The Mail on Sunday found 708 charges based on only a third of those hotels. Those crimes included multiple cases of rape, sexual assault, violence, theft and arson. An illegal immigrant in Oxford has been convicted of raping a 20-year-old woman in a churchyard.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Mr Philp concluded: \u2018A Sudanese man was convicted of strangling and attempting to rape a woman in a nightclub toilet in Wakefield.\u2019<\/p>\n<h2>Alkali attacker was convicted criminal<\/h2>\n<p>He concentrated on asylum hotels, but Mr Philp could have mentioned migrant <a title=\"Opens in a new tab or window\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/uk-68167793\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Abdul Shokor Ezedi<\/b><\/a>, who perpetrated a horrific alkali attack on a young mother and her three-year-old daughter in south London last year.

The figures reported by national newspapers show hundreds of charges in just a few months.<\/p>\n<p>It is small wonder that ordinary people are furious. Yet the Government proposes merely to shift migrants from hotels to houses of multiple occupation, and to arrange a \u201cone-in-one-out\u201d deal with France. The Apostle Peter reinforced Paul&#8217;s statement of the duties of rulers to punish evildoers:<\/p>\n<p><b>1 Peter 2:13-14 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord&#8217;s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme. Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2>A Nation at the Crossroads<\/h2>\n<p>We are faced with two starkly different visions. Sir Keir Starmer sets his hopes on human rights conventions, multiculturalism and globalism.<\/p>\n<p>Nigel Farage proposes deportation and the tearing up of seventy-year-old treaties. Yet even he must overcome the resistance of the civil service, the courts, and the entrenched establishment.<\/p>\n<p>In truth, only God can protect this nation. The psalmist encourages us: <b>Psalm 46:1,7 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>If our leaders trust him, the Lord will guard the land: <b>Zech 9:8; And I will encamp about mine house because of the army, because of him that passeth by, and because of him that returneth: and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with mine eyes.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Psalm 127:1 Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Islamic influx may in fact be seen as God\u2019s judgment on a nation that has turned away from him. Only repentance and the raising up of God-fearing men will restore our people.<\/p>\n<h2>Our Call to Prayer<\/h2>\n<p>Britain needs leaders of courage and faith, men willing to confess Christ, proclaim our Christian constitution, and govern with honesty and humility. Government \u201cof the elite, by the elite, for the elite\u201d as currently practised in our land must give way to government under God, for the benefit of the people.<\/p>\n<p>So let us pray that the Lord will have mercy on us, raise up men of God to lead, and turn the tide. Let us resist violence and keep protest at the ballot box.<\/p>\n<p>And let us remember that our hope is not in treaties, nor in politicians, but in Christ the King.<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"font-size: 18px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #ffff00; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; border-radius: 9px; background-color: #00843d; border-top: 9px solid #00843D; border-bottom: 9px solid #00843D; border-right: 18px solid #00843D; border-left: 18px solid #00843D; display: inline-block;\" title=\"Opens in a new tab\" href=\"https:\/\/members.parliament.uk\/members\/commons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Use this UK Parliament link to email your MP \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Related articles<\/h2>\n<p><a style=\"font-size: 18px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; border-radius: 9px; background-color: #ffff00; border-top: 9px solid #FFFF00; border-bottom: 9px solid #FFFF00; border-right: 18px solid #FFFF00; border-left: 18px solid #FFFF00; display: inline-block;\" title=\"Opens in a new tab\" href=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/index.php\/city-bans-muslim-festivals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">City bans Muslim festivals \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"font-size: 18px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; border-radius: 9px; background-color: #ffff00; border-top: 9px solid #FFFF00; border-bottom: 9px solid #FFFF00; border-right: 18px solid #FFFF00; border-left: 18px solid #FFFF00; display: inline-block;\" title=\"Opens in a new tab\" href=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/index.php\/london-bombings-two-decades-since-7-7\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">London Bombings: Two Decades Since 7\/7 \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"font-size: 18px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; border-radius: 9px; background-color: #ffff00; border-top: 9px solid #FFFF00; border-bottom: 9px solid #FFFF00; border-right: 18px solid #FFFF00; border-left: 18px solid #FFFF00; display: inline-block;\" title=\"Opens in a new tab\" href=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/index.php\/pussy-riot-jailed-as-moscow-bans-gay-parades\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Immigration: Welfare without wisdom \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"font-size: 18px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; border-radius: 9px; background-color: #ffff00; border-top: 9px solid #FFFF00; border-bottom: 9px solid #FFFF00; border-right: 18px solid #FFFF00; border-left: 18px solid #FFFF00; display: inline-block;\" title=\"Opens in a new tab\" href=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/index.php\/oppose-islamophobia-definition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oppose \u2018Islamophobia\u2019 Definition \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"font-size: 18px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; border-radius: 9px; background-color: #ffff00; border-top: 9px solid #FFFF00; border-bottom: 9px solid #FFFF00; border-right: 18px solid #FFFF00; border-left: 18px solid #FFFF00; display: inline-block;\" title=\"Opens in a new tab\" href=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/index.php\/southport-killer-was-a-terrorist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Southport killer WAS a terrorist \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"font-size: 18px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; border-radius: 9px; background-color: #ffff00; border-top: 9px solid #FFFF00; border-bottom: 9px solid #FFFF00; border-right: 18px solid #FFFF00; border-left: 18px solid #FFFF00; display: inline-block;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/index.php\/immigration-uk\/\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cImmigration Increases Strain in Britain&#8217;s EU Membership \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"font-size: 18px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; border-radius: 9px; background-color: #ffff00; border-top: 9px solid #FFFF00; border-bottom: 9px solid #FFFF00; border-right: 18px solid #FFFF00; border-left: 18px solid #FFFF00; display: inline-block;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/index.php\/moscow-crocus-attack-demands-peace-in-ukraine\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Moscow Crocus attack demands peace with<br \/>\nUkraine and action against Islamic State \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Support us!<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>We appreciate your support; it enables our research and helps us inform your prayers.
