1/ Recent years have seen a surge in violent crimes in London:
• Sexual offences at all-time high
• Knife crime at an all-time high (with only 1 in 6 solved)
• Teenage murders at all-time high
• Increase in muggings and robberies

2/ After a FOIA request, we can observe the ethnic groups committing the majority of violent crime.
First let's establish the demography of London:
• 53.8% White*
• 20% Asian
• 13.5% Black
• 6.3% Other
3/ *It's important to highlight that almost one-third of Whites in London are not of British origin, including Albanians, who represent the most extensive crime network in the UK and are hugely overrepresented in the prison system (1 in 100 Albanians are currently in jail).
4/ Let's start with Homicide Offences
White: 29.12%
Black: 59.34%
Black individuals are arrested for homicide at a rate 8.12 times higher than Whites. To put this in context, men are only nine times more prone to commit murder compared to women globally.
5/ 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
Blacks are arrested for robbery offences at a rate 6.47 times higher than Whites. Additionally, Blacks are 320% more likely to be the perpetrators rather than victims
9/ Sexual Offences
White: 48.15%
Black: 29.58%
Black individuals are 2.45x more likely to be arrested than Whites. Black community sees a 65.44% higher chance of perpetration, while Whites are 13.05% more likely to be victims
10/ Violence Against the Person Offences
White: 48.56%
Black: 33.02%
Black individuals are 2.71x more likely to be arrested for Violence Against the Person Offences than Whites. They're also 91.87% more likely to be perpetrators.
11/ Youth crime has also become a significant concern.
Incidents involving large groups, predominantly of Black youth, engaging in activities like store looting have become common in the capital
Two-thirds of youth arrested in London are non-White
1/ You learn about these cases, then remember that the Home Office tried to deport a 7/7 bombing survivor and a man who can trace his British ancestry back to the 14th century.
This is the strange case of the deportation of Professor John Tulloch...
2/ Professor John Tulloch is a sociology professor who, after surviving the 7/7 terrorist attacks, was interviewed by newspapers such as The Guardian in 2007.
3/ Five years later, the Home Office and UK Border Agency (UKBA) seized his passport and demanded his deportation.
Why?
Because he was born in India during the British Raj, making him a "British subject without citizenship."
1/ A French think tank has estimated that the significantly lower employment rate of immigrants compared to French nationals results in an economic cost equivalent to approximately 3.4% of France’s GDP
In this thread, I will present further insights on immigration in France
🧵
2/ France has experienced something of its own Boriswave.
After COVID, the number of European migrants dropped precipitously, while the numbers of African and Asian migrants have increased
3/ African foreign nationals are 2-8 times overrepresented for a multiple of crime categories.
2/ Khani is an Iranian who was granted asylum in Germany during the 80s.
The country that offered him refuge has also honoured him with literary awards for his debut novel, noted for its 'blending the melancholy of Iranian prose with the hardness of Afro-American rap.'
Very cool for a 45-year-old man.
3/ On NYE '22 in an Arab area of Berlin, violence broke out and over 30 emergency staff and police officers were injured.
Reports showed that fire trucks were lured into the neighbourhood then attacked with fireworks and projectiles.
2/ Fraser cites a survey as evidence to argue that crime has gone down over the last decade.
However, despite the COVID dip, recorded crime in London has risen by 21.5% during this period
3/ Fraser also shows the murder rate is down
However, the reason murder rates are down is largely due to medical advancements in trauma care.
A study from Harvard found that murder rates would be five times higher if not for these medical developments. The authors said they'd expect a similar trend in Britain.
Additionally, the widespread use of mobile phones has played a significant role in improving emergency responses.
Seven of the passengers listed nursing as their occupation. Assuming all seven went on to work for the NHS in its first years, they would represent just 0.01% of the nursing workforce.
Even 17 years later, only 2% of NHS nurses were from the Jamaica.
3/ "The veterans who returned after fighting for freedom after WWII"
While noble, only 0.25% of British WWII veterans were from the Caribbean, and very few made it to the frontline.
To put it in context, there were almost 10 times more Polish soldiers serving with the British Armed Forces in WWII
