3/ Let's start with Sweden, who accepted the highest number of refugees p/c during the 2015 migrant crisis
As a result, it is now the only European nation experiencing an increase in fatal gun crimes since the turn of the century, with rates 2.5x higher than the European average
4/ An investigation showed that only 15% of gun crime is committed by ethnic Swedes:
🔴Foreign born (41%)
🟤Domestic-born with two foreign parents (35%)
⚫️Domestic-born with one foreign-born parent (9%)
⚪️Domestic-born with domestic-born parents (15%)
7/ Much has been made of Sweden's rape epidemic since 2015. However, a study found that even prior to the 2015 migrant crisis, 60% of rapists were of an immigrant background, with half being born outside of Sweden
14/ A study into crime rates in Finland and Norway found similar trend with Africans and Middle-Eastern migrants committing significantly higher rates than native, Western and some Asian populations.
16/ A Finnish study from 2021 found that in 2020, first generation migrants accounted for 37.5% of rapes and 17.8% of child abusers despite only being 7% of the population.
22/ It’s worth noting that homicides perpetrated by non-White groups are more likely to occur in the street, whereas White homicides tend to be located in domestic settings
27/ Following widespread riots during Halloween the previous year in Austria, refugees were relocated to other accommodation and enrolled in "special value courses." These courses were designed to acquaint migrants with the Austrian "values and norms."
29/ Data from the Interior Ministry in Italy revealed that in the first 6 months of 2018, 32% of criminals were foreign born, despite only accounting for 8% of the population
31/ In Spain, 45.6% of sexual assaults were committed by foreigners in 2021 and 20% of those arrested originate from Africa, despite only representing 2.4% of the population
32/ Whenever anyone makes a claim that "It is simply wrong to link immigration to criminality," show them the data in this thread.
Do not let them get away with such deleterious lies.
33/ Here is a similar thread of mine which challenges the frequently repeated media narrative that immigration is economically beneficial for European nations
1/ A reminder that Sajid Javid, serving as Home Secretary at the time, wrote a personal letter to the ringleader of the Rochdale grooming gang, assuring him he would not be deported.
Javid is of Pakistani heritage and was born in Rochdale.
2/ Derrick Peters lied about living in Grenfell and was put up at Kensington's Park Grand Hotel for free for 6 months.
During his stay, he was arrested for burglary but the judge let him off with community service, despite Peters' 40 previous convictions.
3/ Alvin Thompson claimed he helped people escape the building.
Thompson told doctors that he had recurring nightmares of seeing a small child at a window in the fire, flash backs to stepping over bodies and survivor's guilt.
First, anyone who claims the British looted $45tn immediately demonstrates that they haven't bothered to look into how the figure was ludicrously calculated.
2/ India's pre-colonial GDP was due to having a quarter of the world's population at a time when America, Australia, and most of Africa was in the stone-age.
However, Britain and much of Europe at the time had around double the GDP per capita.
3/ India was a top 5 economy throughout British rule, overtaking China.
India's had the 5th largest economy in 1945, above Japan/China/France.
India's economy fell as low as 17th in 1990, many years after independence, despite having second largest population in the world.
1/ A new working paper claims that non-EU migrants in Europe have a less negative fiscal position than natives - in other words, that they contribute more relative to what they receive.
Like every single one of these papers, the methodology is deeply misleading.
