A frenzied knife attack on three people in a quiet suburban street in Uxbridge, resulting in the death of one victim and another sustaining life-threatening injuries, has horrified Britain.
The dead man, Wayne Broadhurst, a popular 49-year old local council worker, was walking his dog when the knifeman struck. The second man is now stable in hospital. A 14-year-old boy was also stabbed, but fortunately his injuries are less serious.
We could also throw in the cold blooded murder of a restaurant owner in a Lloyds Bank branch in Derby, and the notorious runaway Ethiopian illegal migrant convicted of the sexual assault of a 14-year old girl in Essex and incredibly paid £500 to board a deportation plane back home.
All of these horrible crimes were ripped from the headlines over the past few days, merely the latest in a burgeoning catalogue of murders, rapes and sexual assaults committed – allegedly or otherwise – by asylum seekers and illegal immigrants.
The man arrested and charged for the Uxbridge attack is a 22-year old Afghan, who arrived in the back of a lorry five years ago and was subsequently granted asylum.
The others came more recently and arguably have no right to be here.
Taken in no particular order, the violent criminal, Haybe Cabdiraxmaan Nur, who plunged a knife into the chest of restaurateur Gurvinder Singh Johal, a father of three, was a Somalian national known to police in four other European countries before he entered the UK.
In Italy, he was given a one-year suspended sentence in May 2023 for robbery and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

His asylum application had been rejected and last December he was arrested, but never charged, for violence and public order offences.
Yet for inexplicable reasons, he hadn’t been deported.
Nur has made no secret of his intention to kill, but although Derby police were alerted on the fatal day, they arrived too late to stop him. They have now referred themselves to the independent complaints authority. So that’s all right then.
One man who was finally kicked out yesterday was Hadush Kebatu, the Ethiopian migrant jailed after sexually assaulting a teenage girl in Epping, just eight days after arriving in Britain, and then released early because of a bureaucratic cock-up.
But even this simple task descended into farce when Kebatu threatened to disrupt his flight to Ethopia. Despite being accompanied by five immigration officers, it was decided the only way to persuade him to leave was to bung him £500 from the poor box. Who said crime doesn’t pay?

If he threatened to turn violent, they should have strapped him into a straitjacket, stuck a ball gag in his mouth to stop him biting anyone, and chained him to his seat. But that would probably have violated his yuman rites, so was obviously a non-starter. However, had it not been for the embarrassing publicity surrounding his release, and he’d served his full sentence, he would probably have been allowed to stay here indefinitely.
A recent investigation by the Sun newspaper discovered that in the first six months of this year alone 339 cases brought before magistrates – including sexual assault, GBH, ABH, and possession of knives and firearms – all involved foreign nationals living in asylum hotels.
This figure is thought to be an underestimate since the Home Office says it doesn’t know how many crimes are committed by migrants and the police refuse to release details of nationality and asylum status.
Migration Watch, an impeccably-reliable organisation, has been recording criminal acts perpetrated by asylum seekers over several years. These include the murder of a seven-year old girl in Bolton by a female asylum seeker; a triple stabbing in a park in Reading by a Libyan granted leave to remain despite a string of convictions; and a Somalian double rapist allowed to stay because a judge ruled that to send him home would imperil his Mental Elf.

There’s not room to detail all the abuses of the system here. But this list also extends to one of the London Bridge terrorists, the asylum fraudster who blew himself up outside a hospital in Liverpool, and the illegal Moroccan migrant who stabbed a man to death in Hartlepool.
Almost daily, fresh abuses come to light and the courts continue to indulge just about anyone who arrives here with a sob story, most of which can never be verified so they’re always given the benefit of the doubt. Since Labour took office, 50,000 migrants have entered Britain illegally after crossing the Channel on small boats. The vast majority are young men of fighting age with no means of formal identification, many of them pretending to be children.
Only last week we learned that a judge had accepted one man’s claim to be 16, even though he had balding grey hair and a well-developed muscular physique. You couldn’t, etc.
Yet what else should we expect when ministers show no particular inclination to tackle the problem. Surkeir’s first act was to scrap the Tories’, admittedly imperfect, Rwanda deterrent.
And at the height of this summer’s hotel protests, three judges sitting in the Court of Appeal, including a Left-wing alumnus of Cherie Blair’s Matrix Chambers, agreed with the Home Office that our duty to illegals and our obligation to comply with international laws meant the yuman rites of migrants were paramount over those of British citizens.
When Nigel Farage attempted to introduce a bill in the Commons yesterday withdrawing Britain from the pernicious European rights court, which is at the heart of the problem, the government benches were deserted and he was heckled pathetically by the Lib Dems and the Greens.
As far as most of the political class are concerned, the interests of the British people are irrelevant compared to their own self-important virtue-signalling obligation to illegal immigrants, however dangerous, about whom we often know nothing. Which is how we end up giving board and lodgings to violent criminals who commit the most heinous crimes in our green and pleasant.
Yes, as the far-Left asylum apologists insist on pointing out, we have plenty of home-grown killers and rapists of our own. But that’s no excuse for importing even more from overseas.
The Home Office has been forced to admit reluctantly that up to 23 per cent of those convicted of sex crimes in England and Wales are foreign nationals. Where are they going to live when they are released?
The government says that 900 small boat arrivals will be billetted in former army barracks. Believe that when it happens. And hotels will be closed with asylum seekers dispersed to HMOs – houses in multiple occupation.
As I remarked when that scheme was announced: In other words, to a residential street near you. One minute you’ll be sitting in Mon Repose in Acacia Avenue, the next you’ll find yourself living next door to a dozen young men from goodness-knows-where crammed into what used to be a three-bed semi. I bet you’re feeling safer already.
We can only hope that this week will prove to be a tipping point. But I wouldn’t hold your breath.
Politicians will wring their hands, the public are outraged, yet nothing much will happen.
Until we are free of the ECHR, and there is a wholesale clear-out of our politically-motivated asylum judges, the small boat illegal migrants will keep on coming and the courts will keep on granting them indefinite leave to remain. Meanwhile, the safety of the British people will continue to come a distant second to the ‘rights’ of immigrant stowaways such as the crazed Somali killer Haybe Cabdiraxmaan Nur.
And the death toll and number of crimes committed by asylum seekers who shouldn’t even be here will go on climbing inexorably.
