jimmyjames Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 thought this would interest people who say the migrant crimewave is a myth. http://www.thestar.co.uk/headlines/migrant-crime-toll-rising.5172562.jp the cost to the police force is massive.

the_rudeboy Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Strange how the article in The Star doesn't mention any numbers to back up this claim? Only that its takes three times as long to book non-English speaking prisoners in and that staff are 'stretched' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fareast Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Well, of course, the whole story COULD be false but one aspect of it seems obviously true ; to wit :- It 's only common sense, surely, to see that people who have no command of English, or very little, might well benefit from having an interpreter. Lo & behold, interpreters cost money ! Also, it 's highly probable that because immigrants are disproportionally young males, they will tend to committ more crimes than a cross-section of the population. It 's the same with our own indigenous villains, isn 't it ? Whatever the whys and wherefores it seems pretty clear that immigration, in this particular case, costs the U.K. quite a lot of money and the O.P., quite rightly, suggests that this is often denied by many people. I wonder why ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafydd Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 And presumably all we native Brits are being right little goody-goodies, and standing by to act as Batman? Crime has gone up in toto,so it seems a little unnecessary to highlight only one area. Incidentally, the individual who offered extreme violence because of something my learner driver did yesterday was very obviously British, as was the guy who broke in to my car twice.

pem123 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Will do the interpretation industry good though, which has to be a plus in these hard times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzzle Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Where does it say there's a migrant crimewave? It just says it's costing more to process migrant offenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you call the West side living folk liberals, I lived in the west of sheffield for many years and I am anything but a softie liberal twit!
