Keir Starmer urged not to 'cover it up' as bombshell new migrant crime figures released
Keir Starmer must choose between publishing migrant crime data or instigating "yet another shameful cover up", Robert Jenrick has declared.
The Shadow Justice Secretary warned Afghans and Eritreans are 20 times more likely to be convicted of sex offences, while Albanians are 153 times more likely to be convicted of drug offences...
Research by the Centre for Migration Control revealed there were 104,000 foreign national convictions between 2021 and 2023.
We could ask an interesting question here - does Starmer have the power to hide the crime figures in a digital age?
Organisations such as Centre for Migration Control seem to acquire enough data to highlight the severity of the issue and apart from that, anyone paying attention has known for years that there are significant correlations in crime statistics, including national correlations.
As we already know, Starmer's instinctive approach appears to be censorship, but at the moment this mainly works on those strange souls willing to be censored. Everyone else knows well enough what is going on.

Two Tier being incisive: “The reports of these strikes are concerning and we urge all parties to step back and reduce tensions urgently. Escalation serves no one in the region. Stability in the Middle East must be the priority and we are engaging partners to de-escalate. Now is the time for restraint, calm and a return to diplomacy.”
That'll larn 'em.
As far as I can see, this information had to be prised out of the establishment rather than being published by the ONS or Home Office. It began with Freedom of Information requests to different agencies, and there is a wonderful irony with a Blairite initiative being used against Starmer's rancid project.
He will, of course, try to cover it up, or, if the clamour grows, he'll make some important announcement that he is tackling this, and then let it recede into the background while nothing is done about it. A bit like "sbashig the gags" and the "Island of strangers" speech. The crime figures are part of the important trinity of stats, the other two being the amount of tax paid by immigrants (less) and the amount of benefits received (more). The government could have published these in order to scotch all racist misinformation from the Far Right; to convince the public that multiculturalism has indeed been a massive net benefit to us all; and even to censor and criminalise hate speech.
While Starmer is thinking of this, I hope he has one eye on the news from Ballymena.
I read elsewhere that Two Tier is busy trying to maintain the 'Tony Blair project' and this explains why his focus is not on current events.
So when it comes to publishing migrant crime data (or not) we should ask ourselves 'What Would Tony Do?'. So I expect they will be published, late on a Friday afternoon, during the recess, with newspapers 'guided' to reporting some more pressing event.
But what worked in 1997 may not be so effective in 2025.
dearieme - that's a good example of his inability to go beyond dull irrelevance. He's so incisive that nobody can remember what he said for longer than ten seconds. Probably wants a series of meetings with photo ops and first class travel - but not to the Middle East.
Sam - FoI has been used to prise out much of the climate change information which doesn't fit the narrative, so much so that some have wondered why it was ever introduced. As you suggest, Starmer wouldn't have done it and maybe he'll try to close it down if censorship doesn't work.
There does seem to be something curiously irresistible about the leakage of politically sensitive information.
When will these numpties realise that western style diplomacy does not work with certain cultures. Islamic history, going back as far as the paedophilic, raping, camel stealer, mentions their use of "taqquiyya", which allows promises and assurances, even if sworn on the Koran, can be ignored if the results further the cause of Islam. I've even witnessed it in Crown Court when a Muslim witness was found to have committed perjury defending a fellow Muslim. CPS 'declined ' to prosecute him because of that word.
Penseivat
DJ - yes, Tony Blair seems to be part if Two Tier's inner circle as a political strategist. As you say though, what worked in 1997 may not be so effective in 2025.
Penseivat - Israel certainly seems to have decided that western style diplomacy does not work with Iran. It doesn't of course.
Not to mention, I told you not to mention , Eukranian rent boy arsinists.
Doonhamer - I mentioned them but I think I got away with it.
