A 15-year-old girl was raped in Droylsden, Manchester, in the early hours of Saturday. Police are looking for two men who picked her up at the Crownpoint shopping park and then drove her to Lumb Lane where the attack happened.
Both men are described as Asian, about 5 feet 10 inches tall, with local accents. Police are asking any witnesses to come forward.

POLICE are looking for a man who approached two children in a park at about 5.30pm on Monday.
He told the two primary school pupils, who were playing near the swings on the Recreation Ground in Stamford, that he was a “parental advisor”.
The man, described as Asian and in his early 20s, also asked the children when their parents were picking them up. The youngsters became suspicious and told their parents about the man when they got home.
Police are currently trying to identify him from CCTV footage taken at the time. He was wearing a white long-sleeved shirt and a had rucksack.
Sector inspector for Stamford, Bourne and the Deepings, Mike Burnett, said: “This is a cause for concern. Children who are approached by suspicious people should not engage them in conversation but should tell a parent or guardian immediately.”
Anyone with information should call police on 101.

Abu Qatada is launching a fresh bid for freedom at the High Court.
The radical preacher will tomorrow ask two judges for permission to challenge his ongoing detention by Home Secretary Theresa May.
The Special Immigration Appeals Commission (Siac) ruled two months ago his detention was lawful.
Leaving him free during heightened security for the 2012 Olympics would be “exceptionally problematic”, a judge said.
Lawyers for Qatada, referred to in legal documents as Omar Mahmoud Othman, are expected to argue that the Home Secretary and Siac are acting unlawfully.
The lawyers are applying for permission to seek judicial review and a writ of habeas corpus freeing him from custody while he fights deportation to Jordan.
His last appeal to the European Court of Human Rights over his removal failed on May 9.
Qatada, who is said to have wide and high-level support among Islamic extremists, was convicted in his absence in Jordan of involvement with terror attacks in 1998 and faces a retrial in his home country.
Mrs May restarted deportation proceedings in April after she received assurances from the Jordanian authorities that evidence obtained by torture would not be used against him.
His legal team say they will take the battle back to the European courts if Siac rules against him at a tribunal hearing fixed for October.
Qatada, who is accused of involvement in several bomb attacks, is being held at high-security Long Lartin Prison in Worcestershire. A judge described him as the late Osama bin Laden’s right-hand man in Europe.
He featured in hate sermons found on videos in the flat of one of the September 11 bombers.
Edward Fitzgerald QC, representing Qatada, argued at the Siac hearing in May that it would be “quite wrong” if he had to remain in prison pending his deportation challenge.
But Mr Justice Mitting said: “I’m satisfied that managing the risk posed by the appellant outside a category A prison during (the Olympics) would be exceptionally problematic.”
Repeated failed attempts by UK governments over the last 10 years to deport the radical cleric have cost nearly £1 million in legal fees, Government figures show.
No figures have been given for how much Qatada has received in legal aid and some estimates put the cost of keeping him in the UK, either in a high-security jail or closely monitored under strict conditions in the community, along with the legal costs of the fight to deport him, at more than £3 million.
A Home Office statement said: “Qatada is a dangerous man and we are pleased (Siac) agreed with us that he should remain behind bars before he is deported.
“We intend to remove Qatada as quickly as possible. The assurances we have secured from the Jordanian government will allow us to do that.”

Apparantly a 17 year old kid has been arrested over this “offensive” tweet to Diver Tom Daley. How pathetic can you get? See article below for the original story. A prosecution here will rest on the kids statement. Police and CPS will be asking him “did you mean the tweet to be offensive”? “Did you know it would upset Mr Daley”? As pathetic as it is, if he says “Yes”, he is likely to be prosecuted. Thats why saying “No comment” in these type of cases is often the best bet. I would say “I was making a comment as a fan of Mr Daley, I meant no offense by it and I refuse to answer any more questions”.

The shocking details in this article really ought to be headline news around the world, but investigative journalism is not what it used to be. The London Olympics opening ceremony was hijacked by Communist sympathisers working for the main director Danny Boyle.
Labour Party MPs are already boasting that the opening ceremony was a socialist event and the “best advert for the party in years”. Conservative MPs are privately muttering about the very obvious left-wing bias – as well they might.
Danny Boyle worked with one scriptwriter and four selected assistant directors to stage the opening and closing ceremonies. The five are:
Frank Cottrell Boyce: Scriptwriter for the opening ceremony and a personal friend of Danny Boyle. Cottrell Boyce started his career writing for the far-left magazine Living Marxism which had initially been launched in 1988 as The Journal of the British Revolutionary Communist Party.
Stephen Daldry: Theatre and film director, producer, and three-time Academy Award nominated director; his films include Billy Elliott. Daldry was also a member of the Socialist Workers Party (SWP) at Sheffield University in the 1980s, something he has said gave him a “political education”. The SWP describes itself as Anti-Capitalist and Revolutionary.
Catherine Ugwu: Creative Director and theatrical producer. Author of Lets Get It on: The Politics of Black Performance and Enigmas of race, Difference and Desire. Her work is quoted on reading lists centred on Marxism and Black Liberation Theology.
The two remaining assistant directors are Hamish Hamilton, a TV and film expert and Mark Fisherwho was responsible for the sets. Both appear politically impartial and were clearly chosen for their necessary skills only.
Many people around the world noted the overt political and multicultural slant of the opening ceremony. Now we know why.
The British government now needs to answer some serious questions. The Olympics are supposed to be politically impartial. Allowing the opening ceremony to be produced by communist sympathisers and a woman with links to black liberation theology is a political scandal of international proportion.

Read the article below. A troll sent a message to Team GB diver Daley saying “You let your father down you know that dont you”? Police have said they are actively investigating. Actively investigating what? Am I the only one who fails to see how this troll has broken the law? Daley may not like what the geezer said, but thats what celebrities should expect to happen when they have Twitter accounts where Joe Public can randomly send them messages. police and CPS are falling over themselves to prosecute any wrongdoing on Twitter, especially anything deemed “racist”. This is easy pickings for them. Why drive around South London council estates trying to catch heroin dealers and knife criminals, with all the danger that entails when you can sit in an office scrolling through Twitter and make easy, safe arrests? Whatever happened to freedom of speech? Did it ever exist in the first place? Welcome to Communist Britain.

IMMIGRANTS with multiple wives couldclaim higher benefit payments thanks to a loophole in the Govern-ment’s welfare shake-up, it emerged yesterday.
Under current rules, husbands in polygamous marriages are able to apply for income support and other handouts for their extra spouses. Ministers decided to scrap the rules when the new Universal Benefit system comes in next year to end the “absurd” situation where the state effectively recognises polygamy.
But now officials are concerned that multiple wives will claim full single person’s benefitsinstead, rather than lower-rate payments designed for “couples”.
Some immigrants could see their weekly handouts almost double from £40 to £71 a week.
The emergence of the loophole triggered fresh concerns about why families in some minority religious groups are permitted to indulge in polygamy while bigamy is illegal and punishable by up to seven years in jail.
At present, polygamous families on jobseeker’s allowance could claim £111.45 a week for the initial couple and £40 for each additional wife. Once they are treated as individuals, the wives could claim £71 a week.
 We should prosecute one or two people for bigamy – that would sort it out
 |
Department for Work and Pensions officials say each individual claimant will be subject to the same eligibility tests as anyone claiming benefits.
The drive to stop the benefits system recognising polygamy was spearheaded by Employment Minister Chris Grayling.
Last year, he told the Daily Express: “The fact that our benefit system has recognised polygamous marriages for a number of years has been extremely controversial.
“We’re now making big changes to welfare and we don’t think this situation should continue. I think that our system should be built around the laws and principles of this country.”
Jonathan Isaby, political director of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, said: “You cannot enter into a polygamous marriage under British law, so it is entirely wrong that they should ever have been recognised in the UK benefits system.

“Anyone who has taken more than one wife abroad should not be able to take advantage of our welfare system to sustain a way of life that is not sanctioned in this country.”
Crossbench peer Baroness Flather, Britain’s first Asian woman peer, said: “Why are they allowed to have more than one wife? We should prosecute one or two people for bigamy – that would sort it out.”
Some families from minority groups that encourage polygamy are understood to be claiming thousands of pounds a year in taxpayer-funded benefits for several spouses.
The practice is thought to be most prevalent among Muslims as some interpretations of Islamic law allow a man to have a “harem” of up to four wives.
A document from the House of Commons library yesterday confirmed that second, third or fourth wives would be able to claim a single person’s benefits as well as the standard amount claimed by the husband and first wife. It admitted the possibility of increased claims was an unintended consequence of the attempt to stop the state recognising polygamy.
The document said: “Treating second and subsequent partners in polygamous relationships as separate claimants could mean polygamous households receive more under Universal Credit than under the current rules for means-tested benefits and tax credits.”
A Department for Work and Pensions spokeswoman said: “Polygamy is illegal in this country and it would be wrong for the benefits system to legitimise these arrangements by recognising them in any way.”
Benefits potentially available to spouses in polygamous marriages include income support, jobseeker’s allowance, employment and support allowance, pension credit, housing benefit and council tax benefit.
A Muslim man with four wives could receive £10,000 a year in income support alone under the current rules.
One estimate put the bill for income support to polygamous partnerships at around £10million a year.

Fifty police officers across the UK have been arrested as part of a crackdown on suspected paedophiles who pay to access child pornography websites, detectives revealed today.
The officers were among 1,300 people arrested on suspicion of accessing or downloading indecent images of children – some as young as five – from US-based Internet sites.
Thirty-five men were arrested in London this morning as part of the investigation – codenamed Operation Ore – following raids on 45 addresses across the capital.
Of the 50 policemen identified, eight have been charged to date and the remainder bailed pending further inquiries. Scotland Yard said none of those arrested today was a policeman.
At a press conference at Scotland Yard today, Jim Gamble, assistant chief constable of the National Crime Squad, said he was not surprised at the number of police officers among the suspects.
“As police officers, we should expect to be held accountable,” he said.
“Fifty police officers have been identified and we are not hiding that fact. We want you to know about that to reassure you.
“Police officers are member of the communities that they serve and there will be good people and bad people in the police.”
Mr Gamble said the 50 officers were among 1,200 Britons who had been identified as “category one or two” suspects – those who posed the greatest potential risk to children.
In addition, 40 children nationwide – 28 of them in London – had been identified as being at risk of being abused and appropriate steps had been taken with other agencies to ensure that all the youngsters were safe.
Before today’s arrests, the Metropolitan Police had executed 75 warrants across the capital with 65 arrests and more than 130 computers seized. Although 7,000 suspected users of “pay-per-view” child pornography sites based in the US were identified in Britain, Mr Gamble said the actual number of offenders would probably be lower, partly due to duplicates.
The Met’s Deputy Assistant Commissioner, Carole Howlett, said today’s raids represented the single largest operation of its kind mounted so far by the force.
She added: “Our priority so far has been to identify those individuals on the list that pose the greatest threat to children now.
“But this process is on-going … and it will continue after today, even though it is extremely resource intensive.”
Ms Howlett also announced that the Home Office had agreed to allocate an extra £500,000 to support further action as part of Operation Ore.
She said the money would be used to provide extra training in computer forensics for officers across the country and to buy more equipment for analysing computers seized.
Commenting on today’s operation, children’s charity NSPCC said it had been assisting the Met by responding to any emerging child protection matters.
Colin Turner, head of NSPCC’s specialist investigation service, said: “The arrests send out a strong warning to those that think they can remain anonymous and escape the law by using the Internet to trade in child abuse images.
“Behind these indecent, abusive images are real children who will have suffered immense damage and trauma.”
Operation Ore is the UK wing of a huge FBI operation which traced 250,000 paedophiles worldwide last year through credit card details used to pay for downloading child porn.
The names of British suspects were passed on by US investigators.
Suspects were traced through the Landslide web site – a gateway to an international collection of child pornography sites.
Thomas Reedy, who ran the web site and earned millions from it, is now serving several life sentences in the US.
Whoever handed over a pile of cash to these muppets wants locking up. Didn’t we just know that a cowboy outfit like this would trouser the cash then struggle to get numbers of guards and would resort to employing illegals? An idiot could have told you that was going to happen. Illegal immigrants from of all places Pakistan have been caught working for them, now a Jihadi is employed by them and cant help himself and turns abusive when he sees a British soldier. Is he gonna be arretsed for a “racially aggravated offence”. Dont hold your breath. Get the money back from G4S, sack the lot of them and use the Army. Otherwise a terror attack is guaranteed.

Under-fire private security firm G4S was at the centre of another embarrassing Olympics scandal today after an employee allegedly
called a soldier a ‘baby killer’ as they worked at a Games venue.
The Asian civilian guard, who faces the sack, is said to have spat at the serviceman and made the abusive remark at the archery contest at Lord’s Cricket Ground.
The remark is believed to have been a reference to the soldier’s service in Afghanistan.

G4S, which had to be bailed out by troops after failing to provide enough guards to protect London 2012 venues, has begun an urgent investigation into the claims.
It said the soldier, understood to be a member of 35 Engineers, had asked to search the security officer.
The incident happened behind the scenes on Saturday evening as spectators watched Italy win the gold medal match against the U.S. in the men’s team archery event.
A spokesman for G4S said: ‘We are urgently investigating claims of an altercation between a security officer and a soldier.
British soldiers check a woman’s bag as she enters a London 2012 venue. None of the people pictured were involved in the incident at Lord’s Cricket Ground
‘We take any case of improper behaviour by a member of our staff very seriously.
‘We do not tolerate insulting behaviour and, where necessary, appropriate disciplinary action will be taken.’
The Ministry of Defence described the alleged incident as an ‘isolated occurrence’.
A MoD spokesman said: ‘We can confirm that there was an incident at Lord’s cricket ground on 28 July.
‘The matter was reported and is being investigated by G4S.
‘This isolated occurrence is not indicative of the good working relationship between the military and G4S.’
G4S was forced to admit it had not hired enough security guards to patrol the Games just weeks before they were due to begin, requiring the Government to step in and provide 4,700 extra military personnel to plug the gaps.

Greek triple jumper Voula Papachristou has been expelled from her country’s Olympic team over comments she posted on Twitter which were deemed racist.
Papachristou was due to compete in the London 2012 Games, which officially start this Friday.
But the Hellenic Olympic Committee said her posts mocking African immigrants and expressing support for a far-right party went against the Olympic spirit.
Papachristou has apologised for the “unfortunate and tasteless joke”.
As well as the comment on Sunday referring to the West Nile virus and Africans living in Greece, Papachristou had also reposted a tweet by Ilias Kasidiaris, a politician with the far-right Golden Dawn party, criticising Prime Minister Antonis Samaras’s stance on immigration.
Mark LowenBBC News, AthensThe mood among Greece’s Olympic team was already delicate: athletes have battled through tough conditions due to the spending cuts and the country is sending its smallest team to these games for the past 20 years. Now Greece has lost one of its medal hopefuls on the eve of the Olympics.
But the Greek Olympic Committee was under pressure to act. Human rights groups have lambasted the government for not doing enough to clamp down on racism: anti-immigrant attacks have increased as Greeks have hit out during the recession and the extreme right – many say neo-Nazi – Golden Dawn party has soared in popularity, entering parliament for the first time in its history.
So calls are growing louder here for Greece to show its other face: open, welcoming and tolerant; a country that rejects racism in any sphere. Voula Papachristou’s expulsion will be seen as an example of that.
She had previously retweeted several links to videos promoting the views of Golden Dawn, which won 7% of the vote in Greece’s recent elections, and had directly communicated online with Mr Kasidiaris.
Mr Kasidiaris gained notoriety for slapping one left-wing woman politician and throwing water over another, during a heated debate on a television show.
Papachristou tweeted him on his name day last week: “Many happy years, be always strong and true!!!”
‘A mistake’
The athlete’s remarks had prompted calls from the public and within the Greek government for her to be thrown out of the team.
The head of the Greek committee, Isidoros Kouvelos, said the 23-year-old had “showed no respect for the basic Olympian value”.
“She made a mistake and in life we pay for our mistakes,” he told Skai TV.
Earlier in the week, Papachristou had responded online, saying “that’s how I am” and that she was not like a stuck CD: “If I make mistakes, I don’t press the replay! I press Play and move on!”
But in a statement on her Facebook page and Twitter on Wednesday, Papachristou said she was “very sorry and ashamed for the negative responses I triggered, since I never wanted to offend anyone, or to encroach human rights”.
She apologised to her friends, family, fellow athletes and the national team, but said it would not have been possible for her to compete if she did not support the values of the Games.
“Therefore, I could never believe in discrimination between human beings and races.”
The Olympic Charter, established by Baron Pierre de Coubertin the founder of the modern competition, states that “The practice of sport is a human right”. Everyone should be able to play sport “without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play.”
The spirit of the games is about the power of sport over politics, where perseverance and hard work are paid off with medals; where ordinary people can become national heroes.
This ideology has been expanded over the years. In the words of the London2012 official education programme, Get Set: “The Olympic and Paralympic Games are about much more than sporting excellence.”
The Greek committee said she had been “placed outside the Olympic team for statements contrary to the values and ideas of the Olympic movement”.
However, her coach George Pomaski said the punishment had been too harsh and she had already apologised.
“This is a big disappointment not only for her but for her family and for myself, and anyone involved in the Greek team,” he said.
Mr Pomaski said he had been unable to contact Papachristou for several hours.
The BBC’s Mark Lowen in Athens says Greece is experiencing a sharp rise in racism, with the popularity of right-wing parties such as Golden Dawn soaring.
The government has come under pressure to crack down on racism in all domains, including sport, says our correspondent.
A total of 12 lads have now been arrested in Scotland and are charged with breach of the peace and racial aggravation. This relates to them chanting “Muslim bombers off our streets and muslim paedos off our streets”. These charges will never stick. Good luck lads.

OLYMPIC chiefs were today threatened by fresh scandal after it emerged suspected illegal immigrants had been drafted in to protect St James’ Park.
Three alleged bogus workers – employed as security guards – were arrested in a co-ordinated strike on the home ground of Newcastle United.
It came just 24 hours before Mexico and South Korea kicked off Tyneside’s Olympic celebrations.
UK Border Agency workers made the arrests alongside officers from Northumbria Police after acting on intelligence and carrying out routine checks.
The suspected illegal immigrants had been contracted in to provide security at the site and had already been installed at their posts, it is believed.
It comes just days after Tyneside doormen were drafted in from private security firms to protect the stadium.
The Chronicle understands those arrested were brought into the city by the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games(LOCOG) from a security company based in the south of the country.
LOCOG were unable to comment on the incident, but a spokesman from the Home Office confirmed they had staged the sting on Wednesday.
The spokesman said: “These arrests show that UK Border Agency security checks are working.
“The responsibility for ensuring employees have the right to work in the UK rests with the employer.
“The UK Border Agency is working closely with employers and contractors at Olympics venues to prevent illegal working.”
Security firm G4S have faced heavy criticism in the run-up to the Olympics in Newcastle, after they failed to live up to their promise of providing security staff on Tyneside.
Earlier this week more than 500 staff from security firms across the country were called in to patrol St James’ Park, check bags, marshal spectators and carry out routine public safety and security functions for the tournament, which runs to August 4.
It was the latest foul-up by the company after it emerged this month they had failed to ensure enough security staff turned up to provide protection for footballers staying at the Hilton Hotel in Gateshead.
On that occasion Northumbria Police were forced to step in.
But today Olympic chiefs were facing fresh criticism after police helped Border Agency officers carry out the arrests at St James’ Park.
Home Office officials were unable to release the nationalities or ages of those arrested, but confirmed they had carried out a raid.
Meanwhile, a Northumbria Police spokesman said: “On Wednesday, July 25, officers carried out a number of arrests in conjunction with the UK Border Agency in connection with suspected immigration offences.”
Last week two Olympic security guards were arrested on suspicion of being illegal immigrants at Coventry’s Ricoh Stadium. One was due to be a supervisor for G4S.
The Pakistani pair, aged 21 and 24, are believed to have been working for several weeks at the ground, which is one of the 2012 football venues.
LOCOG further came under fire after fans reported delays getting into St James’ Park prior to Mexico’s goalless draw with South Korea.
Today Newcastle City Council’s director of operations 2012, Stephen Savage, said: “LOCOG are responsible for ticketing, sales andcollections, and as soon as the city council became aware of the delays we made the strongest representations to LOCOG to tackle this issue.
“I’m pleased they have now come up with a solution to reduce delays.
“The atmosphere at yesterday’s games was absolutely marvellous and the fans of Mexico, Korea, Gabon and Switzerland were a credit to their nations.”

Remember when EDL people were being given illegal ten year Crasbos banning them from demonstrating? And when 170 people were arrested on Armistice day just in case they committed a breach of the peace? And when police have attacked us and imposed ridiculous bail conditions on patriots? The left LOVED it and couldn’t take the piss enough. They have pushed for bans on us demonstrating and for police to be heavy handed with us.
Last night the same lefties got battered and arrested for nothing and have been slapped with charges and ridiculous bail conditions and now it NOT SO FUNNY. Now its outrageous haha. Go on the #criticalmass hashtag on Twitter and watch them squealing about the injustice of it all, its comedy gold. Did they really think the police would not turn this form of policing on them?
