  2. The man who sexually assaulted me was white British and he didn’t get charged. I would take these statistics with a pinch of salt.

  5. Not surprising when you consider London’s ethnic demographic,

  6. Just gonna say that the source for that is highly dubious.

    I think the problem is very real, there are other crime stats that point in that direction.

    But don’t just eat up any stat that vindicates you… Be better.

  10. “Up to” so the actual figure could be 0.001%

    It’s the same wording my ISP used to use to get away with the actual speed being 90% slower than the advertised one before they got called out for it by advertising standards.

    Repeatedly using dodgy or deliberately misleading stats really doesn’t help your case

  13. But I was told by many people that it was only a minority of the minority? /S

    The thing people keep telling you isn’t happening, is happening. We’re getting into the territory of “10% of the population cause 50% of the crime” rhetoric.

  15. Far-right source so let’s check its data:

    >In 2024, there were 1,601 arrests which led to further action being taken. 597 of these were of foreign nationals, 149 were “unknown”, and 855 were British nationals. If we remove unknown nationalities from the equation, then 41% of all charges for sexual offence were foreign nationals.

    597/1601 does not equal “41%” but 37%.

    >However, if we assume that a significant proportion of those whose nationality could not be identified we foreign nationals, then up to 47% of charges last year were laid against foreign nationals.

    And there it is – *”If we rig the data, we get the result we want!”*

    Just because a field in a record is not filled in, means only that it was not filled in.

  17. That comment on the “source” is absolutely vile…
    I have seen these same stats on websites that dont include disgusting hatred like that, would have been better to use one of those instead of the link you have shared. The statics only show that there’s far too many sexual assaults full stop regardless of where the perpetrator comes from and one of the factors for this is the awful justice system and their inability to protect citizens by putting these monsters away for a reasonable amount of time. If they stopped policing in the Internet and started catching real criminals maybe the streets would be a little safer. If your giving people 2 year sentences for saying something online whilst slapping the wrist of somebody who abuses women and children there’s clearly a problem( not defending hate speech just dont see how a few words are worse than sexual assaults a pedophilia). Sexual offences have a much larger impact on the victims that can affect them for the rest of their lives and sentencing should be in line with that a carry a much harsher punishment.

  18. Note that the rough % of people living in London that are “foreign nationals” is ~40%, which is higher than the UK average of ~15%.

  19. Makes sense given foreign nationals make up around 45% of London but I’m sure the bigots will look past that as it doesn’t fit their agenda.

  20. So says trusted neutral news source /adjusts_glasses “Migrationcentral”

  21. Take a look at the comment on the source website, let’s you know all you need to know about whoever this is being made for.

  23. Fact. Less foreigners = less sexual assaults (irrespective of any other facts or arguing about %).

  27. I’ve never seen a source make so many assumptions

    Like the methodology is awful

    He doesn’t say where he gets his population stats he says afghan population of London is 12,000 but in 2011 census is was around 37,680

    Edit: just looked at the data again the writer leaves out parts of the population out of the equations and doesn’t use actual data for anyone but Brits

    We are missing about 1 million people from his calculations

  28. I don’t want to be banned from another UK sub…. 🙁
