Migrant Murderers and Rapists Feel Increasingly at Home in Britain

The case of 20-year-old Karin Al-Danasurt is a stark illustration of how convicted criminals are able to conceal themselves in Britain. The state, it seems, is less concerned with the safety of its own citizens than with the possibility that such individuals might face punishment in their countries of origin.

A Rapist Shielded by ‘Political’ Protection

‘Karin Al-Danasurt, known as 'The Laughing One', has fled Egypt after being convicted of murder." He arrived in the UK by boat with two other rapists. He was staying in a refugee hostel funded by taxpayers.

‘[He] gang-raped a woman on Brighton Beach together with two other migrants on boats, whilst they spat at her, kicked her and filmed it,’ says former MEP and journalist Martin Daubney, describing the absurdity of the situation. As if that were not enough, several other alleged rapists — and at least one murderer — have also entered Britain. One of the central arguments put forward by the defence is that, according to the UK government itself, individuals who openly criticise the authorities in Egypt may face serious danger. In other words, the perpetrators claim persecution on political grounds. It would therefore come as little surprise if the courts were to refuse deportation and instead grant asylum. Calls from Martin Daubney and others for the immediate removal of such offenders may well go unanswered.

A Problem the Government Prefers Not to See

The scale of illegal migration to Britain is, by any measure, immense. Experts speak of millions of foreign nationals. According to figures from the Migration Control Centre, between 2021 and 2023 there were 104,000 convictions involving foreign nationals, including tens of thousands for serious offences. Such figures are deeply alarming — and perhaps that is precisely why the police have recently ceased recording cases involving migrants as a separate category. The Starmer government’s lenient approach appears only to encourage further criminality among illegal migrants. Whatever one’s views on Donald Trump, his hard-line stance on migration would, some argue, prove useful in Britain. Sentimental Americans don’t realise how lucky they are. ‘Antifa and open-borders activists have been revealing the addresses of ICE officers and federal agents, staging protests outside their homes, and posting photos and threats targeting their families,’ writes NYT journalist. In Britain, by contrast, such officials would likely be applauded in the streets.

And yet, only thirty or forty years ago, the mere suggestion that a convicted rapist might be granted political asylum in the UK would have provoked an outcry so severe that, at the very least, the Home Secretary would have been forced to resign. Today, however, Labour politicians appear content to play at democracy whilst allowing what many see as a very real threat to public safety to persist.
