UK gov’t posters tell refugees not to commit rape, abuse kids

(LifeSiteNews) — The UK government released materials targeted to asylum-seekers explaining that they can’t rape people or abuse kids.

“The Home Office has spent your money to produce these posters for illegal migrants. Why are we letting these people into our country?” Member of Parliament and Leader of Reform UK Nigel Farage wrote in an X post on Wednesday while reposting images of posters meant to inform asylum-seekers about UK law.

“Child abuse is a serious crime in the UK,” one poster reads. It goes on to warn against specific crimes against children, including physically hurting a child or having sexual contact with a child under 16.

Another poster says, “In the UK, both people must say ‘yes’ to sex. This is called consent.” It goes on to warn that rape is still a crime if committed within a marriage.

A UK guide for asylum-seekers was published online informing illegal immigrants about the country’s “expectations” for their behavior and advising them that they could lose their asylum claim if they perpetrate any of the cited crimes.

“In the UK, there are laws that protect everyone’s safety, dignity and rights. It is important that you understand them because not following UK law can have serious consequences. You could get in trouble with the police, lose your asylum support, or it could affect your asylum claim,” the guide states. “This booklet will help you understand what is expected of you when living in the UK.”

The guide also advises asylum-seekers that domestic abuse is a serious crime, that men and women have equal rights in the UK, and that they are expected to respect others in public. 

Commentators widely see the materials as an admission by the UK government that illegal immigrant rapists and child abusers have run wild in the country. One of the most publicized and egregious examples of this phenomenon is known as the Rotherham scandal in which an estimated 1,400 girls in the town of Rotherham, England, were sexually abused by gangs of men, mostly of Pakistani origin, between 1997 and 2013. 

The 2025 Lowe Report found that a much greater number — at least 250,000 white British girls — have been groomed, raped, exploited by primarily Pakistani groomers throughout Great Britain, until recently.

Zia Yusuf, Reform UK’s spokesperson for home affairs, called the materials “one of the most insane things I have ever seen.”

“Now there’s endless propaganda from the government that actually these 200,000 people who have turned up on our beaches illegally over the last eight years from countries like Afghanistan don’t pose any meaningful threat to women and girls,” Yusuf noted.

“We know that that is not true. And when Nigel Farage and other Reform figures have pointed out the threats that they pose to British women and girls, they are howled and shouted at by the political establishment,” he said.

“Well, this disgrace,” said Yusuf, pointing to the booklet, “shows you exactly what the government knows. They know that they are a menace, and they are living in taxpayer-funded hotels. You are paying for their living costs.”

Yusuf went on to call for all illegal migrants to be detained and deported.

“Reform (UK) will put the Navy in the channel to maintain a hard perimeter with clear orders, ‘Do not allow a single unauthorized vessel to reach our shores,’” Yusuf pledged on the condition that Reform UK steers government policy. “And every illegal migrant that the Tories and Labour allowed into this country will be detained and deported.”
