UK: Police Letting Suspects Go And ‘Hoping For The Best’
Police are “letting [suspects] off with a warning and hoping for the best” because they can’t cope with the scale of the crime problem, a senior officer has warned. Since 2010, the number of custody cells has dropped by as much as 50 per cent, with further cuts planned to the suites where suspects are taken after they are picked up by police. In a similar timeframe, the number of arrests saw a dramatic fall from 1.5 million in 2006/2007 to 780,000 in the year to March — despite large increases in recorded crime. The reduction in custody cell numbers has seen Gloucestershire left with just one suite to cover the whole county, whilst several other counties including Cambridgeshire and Nottinghamshire have just two each.

Conservative Grassroots Frontrunner Ready to Stand Up for ‘Silent Majority’ in France
Frontrunner to lead conservatives in France, Laurent Wauquiez — who called U.S. President Donald Trump an “inspiration” — has said he is ready to take on globalist president Emmanuel Macron and speak for the “silent majority”. The 42-year-old, who opinion polls mark as the clear favourite to become the leader of Les Républicains (LR) in France next month, is characterised by the media as “hard right” due to his conservative views on immigration and radical Islam. Speaking after a party rally, Wauquiez said conservative parties have moved too far to the centre in recent years. “We won’t bring people together by being tepid,” he told Reuters on Wednesday. At the rally in Provins, the French politician had called for an end to giving free healthcare to illegal immigrants, and blasted politicians’ “naivety” over Islam, which prompted the international news agency to accuse him of parroting “[Front National Leader Marine] Le Pen’s favourite themes”. “So if Marine Le Pen says it’s night-time I should say it’s day-time? Because the National Front (FN) talks about immigration I shouldn‘t? “After the wave of attacks that have traumatized our country, the right shouldn’t talk about Islamic fundamentalism?”, he asked the interviewer before slamming German Chancellor Angela
Britain Granted Almost 900,000 Residence Permits to Non-EU Migrants in 2016
Migrants from outside the European Union (EU) were handed residence permits to live in Britain at the rate of one every 36 seconds last year, new data has revealed. During 2016, the UK granted 865,894 non-EU migrants the right to stay in the country, marking a 52 per cent rise from the previous year, according to figures published by Eurostat. The number makes up a quarter of all residence permits that were issued across Europe, according to the data, which shows Britain handed out more than any other nation. Of migrants who were given permits to live in the UK, 21 per cent of those recorded were U.S. citizens while 14 per cent came from India and 12 per cent from China. Most EU nations have a system in which residence permits allow migrants from outside Europe to stay in the country legally. Because the UK lacks an exact parallel to this, Eurostat counts work, study and family visas — excluding visas given to tourists — as the nearest comparison.
