The Home Office in the United Kingdom is now handing asylum seekers a nine-page booklet and posters spelling out that rape is illegal, sex with children is a crime, women are equal to men, and you cannot mutilate girls’ genitals.
Yes, really. This is how bad it’s gotten.
Britain’s borders have become so porous that the state feels obliged to tutor new arrivals in the most basic rules of civilised society.
Officials openly acknowledge that “laws and customs here may be different from your home country.” The document, published this week, is the clearest admission yet that large numbers of those arriving do not share the fundamental values that keep women and children safe.
GB News presenter Martin Daubney reacted with visible shock: “It’s very rare a story comes in that completely takes my breath away, but this is it.”
The guide, titled Understanding Behaviours and Expectations in the UK: A Guide for Asylum Seekers, is available on the government website and is being distributed to new arrivals.
A section on sex and consent states: “In the UK, the law is clear and strict: both people must agree to sex or sexual contact of any kind.”
It continues: “Never try to have sex with someone who is asleep, drunk, or unable to consent clearly.”
Rape is described as a serious crime that can lead to prison, loss of support and accommodation, and damage to an asylum claim.
The booklet also states “The legal age of consent in the UK is 16. This means that anyone under the age of 16 is considered a child and cannot legally agree to have sex. Sex with someone under the age of 16 is a serious crime in the UK. There are no exceptions to this rule. Even if they say yes, it is still illegal.”
Gender equality is explained in similarly elementary terms. Women “do not need permission from a husband, father, brother or any other man” to work, study, travel or make decisions. Domestic abuse is illegal. Public behaviour rules ban whistling, kissing noises, sexual comments “even if you think it is a compliment,” following people or blocking their path.
Reform UK’s Zia Yusuf called the publication a disgrace, saying the government had produced “a handy guide for illegal migrants on how not to be a rapist, not to be a paedophile, how not to beat women and how to leave babies alone.”
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said the priority should be deportation rather than “trying to train these mainly young, male illegal immigrants [to] behave in a civilised way towards women.”
Patrick Christys noted the obvious contradiction: the Home Office knows the risk is high enough to require explicit warnings about rape, child sex and genital mutilation, yet continues to place large numbers of these arrivals in communities across the country.
Meanwhile, the welfare bill for foreign nationals keeps climbing. Almost 1.3 million migrants were claiming Universal Credit in May 2026, up around 20,000 on the previous year.
Centre for Migration Control analysis shows the number of refugees on Universal Credit jumped 44 per cent in twelve months, from 90,709 to 130,618.
ONS data suggests a further 623,000 are claiming other benefit combinations, bringing the total close to two million migrants on benefits.
Rob Bates of the Centre for Migration Control pointed to the Channel crisis and the drive to clear the asylum backlog as key drivers of the refugee rise.
Out-of-work foreign claimants have also increased sharply. Taxpayers are funding this at a time when the overall Universal Credit caseload has hit a record 8.4 million.
Separately, the Home Office is accelerating plans to reopen and expand Haslar Immigration Detention Centre on the Gosport seafront in Hampshire.
The site, closed a decade ago, is set to become one of Europe’s largest, with capacity for 600 foreign criminals and illegal migrants.
Ministers have designated the project of “national importance” under the Crown Development process, taking decisions out of local hands.
Gosport Borough Council leader Zoe Huggins accused the government of fearing scrutiny and demanded an open process and a community liaison panel.
Local MP Dame Caroline Dinenage said the approach removes decision-making from residents and hands it to Whitehall.
The Home Office insists the expansion is necessary to remove more than 45,000 additional foreign offenders over the next decade and makes “no apology” for increasing detention capacity.
The pattern is consistent. Officials acknowledge cultural incompatibility serious enough to require explicit instructions against rape and child abuse.
They record hundreds of thousands more foreign claimants on benefits.
They expand detention capacity while still allowing large-scale arrivals.
Leaflets will not change the fundamental problem of who is being allowed in and allowed to stay.
