The True Scale of Foreign Sex Offenders in Britain
According to stark new Ministry of Justice data, record numbers of foreign sex and violent offenders are now in UK prisons. The Telegraphhas the story.
Some 1,731 foreign-national sex offenders were in prison as of June this year, up by 9.9% in 12 months. The rate of increase was nearly three times that of Britons, with the number imprisoned for sex offences up 3.8%, according to data published by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) on Thursday.
The number of foreign violent offenders held in jails is also at its highest since records began a decade ago. It has risen by 8.8% in a year to 3,250, nearly double the rate of 4.8% for Britons imprisoned for violence.
Foreign nationals account for one in eight (12.3%) of the 87,000 prisoners in England and Wales, the highest number in at least a decade and the second highest proportion on record, just down from 12.5% in 2021.
Foreign nationals account for more than one in 10 (10.6%) sex offenders and more than one in 10 (10.5%) of prisoners held for violence against the person.
However, the figures show that foreign offenders are twice as likely as Britons to be in jail for drug offences, accounting for nearly one in five (19.7%) of all prisoners held for drug dealing or possession.
Albanians – who account for a disproportionate number of drug offences – remain the largest foreign national group in prison with 1,193 inmates, although this is down from the 2023 peak of 1,475. They are followed by Poles (759), Romanians (716), Irish (707), Lithuanians (339) and Jamaicans (338).
There have been notable increases over the past year in the number of foreign nationals held in jails from India (up 17%), Iranians (up 10%), Afghans (up 28%), Sudanese (up 32%) and Syrians (up 46%). …
Attacks on prison officers in England and Wales have also reached a new high. There were 10,568 assaults on staff in the year to March, 7% up on the previous year. The rate of staff assaults – per 1,000 prisoners – also rose by 7% to a new peak.

Not much to say really except kick the buggers out.
Forthwith.
Until that is done, we’re wasting our breath.

One wonders how much these stats are distorted by our judiciary’s contortions in allowing for “cultural differences” as mitigating circumstances when sentencing in order to keep Muslim convicts out of prison.

These foreign criminals are not here by mistake, accident, oversight, or incompetence. They’ve been deliberately imported in huge numbers by our indescribably wicked rulers. For example, why does our country need tens of thousands of Albanian criminals? What sane country would welcome them? What purpose do they really serve? They’ve been imported to further the destruction of our society, and the elimination of our people and culture.
Never mind foreign nationals, black and “asian” ethnicities are significantly over represented in the UK prison population. “Asian” – must be all those violent Japanese people we have here….

Why any female would vote for the Westminster Uni-Party is beyond me. They are voting for themselves and their daughters to be at greater risk of sexual violence.

Yes, spare a thought for all the Albanians, Poles, Romanians, Irish, Lithuanians, Jamaicans, Indians, Pakistanis, Portuguese and Iraqi rapists & murderers fleeing from the terrible wars in their own countries…Not.
