Fact check: There is a big scandal in Britain again due to migrants.
Verdict: misleading — Trust Score 25/100
The video, which features an AI-generated goose as a news anchor, presents misleading information regarding migrant crime statistics in the UK. While the UK Home Office did publish a guide for asylum seekers titled 'Understanding behaviours and expectations in the UK' refuted by 5 sources, the video's specific claims about migrants committing nearly half of all rapes in London while making up only 20% of the population are not supported by available data. The guide does address consent, gender equality, and domestic abuse, but the video's portrayal of its content is sensationalized.

Platform: TIKTOK Author: @i11ush_news_tt --- Caption/Description --- Памятка для мигрантов ---VERIFICATION_SUMMARY--- Platform: TIKTOK Author: @i11ush_news_tt Person shown on screen (from video analysis): A goose in a suit, a group of men, a group of politicians, a man shrugging, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, a woman making an 'X' with her arms, two dog figurines, a man in a prison, a man throwing a rock, What the video shows (from video analysis): The video shows a series of short clips, starting with a goose in a suit reporting news. It then transitions to various scenes including a group of men, a meeting of politicians, a man shrugging, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, a woman making an 'X' with her arms, two dog figurines, a man in a prison, a man throwing a rock, a man shoplifting, a man talking to a child, a man breaking into a house, and a man drinking tea. The clips are interspersed with text overlays and a pamphlet cover. --- HOW TO VERIFY THIS (provenance-first) --- 1. SOURCE-TRACE: take the MOST DISTINCTIVE, verbatim details above — exact unusual quotes, named people/places/objects — and web-search them TOGETHER as a combination, alongside the subject/person shown and the topic, to find the ORIGINAL source of this clip (an official channel, the uploader, a news report). A combination of distinctive phrases has essentially ONE source on the web. 2. JUDGE FROM PROVENANCE: If a credible source (official account, established news outlet) documents this exact clip/event, it is a REAL, documented event — verify accordingly, and use that source to confirm WHO is shown. If after searching NO credible source corroborates an extraordinary or specific claim, state it CANNOT BE VERIFIED (and for a sensational claim lean toward not-credible). Do NOT default to "verified" on tangential, generic facts. 2b. PARTIAL PROVENANCE IS A RED FLAG, NOT A PASS: finding news coverage of the BACKGROUND event (the place, the deployment, the crisis) while NO source documents the SPECIFIC
Claims analyzed (5)
- mostly true: There is a big scandal in Britain again due to migrants.
News reports from August 2026 indicate a 'row' or 'scandal' regarding new guidance for asylum seekers published by the Home Office, which addresses issues like rape, sexual harassment, and domestic abuse. - unverifiable: The government looked at rape statistics and found that almost half of all rapes in London are committed by migrants, who make up only 20% of the population.
Searches for current (2026) UK government or official statistics supporting the claim that migrants commit almost half of all rapes in London while being 20% of the population did not yield direct corroboration. The Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford states that research on how migration affects crime rates in the UK is limited and that non-UK citizens made up 13.1% of cautions and convictions in 2024 and 12.1% of the prison population in June 2025, which is roughly similar to the - mostly true: The UK government released a paper guide for male migrants.
The UK Home Office published a guide titled 'Understanding behaviours and expectations in the UK: a guide for asylum seekers' on August 19, 2026. While it is a guide for asylum seekers, it is not explicitly stated to be for 'male migrants' only, although the content addresses issues relevant to both genders. Newsweek reports that the guidance details the country's laws on consent to sexual activity, gender equality, and domestic abuse. - misleading: The pamphlet states: 'Do not forcefully do a speedrun with a person who does not want it. Especially with children. You can go to prison for this.'
The official guide 'Understanding behaviours and expectations in the UK' does address consent and states that 'If you have sex with someone without their consent, this is called rape. Rape is a serious crime in the UK. You could go to prison, lose your support and accommodation, and it will affect your asylum claim.' It also covers keeping children safe. However, the specific phrasing 'do a speedrun' is not present in the official document and appears to be a sensationalized or mistranslated int - mostly true: The pamphlet also contains other useful tips, such as not hitting women with stones, not stealing, not stealing children, and not breaking into other people's homes.
The guide 'Understanding behaviours and expectations in the UK' covers gender equality, domestic abuse, and respect in public. It states that 'Everyone in the UK is expected to treat men and women equally' and that 'If your behaviour is controlling or threatening, it may also be treated as domestic abuse, which is a crime.' While it doesn't explicitly say 'do not hit women with stones,' it covers the broader concept of treating women with respect and avoiding abuse. The guide also mentions that
