There are more than 1.8 million Pakistanis living in the UK per the 2021 census. This is the largest Pakistani community in Europe. The biggest communities are in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Bradford. The last one is known as “Little Pakistan” with more than 25% of the residents being Pakistani. So what does this enormous group bring with them? Other than takeaways food shops. Well, 84% of grooming gangs are of Pakistani origin. Pakistan still condones honour killings with 155 women killed this way in just 5 months last year. And then there are children being married to grown men. 4.6 million girls were married before the age of 15 and a recent court ruling confirmed that a marriage involving a girl is valid if she has reached puberty. Even though that could be at age 11. So this is the background of the people coming to the UK. More and more come every year through family reunification schemes. And we wonder why their values might be different to our own.

NEWS: Non-fatal strangulation in pornography will now be banned – after over a year laying amendments the Government has finally recognised it must act. Strangulation has been normalised due to this dangerous content, and too many girls and women are suffering and even losing their lives. The Government said a ban wasn’t necessary, and then whipped their MPs against banning this misogynistic practice, but what matters now is that everyone will be better protected as we end the normalisation of strangulation.

🇸🇩 In Sudan, more than 60% of the population is suffering from acute food shortages, with millions forced to eat leaves or animal feed to survive. According to the 2026 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan, 61.7% of the population, around 28.9 million people, are acutely food-insecure. Tens of millions in Sudan are living on just one meal a day as the crisis deepens. The war between the Muslim Brotherhood-linked Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, now entering its third year, has displaced millions and fueled one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises. Reports based on interviews with farmers, traders, and humanitarian workers describe how the war is pushing communities toward famine, driven by the collapse of agriculture and the use of starvation as a weapon, including the deliberate destruction of farms and markets. Aid systems are under severe strain. Communal kitchens are struggling to meet growing demand, while funding cuts are limiting the ability of humanitarian organizations to respond. Women and girls are among the most affected, facing heightened risks of violence and rapes when going to fields, markets, or even collecting water. After years of intense Gaza reporting, the international mainstream media is turning a blind eye to the suffering in Sudan. Why?
