Among 17,000 Channel migrants who have arrived illegally on our shores this year (50 per cent higher than a year ago) young white girls will be praying there is not another Sadeq Nikzad among them.
Nikzad, 29, is an Afghan who came by small boat two years ago and sought asylum. A court was told how he approached a 15-year-old schoolgirl in the town centre of Falkirk, Scotland, asked for her phone number and if she had a boyfriend.
He made sexual remarks towards the underage youngster before leading her to the rear of a pub where he attacked and raped her. Later, the poor girl was found in a daze by a passer-by.
In a ludicrous defence by Nikzad, his defence counsel Janice Green, said he had not been educated about the significant ‘’cultural differences’’ between the UK and Afghanistan. What did she mean? Do Afghani men normally rape 15-year-olds they meet in the street at will?
The judge took no notice of his defence and jailed him for nine years, after which he will be deported. But will Afghanistan take him back? I have my doubts. And the reason is that Pakistan is refusing to take back the ringleaders of the Rochdale child grooming scandal because they pulled the stunt of renouncing their citizenship.
The two pigs, Qari Abdul Rauf, a 55-year-old father of five and Adil Khan,54, were jailed in 2012 for heading a nine-strong gang of rapists who sexually assaulted 47 young white girls – some only 12-after plying them with drink and drugs over a two-year period in Rochdale.
The pair lost their appeals against deportation in 2018 but remain here some seven years later after tearing up their passports.
I see that Pakistan officials have told The Telegraph it would be ‘’extremely difficult’’ to take back such dangerous criminals, as there was no basis to accept them as they renounced their citizenship. That is cobblers as the dumping of their passports was simply a device.

However, the Pakistanis had suggested that if the UK engaged in negotiations ‘’progress could be made’’.
What they meant if its national airline, the PIA, which had been suspended for years for safety reasons, is allowed to land here again, a deal could be done.
We should tell Pakistan that if they won’t accept their people back, we will simply put a parachute on them and drop them over Islamabad and leave it to them if they pull the ripcord or not. Personally, I hope they don’t.
The reality is that Starmer has lost control of the Channel crisis. He loves wandering around the world giving his views on tariffs, the Israel-Iran war, but not a peep about the issue which enrages the nation: the Channel migrants.
He said he would smash the gangs. Nothing of the sort has happened. I am grateful to today’s Times, which shows they are one jump ahead of Starmer (that’s the easy part) but comfortably ahead of the more aggressive French police as they now drive a car onto the beach with a dinghy strapped to the roof.
The dinghy is swiftly taken off the roof and launched into the sea. In a sign of how lucrative the trade is, smugglers even abandoned the Volvo on the beach.
Due to the weather, the numbers arriving this week will be a record. No.10 knows it, and the nation knows it, but nothing will be done about it.
And I fear that means there will be more attacks on our young girls by these migrants who apparently don’t understand our ‘’cultural differences’’.
