🚨🇬🇧 THERE YOU HAVE IT. THE FIGURES ARE NOW IN BLACK AND WHITE. The Economist has published an analysis of sexual-offence conviction rates by nationality in England and Wales, using Ministry of Justice data obtained through Freedom of Information requests. And the findings raise serious questions. 📊 SEXUAL-OFFENCE CONVICTION RATES — 2020–2022 Compared with British nationals, after adjusting for age and sex: 🇦🇫 Afghanistan: 7 TIMES HIGHER 🌍 Middle East & North Africa: ~3.5 TIMES HIGHER 🌍 Sub-Saharan Africa: ~2.5 TIMES HIGHER 🌍 Other Europe: ~1.7 TIMES HIGHER 🌏 South Asia: ~1.4 TIMES HIGHER 🌎 Americas & Caribbean: ~1.1 times 🇬🇧 British nationals: 1× (baseline) 🇪🇺 European Union: ~0.8 times 🌏 East Asia & Oceania: ~0.6 times The regional figures are approximate readings from The Economist's chart. 💷 NOW LOOK AT THE UNDERLYING DATA. The Ministry of Justice records examined cover 2010–2024: ▪️ Approximately 8 MILLION recorded cautions and convictions across offence categories. ▪️ Approximately 106,000 sexual-offence records. ▪️ 409 attributed to Afghan nationals — 0.39% of the sexual-offence records over those 15 years. ▪️ Around 80% attributed to British nationals. ▪️ The Economist estimates the Afghan-national population increased from approximately 21,400 in the 2021 Census to 45,000 by the end of 2022. Despite accounting for population changes and adjusting for age and sex, its estimated Afghan-national sexual-offence conviction rate remained approximately SEVEN TIMES the British rate in 2020–2022. ⚠️ These are recorded conviction-rate estimates, NOT the rate at which every crime occurs. The exact multipliers remain uncertain, and nationality does not establish immigration status. But that doesn't make the disparities disappear. ❓ SO HERE ARE MY QUESTIONS FOR THE GOVERNMENT: 1️⃣ Why aren't comprehensive nationality and immigration-status conviction statistics routinely published? 2️⃣ How many convicted foreign nationals are deported after completing their sentences? 3️⃣ How many remain in Britain following conviction? 4️⃣ What preventative action is being taken in response to identified risks? 5️⃣ Why should the public have to rely on FOI requests and journalists to examine these figures? This is about evidence, public safety, victims and government accountability. Not blaming entire communities for the offences of individuals. The British public deserves complete, transparent statistics and policies informed by evidence. 📚 SOURCES: The Economist, 26 October 2026 (republished): hindustantimes.com/world-new… Oxford University Migration Observatory, Migrants and Crime in the UK, August 2026: migrationobservatory.ox.ac.u… 📊 Chart: The Economist / Ministry of Justice / ONS. 🔁 SHARE THE EVIDENCE.
