary to the supposed values of “Europe”, President Macron said that France will not agree to fund any EU migrant return hubs, nor will Paris seek to partner on an individual basis with a third-party country, as it will be allowed to under the new returns regulations passed on Wednesday in Strasbourg.
Rather than allowing illegals to remain in EU nations while they await deportation, the impending rules will allow European countries to send migrants to holding centres abroad while they seek to return them to their homeland.
The model was initially floated by the former Conservative government in the United Kingdom, which struck an agreement to send illegal boat migrants to Rwanda. However, the programme never got off the ground as it was legally challenged at home by open borders activist attorneys and at the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). It was ultimately scrapped by Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party on their first day in power in 2024.
A similar scheme was set up by Prime Minsiter Giorgia Meloni’s government in Rome, which partnered with Albania to establish return centres for those who illegally cross the Mediterranean from Africa. Yet this, too, was stymied by judicial activism in Italy and at the European Court of Justice. The passage of new regulations by the European Parliament this week will likely pave the way for the Albania scheme to be revived and potentially expanded, with nearly 20 EU nations expressing interest in such a programme and potentially funding a joint project.
However, it does not appear that France will join such a scheme, at least for the final year of President Macron’s term in office. On the sidelines of a meeting of the European Council in Brussels on Friday, the French leader said of third-party migrant return hubs: “France does not support this policy.”
“I have never seen a return centre in a third country actually work. In recent years, I have heard many people talk about doing this or signing agreements. I urge you to consider what this entails. It means that people who don’t want to return to their country of origin, or whom you are unable to return to their country of origin, will be sent to a third country, and that country will accept them, perhaps in exchange for money,” he said.
“So what kind of country are you building, what kind of relationships are you creating, what kind of human rights are you upholding, and you are pushing all these people into a country that is not their own, even though you don’t want to keep them at home? I’m not sure that this is what our Europe is about,” Macron declared. “I’m not sure that these are the fundamental principles on which our Europe was built.”
“Furthermore, I don’t believe it is effective. The proof is that I have yet to see anyone make it work. I even believe that the countries that had signed preliminary agreements with various members of the European Union or elsewhere have not implemented them. Therefore, we will not implement them, and while I have great respect for all those who wish to do so, I disagree, both pragmatically and in principle,” he said, despite his government’s dismal deportation rate.
The French president said that he would “oppose the use of the European budget” to fund any migrant return centres, claiming that it would make the EU look bad to allies in Africa if they were seen as caring more about illegal migration to Europe rather than combating human trafficking in Africa.
“From my perspective, this should be a matter for each state’s policies; I respect them, but they are not the ones we will implement, and they are not the ones that the budget we will adopt will implement,” he vowed.
However, it remains to be seen if this will be the position of Paris, given the upcoming election in 2027 to decide who will succeed President Macron in the Élysée Palace.
Indeed, potential presidential candidate Marine Le Pen said of Macron’s stance: “After having been the candidate of mass immigration, Emmanuel Macron has since 2017 been the president of organized submersion that has completely destabilized our country.
“For the waning Macronists, as for the left and the far left, mass immigration is a project. For the vast majority of the French, it is a problem and we will resolve it in 2027.”
