    Shock statistic

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/liv...n_page_id=1770

    Foreigners carry out one in every five killings in Britain, police figures reveal

    One in every five murders or manslaughters in England and Wales is committed by a foreigner, police figures revealed.

    In one area of London, the figure is one in three.


    This is despite the fact that foreigners represent only around one in 16 of the general population.

    The statistics are so alarming that Home Secretary Jacqui Smith will hold a migrant crime summit on Thursday amid worries that police are struggling to cope.

    According to figures revealed under the Freedom of Information Act, the 96 foreign nationals convicted of homicide last year were from 28 different countries.

    They were involved in 21 per cent of the total of 461 murder and manslaughter cases.


    Immigration is good, tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime. It all adds up now.

    ID cards will sort 'em all out!

    What we need is a great big melting pot,
    Big enough to take the world and all it's got.

    Keep it stirring for a hundred years or more,
    There'll be coffee coloured people by the score!

            So we just need to deport 1 in 5 immigrants -

              Shock horror. Most of the victims were immigrants as well.

                Basically, it is fun with statistics. The poorer sections of the community happen to have more crime. Immigrants tend to be over represented in the poorer communities. So if you corrected for that bias, you'd find that the immigrants actually commit less crime.

                    What you're suggesting is of course just fun with statistics.
