The "diversification" of the United Kingdom is going "swimmingly," as the Brits would say.
According to the The Telegraph, the study shows the shocking scope of migrant crime.
The nationalities with the highest number of convictions for sexual offences last year were Indians (with 100), Romanians (92), Poles (83), Pakistanis (56), Afghans (43), Nigerians (40), Sudanese (37), Bangladeshi (34) and Portuguese (33).
According to the data, the number of sex offence convictions for foreign nationals rose by 62 per cent, from 687 in 2021 to 1,114 in 2024, compared with a 39.3 per cent rise for British nationals, from 4,409 to 6,142.
It is unknown how the data separates "British nationals" from "foreign nationals." Is the data broken down by ethnicity (unlikely), or does it label second-generation immigrants from India and Pakistan as "British"?
Since the study lists nationality and not ethnicity, it is possible that the crimes committed by "Romanians" or "Poles" are ethnic minorities (like the Romani), or "refugees" that gained residency status in those host countries. Other nations, like Portugal, allow immigration from former colonies. As The Telegraph notes, it is "possible for an offender to have multiple nationalities listed," but only their primary nationality was recorded.
When you focus on the main nationalities crossing the British Channel, the numbers become even worse:
The seven nationalities that accounted for about three quarters of the Channel crossings last year - Afghans, Syrians, Iranians, Vietnamese, Eritreans, Sudanese and Iraqis - saw a 110 per cent increase in the number of sexual offence convictions between 2021 and 2024.
That isn't the last few decades. It's the last few years.
A few more stats:
Convictions of foreign nationals increased by 19.6%, compared to 5.9% of British nationals.
Convictions for weapons charges rose by 9.4% for foreign nationals, versus a decrease of 1% for British nationals.
Criminal damage and arson convictions rose by 105.4% for foreign nationals, versus 18.9% for British nationals.
Despite the rise in crime, there was actually a 28.7% DECREASE in violent crime convictions for foreign nationals, which may be the result of softer-on-crime polices.
Nigel Farage, the Reform UK leader, said: 'This country has a serious and growing crime problem with its own people, which makes importing foreign-born criminals all the more stupid. Foreign sex offenders are becoming one of the most important political issues in Britain. These figures will infuriate the public.'
Infuriate the public? Yeah, maybe.
But with the most popular name for baby boys in the UK being "Muhammad," who can say for sure?
