Election Year or Fear!

Fair enough Tricky, be interesting to compare those figures with the numbers arriving from those countries. Also before we get too carried away we should maybe consider the apparent contradictions on offer as regards figures surrounding this topic.

In March 2025 the Telegraph claimed that 15% of s*x offences were committed by foreign nationals. (Still leaving 85% committed by home grown offenders.)

By last month the same publication was claiming that 10.6% of s*x offenders were foreign nationals.

In the meantime, Robert Jenrick claimed, earlier this month, that foreign nationals were responsible for 40% of s*x crimes in London. Figures which were sourced from the Centre for Migration Control which is run by Reform UK’ s Robert Bates…just sayin?.

In addition the Telegraph recently claimed that one in 12 (!!) of those now living in London are here illegally…a figure which must, imo, be taken with a very large pinch of salt.

So, while not seeking to belittle the issue which you repeatedly seek to raise, I think even you must question the reliability and consistency of certain figures and claims made by those such as the Telegraph, CMC and Mr. Jenrick.
