‘Pedos Out’ Protest Held by UK Locals After Migrant Arrested over Alleged Child Rape:
NUNEATON, England — Police escorted ‘Stand Up to Racism’ activists away from a protest against migrant child rape to jeers of “pedos out” by locals in Warwickshire, England, on Saturday.
Up to a thousand local Nuneaton residents, including many women and young families, gathered outside its historic town hall on Saturday in protest over migrant crime and what is claimed to have been an attempted official cover-up.
The ‘Nuneaton Says No’ protest was called after it emerged last week that two Afghan migrant males, at least one of whom reportedly entered the United Kingdom illegally by small boat, had been arrested over the alleged rape of a 12-year-old girl in the town.
Gathering walking distance from Cheverel Street, where the child rape is alleged to have taken place last month, speakers addressed the crowd and attendees carried placards bearing messages including “stand up for women and girls”, “what about our girls’ human rights to safety”, and “asylum seeking pedos out”.
Nuneaton is considered to be a ‘bellwether’ of British politics, and the way the town votes has generally reflected nationwide swings this century. While the UK had a Tory government, Nuneaton had a Conservative Member of Parliament. Now Labour are in charge, it has a Labour MP.
The town’s pro-Brexit result early in the night of the 2016 referendum count was seen as the first clear indication Britain had actually voted to leave the European Union. And earlier this year, there was a Reform Party “tsunami” which saw Farage-backed candidates sweep the Nuneaton local elections.
That protests focusing on migrant crime and border control have now reached Nuneaton is an increasingly clear sign of wider feeling in the country at large. --->READ MORE HERE
Hundreds join anti-immigration protest in Nuneaton:
Hundreds of people have joined an anti-immigration protest outside Nuneaton Town Hall.
The demonstration, which included a march through the town centre with people waving flags and chanting, was one of several in a wave of action across England on Saturday.
Earlier this week, Warwickshire County Council leader George Finch said two men who had been charged with raping a 12-year-old girl in the town were asylum seekers, which the BBC has been unable to verify independently.
Warwickshire Police confirmed a 17-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of making threats to cause criminal damage during the protest, but added the event had been mostly peaceful.
The group gathered outside the town hall at 13:00 BST and chanted anti-government messages while flying the England flag, the union jack and home-made signs.
Warwickshire Police were present at the demonstration and were seen engaging with a small number of protesters.
A small group of counter protesters also attended but were moved on when they appeared to be surrounded by the larger group.
The force said the protesters had dispersed by about 15:30 BST.
"Thank you to all who worked with us to exercise their democratic right to protest in a way that was peaceful and lawful today," a spokesperson said. --->READ MORE HERE
