By Megan Banner Reporter
18:13, 23 MAY 2023

A Huddersfield man who sexually assaulted a vulnerable woman also attacked two other females, it has been revealed.

Naveed Khawaja, 55, of Yew Street, Huddersfield was jailed for three years at Leeds Crown Court on May 9 after being convicted of three sexual assaults. The 55-year-old was arrested on October 11, 2021 following a report that a man had attended the home of a victim earlier that month.

Once in the house he committed a sexual assault on the victim who was particularly vulnerable. An investigation was launched by officers from Kirklees CID who on reviewing the offence, linked Khawaja with two unsolved offences in Bradford from July 2017 and October 2019.

A SEX attacker broke into a woman's home through an attic before tying her to a chair and trying to rape her at knifepoint.

Karan Pullock, 37, was described as "truly dangerous" individual after attacking the victim at her home in Hackney, London.

The victim said: “There are days where I struggle to get out of bed. Not recognising the person I once was. I wonder what the point is, where I no longer have the confidence to live like I used to.

"To live in a city like London and constantly be in fear feels hopeless.

“I’m a grown woman who is now scared of the dark. I feel embarrassed trying to make plans to see friends, or client meetings and having to work around this.

"In the winter months, it makes this basically impossible."

Homeless migrant attacks cop with iron bar, shot in leg


Officer acted in self-defence says Naples mayor

(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 23 - A homeless African migrant was shot in the leg Tuesday after attacking a policeman with an iron bar outside the Duomo in Naples after being told to move from the portico where he and other street people have been spending the night for some time, local sources said.

The officer took out his gun and fired the shot, wounding the migrant slightly, as the man tried to hit him again on the ground, the sources said.

Several passersby tried to stop the migrant attacking the agent, and then offered first aid and assistance to the injured officer.

The anti-white, pro-rapeugee, jew-controlled European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) is always working to destroy Eastern European countries by trying to force them to accept third-world immigration and LGBT "rights" (two of the most important aspects of the nefarious jewish agenda). This time they're targeting Romania:

Romania must recognise same-sex civil unions, EU top rights court rules


Romania must legalise same-sex civil unions, Europe's top rights court ruled on Tuesday, in a victory for LGBTQ+ campaigners in the socially conservative southeastern European country.

Issued on: 23/05/2023 - 16:11

Text by: NEWS WIRES

Twenty-one same-sex couples took Romania to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), arguing the lack of legal recognition of their relationships "deprived them of their dignity as spouses".

In a ruling on Tuesday, the ECHR found the country had violated Article 8 of the European Convention, which protects the right to respect for family life, by not giving LGBTQ+ couples any means of legally safeguarding their relationships.

The Romanian couples cited the disadvantages faced under current domestic laws, such as being barred from mortgage programmes, spousal bereavement leave or joint health insurance.

The ECHR said none of the government's arguments outweighed the couples' concerns, and further ruled that recognising same-sex civil unions would not harm the institution of marriage.

The ruling will become legally binding after a three-month period in which both sides have the right to appeal to a higher court of the ECHR.

If neither do, the ruling will stand and lead to Romania being required to implement legislation to introduce same-sex civil unions.

The globalist jews like to use young, beautiful, healthy-looking white people when promoting LGBT "rights" to the (white) public, but if you look at the real LGBT activists, the influential ones, the writers, journalists, university professors, politicians, etc., who are actively working to subvert traditional Western society, you will find that they're largely jews who look like this:

Germany: Gang rapes hit another record high in 2022, half of offenses committed by foreigners


While foreigners make up 14 percent of the population, they account for 50 percent of all gang rapes in Germany

May 25, 2023
editor: REMIX NEWS author: JOHN CODY



Gang rapes have hit another record high in Germany in 2022, reaching a pace of more than two a day in the country, according to data released by the government after a request for information from the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.

The data shows that the total number of gang rapes hit 789, higher than last year when the number hit 677 and the previous record high of 710 in 2019. In 2017, there were 380 gang rapes recorded, more than 50 percent fewer than recorded in 2022.

The data shows that exactly 50 percent of all gang rapes are committed by foreigners. However, as Remix News previously reported, individuals with a migration background, or even those with dual citizenship, who number nearly 4 million, are simply listed as “German.” As a result, it is unclear what percentage of these rapes were committed by ethnic Germans.

In a statement on the statistics published on Facebook, the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party writes: “The figures on the composition of the perpetrators are also clear and show that all claims that there is no connection between mass migration and the collapse of internal security are lies. There were 471 suspected perpetrators with a German passport compared to 472 foreigners – so around half of the perpetrators are foreigners, although their share of the total population is ‘only’ around 14 percent. However, the 50 percent does not include the number of German suspects with foreign origins! The main countries of origin of the foreign suspects were once again Syria and Afghanistan.”

The data shows the strongest increase in rapes coincided with Germany’s migrant population swelling due to the 2016 migrant crisis. That was the same year that the infamous sexual assaults took place in Cologne on New Year’s Eve, in which an estimated 1,049 women were sexually assaulted and sometimes gang raped by men from North Africa and the Middle East.

As the red, bolded paragraph suggests, the third-world savages are most likely responsible for more than 50 percent of the offenses.

Ministers tee up fresh immigration clampdown after net inflows hit record 606,000 - the population of Glasgow - last year: Rishi Sunak admits 'numbers are too high' as he battles to quell Tory panic - while Suella Braverman 'goes AWOL'


By JAMES TAPSFIELD, POLITICAL EDITOR FOR MAILONLINE
PUBLISHED: 09:33 BST, 25 May 2023 | UPDATED: 16:18 BST, 25 May 2023

Ministers teed up a fresh clampdown on immigration today as Rishi Sunak faced a Tory backlash over an extraordinary spike in numbers.

Long-awaited statistics showed net migration to the UK was 606,000 across 2022. That was far higher than the 488,000 level for 2021 - even though that was upgraded by 91,000 in the latest official publication.
(...)
Although slightly lower than some had feared, the eye-watering level - roughly equivalent to adding the population of Bristol or Glasgow in a single year - sparked a furious political row over the Conservative manifesto pledge that 'numbers will come down' from the 226,000 in 2019.

Under David Cameron and Theresa May there was a commitment to bring the long-term net migration figures into the tens of thousands, and one of the selling points for Brexit was 'taking back control' of borders.

Tory anger at the situation was evident in the House of Commons this morning, with warnings that voters will not tolerate the 'unsustainable' situation.

Speaking on ITV's This Morning, Mr Sunak said: 'Numbers are too high, it's as simple as that. And I want to bring them down.'

No, he doesn't. Sunak is a jew-puppet, and the jews want the third-world invasion of the West to continue.

For our new lurkers, this is what the (former) prime minister David Cameron once said about his "conservative" party:

LONDON — There are so many Jews at the top of Britain’s Conservative party, Prime Minister David Cameron once quipped, that it should be known as the Torah party rather than the Tory party.

UK government has processed just 1% of asylum applications from small boat migrants last year


Of the 80,989 asylum claims made in the past five years by small boat migrants, just 16 percent have been processed, meaning some individuals have been living in Britain for five years without a confirmed right to do so

May 25, 2023
editor: REMIX NEWS author: THOMAS BROOKE



FILE - Migrants successfully cross the English Channel to reach the U.K. from the European mainland.

The U.K. Home Office has processed just 1 percent of the 45,000 individuals who entered Britain illegally and claimed asylum in the year to March, government figures revealed.

The data published on Thursday regarding the status of irregular migrants in Britain showed that 44,797 people that the government is aware of arrived on England’s southern shore via small boats from mainland Europe in the year to March 2023. Of those, 40,444 claimed asylum.

As of May 25, the government had only processed 504 claims, just over 1 percent of cases in the past year, granting asylum in 61 percent of those cases.

In fact, the government has only processed 16 percent of the 11,902 asylum cases submitted by small boat migrants dating back to 2018, meaning some of the 88,221 individuals arriving in Britain using this method have potentially been waiting five years for a decision on their asylum application.

EU parliament trying to block Hungary from holding EU council presidency in 2024


The European Parliament does not have a mandate to take action on the matter but is still trying to block Hungary

May 25, 2023
editor: REMIX NEWS author: NÉPSZAVA



The European Parliament (EP) is set to adopt a new resolution on the rule of law in Hungary and the freezing of EU funds at its plenary session on June 1, opposition news portal Népszava reports after having seen the draft.

The draft five-party resolution questions whether Hungary will be able to credibly hold the EU Council presidency in 2024 while violating the EU’s core values and failing to abide by the principle of loyal cooperation.

The European Parliament therefore calls on the European Council to find a solution to the problem, otherwise the bloc’s parliament will intervene. This is the first time that the EU parliament has attempted to block the Orbán government from running the EU27 decision-making body.

The various countries of the EU rotate the council presidency position every six months, with Hungary set to hold the position for six months from July next year. The rotating presidency coordinates the institution’s legislative activities and represents it in its relations with other EU bodies.
https://rmx.news/european-union/eu-p...dency-in-2024/

In my opinion, Hungary should just leave the EU, but sadly I doubt that that will happen.

The EU has no leadership, only NGOs and think tanks telling it what to do, says Hungarian minister


“In the European Union today, it is non-governmental organizations (NGOs), foundations and think tanks that tell Europe how to run Europe, according to the will of their own leaders”

May 26, 2023
editor: REMIX NEWS author: MAGYAR HÍRLAP



Hungarian Justice Minister Judit Varga. (Facebook)

No one has the courage and aptitude to lead Europe today, meaning there is no political leadership in the European Union, especially in the European Commission, said Hungarian Justice Minister Judit Varga at a Budapest conference on Thursday.

“In the European Union today, it is non-governmental organizations (NGOs), foundations and think tanks that tell Europe how to run Europe, according to the will of their own leaders,” she said.

“Recently, for asymmetric reasons, a crisis of confidence has arisen between the EU leadership and the Hungarian government. This is because the Hungarian government, unlike the EU institutions, says what it thinks and does what it says,” she added.

Varga said Europe is stumbling around the stage of history as a clumsy sideshow, drifting from crisis to crisis, and since the migration crisis, it has been trying to make policy in a way that is completely divorced from the real needs of its citizens. She said the institutional system also failed during the Covid crisis and then shot itself in the foot with sanctions against Russia after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war.

She warned that immigration is a crisis that still affects Europe and continues to cost the Hungarian budget heavily.

Thousands of migrant workers descend on Polish city to construct Orlen’s new refinery, and the local community isn’t happy


It is estimated that there will be 10,000 people working on the project, including 6,000 migrant workers from Korea, India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Turkey and Turkmenistan

May 26, 2023
editor: GRZEGORZ ADAMCZYK author: WERONIKA SZKWAREK via: MONEY.PL



Polish energy giant PKN Orlen is building a new oil refinery in the Płock area of central Poland, and the influx of foreign labor it entails is making the local population nervous about what will happen to their tourist businesses and the security of their community.

The cost of the investment is understood to be €3 billion, and the contractor chosen, Hyundai Engineering, is hiring workers from the Middle East and Asia for the job. The wave of foreign nationals this has already brought and is expected to continue to bring into the area, along with the scale of the project, is causing ripples in Płock’s local communities.

The rural village of Koszelówka is home to a population of just 180 people and has developed tourism around a local lake. Orlen is already purchasing beds in the area to house the workforce necessary for the construction of the new oil refinery.

The owners of the tourist businesses are concerned that they will lose clients who are put off by the mass of foreign workers, especially regular customers who come back year after year. They report that schools that used to organize spring and summer camps are asking questions about what the presence of so many foreign nationals will mean for security. Although they emphasize that they are not prejudiced, they nevertheless are still worried about their businesses.

Several hundreds of workers have already been housed in the city of Płock and surrounding rural areas. It is estimated that there will be 10,000 people working on the project, including 6,000 from Korea, India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Turkey and Turkmenistan.

Farage: Britain addicted to ‘cheap imported labor’ and let down by ‘dishonest, globalist’ Conservative party


Nigel Farage spoke to Sky News in an explosive interview hours after Britain recorded its highest net migration figures in history

May 26, 2023
editor: REMIX NEWS author: THOMAS BROOKE



Former conservative politician Nigel Farage has claimed that post-Brexit net immigration into the U.K. would have fallen below 50,000 a year if he had been in charge, and refused to rule out a return to frontline politics to take on what he described as a “dishonest, establishment, globalist” governing Conservative party that has failed Brexit voters.

The former Brexit Party and UKIP leader spoke to Sky News on Thursday, hours after the Office for National Statistics (ONS) released the latest immigration figures, which showed net migration had spiraled to 606,000 in the last calendar year — the highest figure ever recorded despite Britain leaving the European Union and supposedly “taking back control” of its borders.

He told interviewer Beth Rigby that the Conservative party had never been serious about implementing the socially conservative pledges its multiple leaders had made during successive general elections, and took aim at former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who instead of enacting a new immigration policy to reduce the numbers which Brexit voters had expected, had relaxed wage thresholds and work visa requirements and overseen the largest explosion of mass immigration into Britain ever recorded.

According to the Italian non-governmental organization EMERGENCY, 500 refugees and migrants are stranded on board a boat in distress in the Mediterranean Sea after it departed Libya for Europe.

"The boat is already embarking water," explained Albert Mayodono, Mission Coordinator on board EMERGENCY's rescue ship Life Support, which is heading toward the boat in distress. On Twitter Mayodono urged "authorities to take on responsibility of the rescue before it's too late."

Following a shipwreck in the Greek Aegean waters, three migrants have been reported dead and a dozen missing.

Three migrants are thought to have died and 12 are reported missing after a boat carrying migrants capsized off the Greek tourist island of Mykonos in the Aegean Sea.

Greek state broadcaster ERT News on Friday (May 26) reported that the three recovered bodies were two women and one man.

Rapist Umer Sajjad took advantage of woman while she slept in Village Hotel room


The victim said her 'life was ruined' by Umer Sajjad

By Kelly Ashmore
17:33, 25 MAY 2023



Umer Sajjad

A woman said her 'life was ruined' by a Birmingham man who raped her in a hotel room, revealing that she 'still cries as if it happened yesterday'. Umer Sajjad 'violated the woman in the worst way possible' as she slept - only stopping when she woke up and asked what he was doing.

The 24-year-old had sex with the woman without her without consent at the Village Hotel in Cardiff in 2019. They ended up in the same room after a night out in the city centre, but it was agreed Sajjad would sleep on the floor.

However in the morning, he got into the bed, pulled her clothing down and took advantage of her, Cardiff Crown Court heard. WalesOnline reports that when she woke up and confronted him, he stopped and apologised as she fled to the bathroom.

A 'dangerous' sex predator who raped a woman after posing as a taxi driver to trick her into his car has been jailed. Thasawar Iqbal kidnapped two vulnerable victims in a matter of months as he prowled the streets outside Birmingham city centre nightclubs during the early hours of the morning.

He took cocaine and kissed the first woman who managed to escape and call the police. The 41-year-old was arrested and bailed but went on to target the second woman using the same tactics. This time he would rape his victim multiple times.

Border Force intercepts more Channel migrants as yearly total rises to 3,767: Boats carrying 87 migrants arrived in Dover as Government pushes on with its illegal migration bill


By NATASHA ANDERSON
PUBLISHED: 15:02 BST, 27 March 2023 | UPDATED: 15:57 BST, 27 March 2023

Dozens of migrants crossed the Channel in small boats on Sunday as MPs prepare to scrutinise the Government's Illegal Migration Bill in the House of Commons.

A total of 87 migrants were brought into the harbour at Dover in Kent yesterday after being intercepted at sea, bringing the total of illegal crossings so far for 2023 to 3,767.

The group are the first to arrive by small boats since just over a week ago, when three boats carrying 118 people were intercepted.

Officials have predicted that as many as 80,000 people could make the crossing this year.

Why the nation state failed


The electorate has been disregarded
BY MARY HARRINGTON



I spent the run-up to Brexit waddling around my small town with a large baby bump, delivering Vote Leave campaign leaflets. As I explained to friends who wondered why I was campaigning for something so obviously daft, I did so because I felt that it was wrong that EU membership had removed key policy areas from electoral influence.

The result had been, I felt, leaders on autopilot, and a waning capacity for self-government. It might be too late to reverse this trajectory, but those of us who take civic nationalism and engaged democratic politics seriously ought to try.

This was the message condensed into the successful Vote Leave campaign message: “Take Back Control.” So there I was, doing my bit for an exercise in mass democratic engagement. We all know what happened next. Like my daughter, the Leave victory is now six years old. So how’s it going? Have we taken back control? Leaving aside Covid and the wrangling over how (or whether) to leave, there’s one clear measure where we can assess our leaders’ scorecard on returning democratic accountability to the British electorate: immigration.

If for me, supporting Leave was about democratic accountability, for many Brexit voters it was much more practical. Thanks to EU free movement rules, many felt the level of low-skilled immigration to the United Kingdom was too high, depressing wages. Many Leave voters sought to return immigration to British national control, in the hope that politicians would then use the powers they now possessed to lower immigration in line with the desires of voters.

On this metric, Brexit has spectacularly failed. ONS statistics this week are expected to show that net migration has in fact more than doubled from the pre-Brexit level of 336,000 to over 700,000 in 2022. Some are predicting net migration for a single year could top one million. In the wake of these revelations, just 9% of Brexiters believe Brexit has been a success.

Where, then, is the “control” the Brexit campaign promised could be taken back? In truth, the real question this raises goes deeper than whether or not political leaders have betrayed their voters since 2016. It’s a question that was raised, or at least gestured at, by many at last week’s National Conservatism conference in Westminster, to shrill horror from the self-appointed Virtuous People in the press. Namely: what even is a nation? What, and who, is it for?
