Police tell 'high risk' Surrey villages how to spot threat of terrorists firing rockets at planes at Heathrow

Usually talks in village halls by police cover such mundane crimes as burglaries, theft of bicycles or minor speeding offences.

But officers have shocked residents in Surrey by giving briefings on  terrorists armed with rocket launchers targeting planes taking off and landing at Heathrow.

The villages in Effingham, Ockham and East Horsley have been identified as 'high risk' sites for use by extremists.

Officers from the Metropolitan Police's specialist aviation security team have been touring with a surface-to-air rocket launcher and video of a rocket hitting a plane in Iraq.

They showed residents marked maps highlighting likely launch sites for terrorist attacks and told them to be on the alert for people burying weapons in the ground.

They are available in Afghanistan for around £120 and could be quickly hidden underground and reassembled to launch an attack.

James Nicholls, from Effingham, who was invited to a meeting in Ockham, (population under 400), told the Telegraph: 'It was extraordinary, I couldn't believe it.

'We were asked to look for people burying things in the ground and shown all the components of this heat-seeking shoulder-launched missile.

'They told us there's no threat whatsoever, but please be on the lookout. This is an awful lot of work to be putting in if there is no threat.'

Threat: Rocket launchers are available in Afghanistan for
 around £120 and can be reassembled for attacks

Officers showed a missile striking an Airbus A300 cargo plane in Iraq in 2003 which forced the aircraft into an emergency landing after it lost hydraulic power.

The Met admitted there is no evidence that terrorists have any missiles in Britain, but have held similar meetings at airports around the country.

A spokesman said that the force regularly talks to communities to encourage the public to be 'vigilant.'

He added: 'This is part of an ongoing process and is not in response to any specific intelligence.'

Shocking report reveals one in four accused of 'street grooming' is Asian

One in four men accused of ‘street grooming’ underage girls for sex is Asian, a shocking  report reveals.

In total, 2,379 offenders are suspected of attempting to lure vulnerable victims, often using drugs and alcohol, over the past three years.

And a ‘disproportionate’ 28 per cent of them were found to be Asian, in those cases where
 ethnicity was recorded. The ethnic group makes up just six per cent of the UK population.

Saddique in their BMW speaking to girls in Derby

But although the figures are likely to provoke controversy, officials warn that they are
 incomplete and potentially misleading.

The report was ordered after the ringleaders of a Derby gang, which subjected a string of
 vulnerable girls to rapes and sexual assaults, were jailed earlier this year. Following the case, 

former home secretary Jack Straw accused some Pakistani men in Britain of seeing white girls as
 ‘easy meat’ for sexual abuse.

Several police forces have investigations currently going on into gangs suspected of
systematically abusing young girls.

The latest figures were revealed in the most detailed assessment yet
 of a

 crime that takes place ‘under the radar’.

Civil servants have spent weeks arguing over how best to
present the potentially incendiary findings of the six-month
study, which examined

figures dating back to 2008.

It found that of 1,217 offenders whose ethnicity had been recorded, 346 were Asian, 367 white, 38 black, 464 unknown and two Chinese.

Analysis revealed that 28 per cent of offenders are Asian.

The majority of offenders were men aged between 18 and 24, with

 many using flattery and gifts to make victims believe they had an ‘older

 boyfriend’. 

Of the 2,083 victims, 61 per cent were white, and most aged 14 or 15.

 Many were in care, or had a history of running away from home.

And many victims were reluctant to speak to police and feared 

appearing in court because ‘they did not expect to be believed’.

However, the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre said its research is incomplete because authorities across the UK are failing to record basic information. 

Peter Davies, who leads the agency, said local authorities charged with protecting children are
 failing to take  ‘elementary steps’, including recording statistics.

He said: ‘This is a horrific crime, it involves the systematic,
premeditated rape of young children.

‘There should be no hiding place anywhere for people who plan
and take part in this type of crime.

‘Victims need a level of help and support that in most parts of the
country they do not receive and is not on offer to them.’ Mr Davies
admitted the figures did reveal a ‘disproportionate’ number of male,
Asian offenders.

in the Derby case, Abid Saddique and Mohammed Liaqat, part of a gang of nine
, cruised the streets of the town, picking victims who they plied with vodka and cocaine
 before
 attacking them. In January, they were told they would serve a minimum of 
11 years and 
eight years respectively before they could be considered for release.

But he warned: ‘Focusing on this problem simply through

 the lens

of ethnicity does not do it service.’

The Government will publish an action plan in the autumn, 

detailing how it will respond to concerns about the
sexual exploitation of children.

Last week, Children’s Minister Tim Loughton provoked a row

by suggesting that ‘closed’ Asian communities have
turned a blind eye to

 child sex grooming by gangs of men.

He said criminals had escaped detection because of attitudes
within

 their communities as well as ‘political correctness and racial
 sensitivities’

of the authorities.

Anne Marie Carrie, of Barnado’s said the report confirms
not

 all victims

 come forward.

‘Still more children remain trapped under the control 

of their abusers

 because we are failing to spot the signs,’ she warned.

Home Office Minister James Brokenshire said:

 ‘This assessment is an important step in our understanding an
extremely complex issue.’

More than 2,000 children "victims of sex grooming" -- often by Muslim gangs

The first UK-wide study of street grooming of children has found more than 2,000 victims of systematic abuse.


The ethnicity of around half the offenders was not known but in the remainder a quarter of offenders were Asian and 38% were white.

The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (Ceop) warned against focusing on ethnicity over the issue.

Head of Ceop Peter Davies said many local agencies were failing to give victims the support they needed.

The six-month assessment of the scale of "street grooming" was launched after a high profile case saw a number of Asian men convicted of sexually abusing girls in Derby.

Ceop said it had evidence of 230 gangs, mostly young men, who were identifying and grooming children for systematic sexual abuse. Some groups were large enough to be considered organised crime enterprises that were supplying victims to be raped by paying clients.

"This is a horrific kind of crime," said Mr Davies. "It involves systematic, premeditated rape of children and needs to be understood in those stark terms. It needs to be brought out of the dark."

But Ceop's report said that the available evidence was patchy. The review identified 2,083 victims and 2,379 offenders since the start of 2008.

Investigators were only able to establish reliable information about half of the offenders, the majority of whom were aged between 18 and 24.

In almost a third of the remaining cases, agencies had insufficient information to draw any conclusions about ethnicity. Of those that remained, 38% were white and 26% were Asian.

The report said that the majority of victims were white girls - although in a third of cases the ethnicity was not known.

Earlier this year, the former Home and Justice Secretary Jack Straw said that while offenders came from all backgrounds, there was a specific problem of young Pakistani men targeting white girls because they regarded them as "easy meat".

Peter Davies called for child protection agencies to do more to protect victims - and said that the UK needed more thorough and reliable research into what was going on.

"Focusing on the problem simply through the lens of ethnicity does not do it service," said Mr Davies....

"Asian" is British dhimmi media code for "Muslim." However, the racial breakdown of this study -- "white" and "Asian" -- obscures the possibility that white Muslims could have been involved in some of these cases, and ignores utterly the Islamic legal justification for sex slavery of unbelievers, which has the result of making this sort of exploitation of Infidel children more acceptable.

Three Things About Islam

Banned Islamic fanatic strolls through border controls

Raad Salah was excluded from the UK last week by Home Secretary Theresa May, on the grounds that he holds hard-line anti-semitic views.
But when the political firebrand travelled here at the weekend, border guards, who are supposed to check all passengers against watchlists of fanatics, failed to spot him or turn him away.

Officials face a race against time to stop him making a speech to MPs this week. Left-wing Labour MPs have invited him to give a talk on the Israel-Palestine conflict – an event the Government fears will be a major embarrassment.

Whitehall sources say the Home Secretary, who is determined to take a tough stand against extremists views, is furious at the blunder.

Earlier this month, she unveiled  the Prevent strategy which said ministers would no longer tolerate those who hold forth on views likely to foster hatred or division.

One possibility is that the UK BorderAgency failed to serve papers on Salah informing him that he had been excluded – effectively a travel ban designed to keep him out of the UK.

This could mean he did not know he wasn’t meant to travel. Alternatively, he may have used another name which officials failed to spot.

Either way, it is another massive blow to the reputation of UKBA, long derided as a shambles by MPs. Keeping out terror suspects and extremists on Government watch lists is one of its most vital jobs.

One source said: ‘This is a total disaster. It’s probably the first test of the new Prevent strategy  and UKBA has failed it spectacularly.’

Urgent legal advice is being sought by the Home Office to see on what grounds – if any – he can be prevented from speaking to MPs.

In 2008, Salah was charged with incitement to violence and racism by a Jerusalem court over a speech in which he invoked what is known as the ‘blood libel’ – a notorious anti-semitic slur.

In the speech, delivered in February 2007, he was said to have accused Jewish people of using children’s blood to bake bread. Afterwards, the 1,000 strong crowd began rioting.

Prosecutors said the speech amounted to ‘call to commit acts of violence and encouragement of acts of violence’ and anti-semitism.

Salah was released from prison in 2005, after serving two years for raising millions of pounds for Palestinian terror group Hamas and for having contact with an Iranian intelligence agent.

 He was again arrested in 2009 for incitement after calling on Palestinians to defend a holy site.

Mrs May was asked about the case yesterday in the Commons. Tory MP Mike Freer, who represents Finchley and Golders Green, in North London, asked her: ‘The Home Secretary will be aware that Mr Raad Salah has been invited to speak in the palace precincts.

 Given this man’s history of virulent anti-Semitism, will the Home Secretary ban him from entering the UK?’

On account of protocol, she replied: ‘The Home Office does not routinely comment on individual cases.

‘I will seek to exclude an individual if I consider that his or her presence in the UK is not conducive to the public good, and the Government make no apologies for refusing people access to the UK if we believe that they might seek to undermine our society.’


What a surprise! Now hate preacher cites his human rights to fight deportation

Milly Dowler killer Levi Bellfield trying to save skin in prison by turning to Islam

the serial killer has been reading religious material given to him by the fearsome Muslim Boys Gang, who protect anyone they convert.


 Bellfield, 43, had death threats and was put in the segregation unit in Belmarsh jail for his protection after he was convicted last week of killing Milly Dowler, 13.

A prison source said yesterday: “Previously he would hang around with ­notorious ­criminals but prisoners who have attacked ­children are hated in jail.

“Bellfield knows he is under threat and it is believed he is taking steps to protect himself. He has been seen chatting with key members of the Muslim Boys Gang. Before his latest trial he never associated with them.

“He’s been given Islamic ­material to read in his cell. But he will always be looking over his shoulder.”

Bellfield, also serving life for two other murders and one attempt, is to be transferred from the South-East London jail to HMP Wakefield, West Yorks, dubbed Monster Mansion.

Population in the UK will hit 70m even earlier than feared thanks to 'immigrant baby boom

Runaway migration will drive the UK population above 70million in 15 years – three years earlier than previously predicted.

In 2009 official estimates predicted it would take 20 years to reach this landmark level, a figure the Prime Minister has said the nation must not reach.

But the latest calculation suggests it could hit 70.4million in 2026, placing huge pressure on public services and housing.

The projection was compiled by the House of Commons library after questions by Tory MP James Clappison.

It assumes net migration - the difference between numbers arriving and leaving - remained around its current record level of 240,000 a year.

Immigration minister: Damian Green said: 'We are fixing a broken system'

Ministers pledged to cut it to the 'tens of thousands' by 2015.

Two-thirds of the population rise is due to immigration, including an 'immigrant baby boom' caused by higher-than-average birth rates among migrant mothers.

Commentators said the analysis shows the 'absolute necessity' of cutting the number of migrants coming here.

It shows the population, now thought to be around 62.8million, will rise to 65million in 2016, 67million in 2020 and 69million in 2024.

The vast majority of the population increase would be in England.

Today's figures show that even if net migration fell to an average of 180,000 a year, the population will hit 70million in 2029.

Immigration Minister Damian Green insisted net migration would fall to below 100,000 a year.

'We are fixing the broken immigration system.

'Our reforms will bring net migration down to the tens of thousands.'
