Facebook shared post captured from Rebel News Fan / Restore Britain Barnsley, Penistone & Stocksbridge Branch / Rupert Lowe MP Supporters Group, visible in browser on 2026-08-25. 74,174 RAPES RECORDED IN ONE YEAR. THOUSANDS OF SINGLE MEN WHOSE HISTORIES MAY BE IMPOSSIBLE TO VERIFY PLACED IN COMMUNITIES ACROSS BRITAIN. YET THE GOVERNMENT STILL REFUSES TO TELL US HOW MANY SEXUAL OFFENDERS ARE ASYLUM SEEKERS. These are not rumours, exaggerations or figures taken from social media. Police in England and Wales recorded 74,174 rape offences in the year ending December 2025. That is more than 1,400 recorded rapes every week, representing a 5 per cent increase in just one year. The Crime Survey for England and Wales also found that sexual assault was significantly more prevalent in 2025 than it had been a decade earlier. It estimated that approximately 900,000 people experienced some form of sexual assault in a single year. Meanwhile, Britain continues to receive tens of thousands of people through illegal entry routes. In the year ending December 2025, the Home Office recorded 46,497 detected illegal arrivals, with almost nine out of ten arriving by small boat. The Government’s own figures show that the overwhelming majority of small boat arrivals are male. In the year ending March 2025, almost 65,000 adult men claimed asylum in Britain, compared with approximately 23,500 adult women. Many are subsequently placed in hotels, former military accommodation and shared properties in or near towns and villages. Communities are frequently given little meaningful consultation and understandably want answers. Who are these men? How conclusively have their identities been established? What checks have been made against overseas criminal records? How reliable are records from countries affected by war, persecution, corruption or institutional collapse? How many asylum seekers have subsequently been arrested, charged or convicted of rape and other sexual offences in Britain? The Home Office says asylum seekers undergo identity and security checks against British policing and immigration databases. But checking somebody against a British database is only useful if that person’s true identity is known and the relevant information has previously been recorded. If someone arrives without reliable documentation from a country with incomplete or inaccessible criminal records, how can the authorities confidently establish that person’s history? That is not an accusation against every asylum seeker. It is a legitimate safeguarding question that any responsible government should be able to answer. The latest Home Office figures show that 93 per cent of Sudanese and 87 per cent of Eritrean asylum decisions resulted in protection or other leave in the year ending March 2026. Most successful applicants will therefore be permitted to remain in Britain. Yet the Government still does not routinely publish a comprehensive national breakdown showing arrests, charges and convictions by offence, nationality, asylum status and method of entry. That means nobody can honestly use the available national figures to prove that asylum seekers caused the increase in rape. But it also means ministers cannot use the absence of evidence to assure communities that there is no problem. The absence of transparent data is itself the scandal. We must also acknowledge that most rape victims know their attacker. The Crime Survey found that approximately 43 per cent identified a partner or former partner, while another 38 per cent identified somebody else known to them. Protecting women therefore means confronting sexual violence wherever it occurs and whoever commits it. It also means refusing to silence legitimate questions about immigration, accommodation and public safety. We need: - Arrest, charge and conviction figures published by offence, nationality and immigration status - A record of whether foreign offenders entered legally, by small boat or through another illegal route - Genuine identity, criminality and safeguarding assessments before accommodation is allocated - Consultation with councils, police and safeguarding partnerships before large numbers of single adult men are placed in a community - Compulsory instruction about British laws on consent, women’s rights, sexual offences and the age of consent - Prosecution under British law for anyone committing rape in this country - Deportation of foreign nationals convicted of serious sexual offences whenever legally permissible following their sentences Every innocent person deserves to be treated fairly. Every woman and child deserves to feel safe. And every community deserves facts, transparency and a voice. Compassion must never come at the expense of safeguarding. Publish the figures. Verify identities. Protect our communities. Sources claimed by post: ONS crime figures, ONS sexual offences analysis, Home Office illegal entry figures, Home Office asylum figures.
