Labour abolishes crime - Hurrah!

According to a report issued today by ACPO, the Association of Chief Police Officers, the percentage of criminality amongst migrant workers is no higher than the native population. Phew - I'm damn glad to hear that. So all those stories of people traffickers, cash point thieves, Romanian burglars and Lithuanian decapitators of young women were just vicious rumours after all? In fact, not only are our friends from the East a law abiding bunch, their high moral standards seem to be having a beneficial effect on our home-grown scrotes, because - unbelievably -reported crime has actually fallen in the UK.

In figures released by the Home Office in January, recorded crime in England and Wales was down by 9% from July to September last year compared with the same period in the previous year.


Sniff - can you smell something? Yes it's the unmistakably whiff of Labour bullshit. Dig a little deeper and it doesn't take long before the story starts unravelling:

Acpo's head of race and diversity, Peter Fahy, who co-wrote the report, said: "We have got...a fairly significant reduction in crime across the whole country.

"So it wouldn't really make sense that given we've brought in something like 800,000 to 1,000,000 from eastern Europe, during that period crime has actually fallen significantly."


You're fucking right it doesn't make sense. There is no indication in this report of how are they measuring criminality? My guess is in terms of the percentage of reported crimes per head of population. But expressed in percentage terms, the fact that migrant workers have the same proportion of dodgy characters as the native population conveniently hides the fact that if you've added 1m to the population, the overall number of crimes in absolute terms must have increased. Viewed in this way, the figures don't look quite so believable. And there is plenty of evidence to back-up this hypothesis.

Last September, the Telegraph reported:

More than one crime in five in London is now committed by a foreign national, raising fresh fears over the impact of immigration.

Poles, who have entered Britain in record numbers since they joined the European Union in 2004, committed 2,310 crimes in the first six months of this year to become the most prolific offenders.

Romanians, whose country became part of the EU in January, committed more than 1,000 offences — an eightfold rise on the same period in 2006, according to Metropolitan Police figures for solved crimes.


Notice these figures are based, not on some arbitrary "crime rate" calculation, but on hard, factual data. Some police chiefs have given us further insights into the real effects of Labour's policy of mass migration...

Mike Fuller, Chief Contable of Kent, said “migration surges” had contributed to an increase of more than a third in violent crime over five years to 7,800 incidents in 2007.


That's an increase of over 33% in just five years! Statistics show that 1 in 8 of the whole UK prison population are now foreign nationals. Figures released by 25 police forces in England and Wales indicated that one-in-five people convicted or charged with murder in the 12 months to April 2007 was foreign. Last year, Julie Spence, the chief constable of Cambridgeshire said that drink-drive figures showed a 17-fold rise in arrests of foreigners.

Then there is the use of that handy phrase "recorded crime" as a barometer of levels of criminality. This is surely the most unreliable indicator to rely upon in this situation:

We have had huge increases in the interpreters budget, but that's not really just about eastern Europeans being offenders, it's also about them being victims and witnesses of crime
Peter Fahy, Acpo


So what you're saying is that there are clearly difficulties in getting reliable evidence from eastern European witnesses as well as criminals. Therefore, is it not reasonable to assume that because of these difficulties, a proportion crimes go unrecorded? Julie Spence said last year that it could take three times longer to deal with a crime involving an offender, witness or victim who did not speak English. It was more expensive because of the need for interpreters, with up to 90 languages being spoken. Is it not reasonable to also summise that a significant percentage of cases are dropped becuase of the expense involved in bringing a case to court?

Could this not provide a more believable explanation for this apparently miraculous 9% drop in recorded crime?

But, of course, none of that's going to be mentioned in Jacqui Smith's predictable response to the report. Naturally the cunt will slap our faces with this flimsiest of evidence and tell us what misguided fools we were to believe these scandalous and subversive stories of rising crime fuelled by out-of-control migration.

Well, Smith can fuck off: The evidence that Labour's open door policy on immigration has acted as a magnet to every scumbag in the A8 is absolutely overwhelming. I know it; you know it; every copper knows it and Smith fucking knows it too. How much longer do we have to put up with this bunch of lying, treasonous, incompetant shit-stains. Never mind a referendum, I want a bloody revolution.
