Public anger over crime linked to asylum hotels is boiling over, with protests this summer from Essex to Scotland.In light of the rape of a schoolgirl by two Afghan asylum seekers in Leamington Spa, Camilla and Tim ask what's really driving this surge in migrant crime, and whether Britain's broken asylum system is now fuelling a security crisis.Plus, senior reporter Steve Bird has the inside story from the lawless migrant camps in Calais and Dunkirk: how ruthless people-smuggling gangs are coercing vulnerable female migrants into sexual exploitation, and recruiting others as drug mules.Read: People smugglers demand sex for Channel crossingsChannel migrants smuggling heroin for gangsWe want to hear from you!

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.theflyingfrisby.comBefore we come to the main thrust of today's piece, there is something I need to flag. We are just coming into North American tax loss selling season, and a number of you have asked if I will be putting together a portfolio of tax loss trades this year.The answer is, “maybe”.I'm not sure how well it will work this year for reasons you are about to find out, but it's something I am still considering, and I will I try to have a list of options for next week's missive. By my reckoning the dates when you'll find the biggest bargains this year will be Friday December 19, Monday December 22 and Tuesday December 23, though the window stretches from next week all the way to New Year's Eve.What am I talking about?At the end of the year in the US and Canada, investors (both retail and institutions) sell their worst performing stocks in order to realise losses to offset against gains elsewhere in order to reduce their tax bill.This selling tends to climax in the last two or three days of trading before Christmas and it means badly performing stocks, particularly illiquid ones, get way oversold only to experience something of a rally in the first few weeks of the following year as the selling dissipates.So the trade is simple: buy as the selling climaxes and then flip sometime in February (my Canadian broker says March and last year this proved very true).Nothing is guaranteed in this cruel world (except the further debasement of your national currency), but it is a trade with a remarkably successful hit rate, and a clear timescale. It also becomes apparent pretty quickly if it isn't working, enabling you to exit any losers early.If you live in a Third World Country such as the UK, I urge you to own gold or silver. The pound is going to be further devalued. The bullion dealer I recommend is The Pure Gold Company. Pricing is competitive, quality of service is high. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe or you can store your gold with them. More here.By all means go back and audit me, but last year I believe 8 of the 9 ideas worked.Some picks work better than others. Some years work better than others, but gains of 20-50%, even doubles sometimes, are not uncommon. The trade works particularly well in smallcap Canadian resource stocks, as, when they are bad, they are really bad, and can get hugely oversold. However, this year Canadian resource stocks, particularly gold and silver miners, have had a bonanza year, so there won't be much tax selling there. In fact, markets more generally have been strong, so there is not the normal flood of dogs to be sold. However, I have some ideas. Crypto Treasury Companies, for example, could be big winners because of the huge losses they have generated. So keep an eye out and I will try and have something for you this time next week. Be ready to move quickly, as well, so have some cash to play with.Right. Changing the subject. Why both legal and illegal immigration is set to increase I can't go online now without seeing something about uncontrolled immigration. Yesterday saw the sentencing of two Afghan 17 year olds for raping a 15-year-old girl in Leamington Spa. (Spoiler: they weren't 17. They've lied about their age, on that I'll bet the house. Not that anyone in authority will have noticed). And it's not just online, it's in the world around me. I live in south London, so I see it all the time. I travel a lot around the country doing gigs and the changing demographics of the UK are everywhere, even in the remotest parts of the country. I think a little bit of immigration is a good thing, but this is happening too fast and on too big a scale.When a business messes up badly, it goes bust and another, better run business comes along and does the job better. When a state body messes up badly, a load more money gets spent on an inquiry - in the case of the rape gangs £65 million - usually headed by a Blob insider (in this case Starmer appointed peer Baroness Anne Longfield). The mess gets whitewashed as much by time as anything, and the state body continues as before, dysfunctional as ever, if not more so.Unlike those operating in a free market, the state as it currently functions, is incapable of reacting to the new realities of the world around us. There are more people than ever before in the world, and more of them than ever are on the move. Thanks to better planes, trains, boats and cars, they are able to move further and faster than ever before. Thanks to smart phones, which over 90% of the world's adult population now has, better information about how and where to go gets spread. Smart phones also create FOMO - you gaze at the life you could have - so there is more desire to move than ever before. And the fact that 3 billion people earn less than $40/day means there is a greater urge to move than ever. This is the reality of the world in which we live. It is patently obvious mass migration of people is going to increase. And yet the British government, nor most Western governments, have no plan in place to deal with it all. They can't even deal with current levels of migration, let alone illegal migration or future migration. There has been no debate or agreement on what the right levels of migration should actually be. With no clarity, policy is, inevitably, both incoherent and inadequate. Promises by every government since Cameron's coalition have been broken. The courts and legal system were designed for a different people in a different age and are no longer fit for purpose. This all assumes, of course, government could actually lower migration levels if it wanted, which I don't believe it actually can because of sheer weight of numbers. Thanks to the ECHR and a general unwillingness within the Blob to address this, there is not even the ability to properly tackle this issue anyway. State institutions and infrastructure - from roads to health to education to welfare - cannot cope with the increased numbers and are crumbling. Wealth creators are leaving to be replaced by net takers, resulting in an increased tax burden and eventual likely bankruptcy of the country. Trust has gone and we are accelerating along the road to ruin.Such repeated failure by a business over many years would result in the extinction of that business. But the state operates by a different set of rules, and the only thing that can end it is the destruction of the currency itself. Hence why I say own gold.So that's where we are. Exploiting the end of Britain: blood money and crony capitalism You can rant and rail and make a noise. But I don't see what you or anyone can actually do about it. A Reform majority at the next election is what many are pinning their hopes on, but a hung parliament looks more likely. Would even a runaway win for Reform at the next election change much? I doubt it, myself. There's too much opposition within the system. Liz Truss only tried to slash government spending by 2.5% and look what happened there. As investors our job is not to pass moral judgement on the rights and wrongs of all this. Many think it's a good thing the West gets destroyed! Our job is to navigate the waters as best we can. As you know I urge readers to own non- government currencies, money they can't debase - gold and bitcoin. But having just said our job is not to pass moral judgement, I do pass moral judgement when I invest. I shouldn't, but I do. I don't buy government bonds, especially gilts, for example, because in doing so you enable government, when government is the problem. Starve the monster is my take. I'm also not participating in the trade I am about to outline here, because it would make me feel dirty. But the more ruthless of you will be fine with it, and you'll get no flack from me. I hate getting ripped off at airports and train stations, so I have a bit of WH Smith in my portfolio as an offset. This is a little bit like that.There are companies making an absolute fortune from illegal migration. And while this situation continues, they are going to continue making money. Why shouldn't you as well?Their customer, the government, is a bureaucrat spending somebody else's money so will pay pretty much whatever. Demand for their services is only going to increase as migration increases. There is no competitive marketplace - you're not having to compete with other hotels, for example. These companies are all paid by the government - you in other words - to provide facilities for asylum seekers. The contracts are juicy, and those bureaucrat fingers are fat with taxpayer cash. Here's how to profit from illegal migration in the UK.

In our Christmas message from Leamington Spa, The Miracle of Christmas, Benj explores why Christmas is a season that awakens our longing for miracles - and shows us the greatest miracle of all. Through stories, and Scripture from Luke 1, he reflects on everyday miracles, the wonder of childbirth, and the astonishing births of both John the Baptist and Jesus. Benj highlights the angel Gabriel's declaration that “nothing…is impossible with God,” revealing that beyond snow-day coincidences or heart-warming movie moments, the true miracle of Christmas is that Jesus (God with us) came so we could be born again into new life.

Two 17-year-old Afghan asylum seekers are jailed for abducting and raping a 15-year-old girl in Leamington Spa. Distressing phone footage captured the attack, with lawyers warning public release could spark disorder. Jahanzeb gets 10 years and Niazal gets 9 years. The judge says they robbed her of her childhood and recommends deportation. Reporting restrictions on their identities are lifted. Julia Hartley-Brewer chat to editor of Spiked Online, Tom Slater.

This episode comes to you live from a Premier Inn room in Stevenage. That's showbusiness! Our guest is Steve Hill, sports writer, roadie, and miserable but funny man.

Nearly a quarter said they're more confident than ever about the health of their business, while one in five said they are worried or extremely worried about the future of their business…Nearly half said they expected the market to get better before the end of the year, but 15% still say they think the market will get worse in 2025.So what's going on?Joining Andy today were top retailers, and friends of the show Trevor Scott from RFK in Rugby; Tina Riley from Modern Homes in Leamington Spa; Luke Wedgbury from Coalville Kitchens in Coalville and Liz Pantling-Jones from Lima Kitchens in Milton Keynes.We're talking....How their business is right nowHow increases in supplier prices are affecting their businessWhether supplier service levels have dropped as they manage their own costsHow consumers are behaving and whether they're decision making process continues to dragHow difficult it is to find good staff - including installersHow they're tackling the market head on to drive footfall and leads Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to The kbbreview Podcast, your host is Andy Davies and this is Episode 9 of Season 14.And we've been really looking forward to this episode, as we're catching up with our Adopted Retailers. In the magazine every month, we've been following the fortunes of three kbb retailers with three very different backgrounds, experiences and plans for the future. We last spoke to them here on the podcast back at the start of November - you can listen to that here - and six months later we're here to see how they're getting on.So we have Amanda Raine from The Leamington Kitchen Company in Leamington Spa. She and her husband Tom opened their dream showroom a year or so ago after leaving corporate jobs in construction and marketing.Then we have Joe Kardani from Point 5 Kitchens in London. They're a well-established retailer in Muswell Hill but they're opening a second showroom in nearby Belsize Park.And last but by no means least is Olivia Weaver from Harrison James in Shropshire. Only in their mid-20s she and husband Harry, are just about to open their first showroom after expanding their installation business into retail. So, kbbreview's George Dean caught up with them last week to see how they're all getting on. All this is made possible by our Adopted Retailer Partner Alku, the exciting new range of Kitchen, Bedroom and Lifestyle furniture, created with the designer in mind. We're delighted to have them on board for this and you can actually find out more about them in a bonus episode coming out tomorrow where Andy talking to marketing director Dan Hughes.In the meantime, everything you need to know about them, including how to become a dealer, is at alku.co.uk.

Dr David Marlin took the opportunity to catch up with his old friend and colleague, farrier Ben Benson, at the annual Acpat seminar at Leamington Spa in October 2024.Ben Benson AWCF Farrier presented at the conference 'The Farrier's role in influencing equine posture and injury prevention'.They discuss the role of the farrier and how they can work with other professionals to determine the best course of action for any horse - given their unique perspective. How can a horse owner/rider get all these experts working together.Why is the farrier industry in decline, and what are the problems, causes and concerns for the industry? And what are the price differences between shoeing a horse in the UK and abroad? Farriers are being forced to shoe high numbers in the UK, and this is having a detrimental effect on their bodies, and they are struggling to make ends meet. They even discuss barefoot and why this topic is so divisive, and really it should be about welfare and what is best for the horse at that point in their life given; breed, age, condition, care, sport and whether it actually benefits them or not!You'll be able to watch the interview video here on Animalweb or listen to the podcast. -----------------------------------------To find out more about becoming a member >>> AskAnimalweb.comNot a Member?

This episode of A Class of Their Own is one you won't want to miss. We sit down with Santanna Oush, the DJ and in her own words the most motivational person in the room. Santanna's story is a rollercoaster of resilience, creativity, and bold self-expression. This episode will have you curious and wondering where we will go next. Buckle up, because this conversation will take you from the humble beginnings selling potatoes out of a blue van to lighting up stages at 14 – all while navigating the complexities of foster care, sexism in the music industry, and an inner journey to balance darkness and light. Santanna opens up about her early years growing up in foster care. It wasn't easy, there were moments of heartbreak, like watching her mother suffer and being unable to help, how she was one of the lucky one to get professional foster parents like Sue and John who provided her with the safety and space to thrive. We dive deep into how these experiences shaped her, revealing that it wasn't just a tough upbringing; it was also where she learned resilience, hope, and self-reliance. And then there's the music. From a young age, Santanna had a natural ear for sound, turning heads at her first gig in Leamington Spa when she was only 14. But the road to becoming a full-time DJ wasn't as smooth as the beats she drops today. She sold potatoes, BIC pens, insurance, sky dishes - I think she could probably sell ice to eskimos. Picture this: Friday night after her day finished at a business magazine the scenes were like The Wolf of Wall Street, fast-paced, chaotic, and sometimes teetering on the edge of control. She was living for the evenings, that was her survival and yet she had to navigate her family's history of addiction, something she's always conscious of, even today in an industry known for its temptations DJing. Today, she unapologetically owns her space in a male-dominated DJ industry. She has founded OUSHE, giving female DJs a platform to DJ in some of the top bars and clubs. She has a regular residency at Pikes in Ibiza, where she elevates upand coming DJs. But it's not just DJing for Santanna, this is the first time she's shares her voice and story. She's actually really shy. Santanna openly shares all of who she is from love, relationships and and her s**ual orientation. She refuses to be put in a box. What will you gain from listening? Expect a candid, unfiltered conversation that touches on themes of resilience, overcoming adversity, and following your passion. Whether you're in the music industry or simply looking for inspiration to push past life's obstacles, Santanna's story is a refreshing reminder that success comes from embracing every part of your journey, accepting the difficult bits and loving yourself and others around you. Why should you listen? If you want to hear about the highs and lows of making it in the DJ industry, staying grounded in a world of temptations, and learning how to embrace both your inner darkness and light, then hit play now. Santanna Oush is living proof that you don't have to fit into anyone's box to make your mark on the world. Santanna #YouAreAClassOfYourOwn. Oush.

What should you say to a friend who has cancer? If you're the one with the diagnosis, how do you tell your kids? And is it really possible to futureproof your body against illness? Answering all these questions is the brilliant Rosamund Dean. She tells us about her journey from finding a lump in her boob to being cancer free, and what she wishes she'd known at the beginning. We discuss clipboard people versus duvet people, and whether early menopause is more like pick'n'mix or a Glastonbury toilet. Rosamund explains how having cancer has affected her perspective, and reveals the biggest change she's made to her lifestyle. Yes, it's a serious subject, but we still manage to have some laughs along the way. And of course we finish with some Scummy Mummy Confessions - this time involving Baileys, sweat, glitter, and lying to children. Rosamund's book is a great read whether you have cancer, you're supporting someone through treatment, or you're interested in looking after your health. Reconstruction is out now.

It's hard to believe it's been a whole decade since we sat down on Ellie's sofa to record the first episode of the Scummy Mummies Podcast. But here we are, having survived premature childbirth, a shitty divorce and a global pandemic, still on the sofa, and better friends than ever. In this special anniversary episode, we reminisce about the good old days, and reflect on whether we should be grateful for the bad times too. We tackle some tricky questions - how bad do the catsuits REALLY smell? What's better to make with lemons than lemonade? And how much longer do we actually think we can get away with this bullshit?
