Revealed: Egyptian illegal migrant, 42, who raped woman in Hyde Park while living in the Hilton hotel is a convicted Islamic terrorist​

An Egyptian asylum seeker who was jailed for raping a woman in London's Hyde Park is a convicted Islamic terrorist, the Daily Mail can reveal.

Abdelrahmen Adnan Abouelela, 42, was found guilty in his absence of being part of a bomb-making cell in Egypt and given a seven-year jail sentence on May 5, 2015.

He claimed asylum when he arrived in the UK in April 2023, and was housed in taxpayer-funded hotel accommodation while his application was considered.

Abouelela was allowed to wander around freely and even posed for a selfie picture in January last year outside the Imperial War Museum North Museum in Trafford, Greater Manchester.

Home Office officials spent 17 months pondering over whether or not to grant his asylum application, despite apparently knowing of his bomb-making conviction, before he raped the vulnerable woman in Hyde Park last November.

"We will not stand by and let people-smugglers sell illegal, dangerous journeys using lies and deceit."
The unreality of the above statement is blatantly deliberate.

A War on Perception”: Gaslighting in Politics
With the increasing prevalence of psychological concepts in our everyday language, “gaslighting” has emerged as a powerful tool to describe manipulation. And it is not just limited to interpersonal relationships: in our age of post-truth and rampant misinformation, entire societies could be gaslit. What does political gaslighting entail, and how can we defend ourselves from the truth-bending rhetoric of narcissistic leaders?

Facts​

Yes, as of mid-2025, approximately one in six people (about 16-17%) on UK Universal Credit is a foreign national (defined as individuals born outside the UK). This corresponds to more than 1.3 million out of the total 7.9 million Universal Credit claimants in June 2025.bbc+2

Details from Recent Statistics​

  • Around 83.6% of Universal Credit claimants are British or Irish nationals.gov+2
  • The remaining 16.4%—equivalent to roughly one in six—are non-UK-born claimants, including EU nationals with settled status, refugees, people on humanitarian routes such as Ukrainian and Afghan schemes, and a smaller share with temporary or other forms of leave to remain.ihowz+1
  • Of these foreign-born claimants, approximately 700,000 are EU nationals, and around 1.5% are refugees, with a further 0.7% arriving via designated safe routes.bbc+1

Additional Insights​

  • The share of foreign nationals among Universal Credit claimants has remained between 15% and 17% since April 2022.migrationobservatory.ox+1
  • By comparison, about 13% of the wider working-age population are non-UK or non-Irish nationals, indicating a slightly higher proportion of foreign nationals among Universal Credit recipients.migrationobservatory.ox

Cost to UK Taxpayer​

Current government figures show UK taxpayers are spending nearly £1 billion per month on Universal Credit claims by households with at least one foreign national, which amounts to about £12 billion per year. This cost has doubled in three years, rising from £461 million per month in March 2022 to £941 million in March 2025.telegraph+1

Breakdown of Costs​

  • Households with at least one foreign national received £941 million in Universal Credit payments in March 2025.telegraph
  • This represents nearly a sixth of the total monthly Universal Credit expenditure, which puts the total annual cost for foreign claimants close to £12 billion.telegraph+1
  • The overall UK Universal Credit budget for working-age benefits and children is over £140 billion annually, so payments to foreign nationals represent about 8.5% of the total UC budget.gov+1

Additional Notes​

  • Most foreign nationals become eligible after gaining settled status, with a smaller number qualifying via humanitarian or refugee routes.ihowz+1
  • The government does not report costs separately for individuals versus mixed-nationality households, so the number is for households where at least one member is a foreign national.theyworkforyou
These statistics are based on official payments data and recent government reports from Spring and Summer 2025.telegraph+3

Red Flag.png

Labour has set up a working group headed by Dominic Grieve, the Tory former attorney general, to devise a definition in a what it says is a move to combat anti-Muslim abuse.

It was instigated by Angela Rayner, the former deputy prime minister, but has now been taken over by Communities Secretary Steve Reed.

Free speech could also be restricted by the introduction of a non-statutory definition of Islamophobia, according to barrister Tom Cross KC, a member of a top advisory panel.
