Migrants Told 'Don't Beat Your Wife, Don't Abuse Children': Home Office's New 'Behaviour Guide' Sparks Fury

The Home Office has come under fire for releasing guidelines aimed at asylum seekers on how to conduct themselves while in the UK. Critics have lambasted the posters titled 'Resources for asylum seekers in the UK', arguing the guidance is patronising and unnecessary.

One poster explaining consent to asylum seekers states: 'In the UK, both people must say "yes" to sex. This is called consent. If you have sex with someone who does not want to, this is called rape. Rape is a serious crime. It is still rape if: you are married to the person or in a relationship; they agreed once, but changed their mind.'
