The guidance highlights child rape is illegal 'even if they look older' or if 'it is allowed in another country'

The Home Office has today published a guide for illegal migrants on how "not to rape women" in Britain.

It is just one of the resources available in a collection titled: "Understanding behaviours and expectations in the UK: a guide for asylum seekers".

Posters and information on rape, the age of consent and child abuse are among the guides to help asylum seekers "understand what is expected when living in the UK".

The guidance highlights child rape is illegal "even if they look older" or if "it is allowed in another country".

When discussing child abuse, it explains it is against the law to physically hurt, shout at or threaten a child and deny them food, clothes, shelter or care.

It also explicitly tells foreigners female genital mutilation, where a person cuts or harms a girl’s genitals, is forbidden in Britain.

Describing the "serious crime" of rape, the Home Office describes what consent is: "In the UK, both people must say ‘yes’ to sex. This is called consent."

The Government department add it is still rape if you are married to the person or in a relationship and if a person agreed once but changed their mind.

They are warned breaking these rules could lead to prison, the loss of their support and accommodation, and an adverse effect on their asylum claim.

Reform UK's spokesman for home affairs, Zia Yusuf, wrote on social media: "This is one of the most insane things I have ever seen."

He added: "The Government is handing out guides to illegal migrants, training them not to rape women, not to beat women, have sex with children or leave babies alone.

"The political class are knowingly enabling the assault of our women and girls at your expense."

The Home Office explains they "understand that coming to a new country can be difficult", highlighting laws and customs in Britain "may be different from your home country".

The booklet explains what domestic abuse is and why it is important to treat men and women equally.

Chris Philp MP, the Shadow Home Secretary, said: "Illegal and legal immigrants are coming from places and societies where attitudes towards women are completely incompatible with Western society. Too many are failing to integrate, leaving frankly backwards standards to prevail.

"It seems like every day there is another report of an illegal immigrant raping or assaulting women and young girls here. Instead of trying to train these mainly young, male illegal immigrants to behave in a civilised way towards women, the Home Office should instead deport them."

On one page titled "Gender Equality", arrivals are told that women can work, study, and travel freely in the UK without needing permission from a man.

Another page on domestic abuse warns that you could be arrested or go to prison if you carry out physical or emotional attacks on your partner.

The People's Channel understands these resources were produced for asylum seekers, so there can be no possible misunderstanding of what is expected in Britain.
