04.08.2025 โ‡ข The Cover-up Accusations, The Storm's Advance
โŒจUK media on August 4 opened with reports on new migrant 'hotspots' and initial warnings for Storm Floris, which quickly escalated into significant domestic disruption across Britain, causing widespread travel cancellations and power outages. The tragic death at an Oasis concert also maintained early prominence. However, the day's primary editorial focus rapidly shifted to intensifying claims of an alleged police 'cover-up' regarding a child sex offence by Afghan asylum seekers. Nigel Farage notably amplified these accusations, demanding ethnicity data and alleging a 'Rotherham style' concealment, which sparked a contentious national debate. Concurrently, Storm Floris continued its widespread impact, with extreme winds and further power losses dominating domestic reporting. International attention remained on the Gaza conflict, with distressing reports on the state of hostages and escalating Palestinian casualties.
