Crimewatch - majority of suspects are foreign

[dave50]

Has anyone noticed this when they are going through the most wanted? Just a thought. Conclusion is less immigration would mean less crime. No doubt I will be shouted down by all those with their heads buried firmly in the sand.

a check in the court lists in this weeks paper - even though a name is by no way an indictor of race or nationality -

21 people listed and of those 21 19 have "british" sounding names and 2 names look like eastern european

again all 21 could be from outer space for all i actually know

[ummmm]

Stop making sense Fluff....it doesn't suit you!

[jackthehat]

pah, fluffy!

Unless you can come into these threads with statistics to bolster the original argument, I suggest you don't bother!!

Coming in here being all sensible......they don't want your sort in here!

:o)

[ummmm]

lol

[mccfluff]

ok i'll go back to being stoooopid :-)

[mccfluff]

i think those two "highly dangerous prisoners" who got broken out of jail this week were british, of course without seeing their birth cert, passport etc i can't be sure

[smurfchops]

Dave I know what you mean. I agree 100% for what its worth.

[pdust]

do you know for sure they are foreign dave?

i have an arabic surname..... i would say i have fairish looking skin but friends have told me i have mediterranean looking skin.... ive been told by mates i look spanish/italian, a woman i have worked with for months said the other day 'yeah but you're pakistani...' two other people in the workplace have asked on separate occassions how long ive been in england ... these were all comments by people born here. From people not born here..... my husbands friend (libyan) asked my husband if i was arab, another of his friends asked if i was spanish or greek and a couple of family members said that i dont look english (whatever that means lol)

I suppose going by that if my photo was on crimewatch with my name underneath some people would assume i was foreign.....

Whatever the statistics are, that crime has gone up with foreigners coming here, there are still to many being allowed in the UK!

I do know that shoplifting in shops and purse thefts of OAP has gone up in my small market town, since the arrival of Europeans.

[ummmm]

I thought you were foreign Pixi. I say 'foreign' because I didn't give it much thought as to what/where :-)

[mccfluff]

and nothing to do with the recession trt and you know that its the "europeans" knicking the purses etc

[pdust]

is that going by pics ummmm or my crappy english? lol x

[ummmm]

If Jeremy Kyle is anything to go by, most of the white population are too stoned to go out robbing!!

[ummmm]

Pdust...Bit of A, bit of B :-)

[Mick-Talbot]

I hope the Germans are not blaming me for all the crime round here :o(

[pdust]

haha ^^^


lol ummmm ;)

[sandyRoe]

You ever notice how few Old Etonians, or other ex-public schoolboys, you see on the most wanted section?

[ummmm]

That's because they get caught!

JTH Can you also add that there is always an available parking space outside your HoP vistard(?) home, with no yellow lines although there is a probability of about 50% that you are in fact in Westminster.
