Probe as migrants crimewave exposed

REFORM DEMANDS URGENT ACTION

- By Giles Sheldrick Chief Reporter

THE Home Office has launched an immediate investigation after the scale of the alleged migrant crimewave blighting Britain was exposed.

At least 312 asylum seekers receiving bed and board courtesy of taxpayers have been charged with 708 alleged criminal offences in just three years, it was claimed yesterday.

‘The snapshot shows those lodging in publicly funded hotels and in homes across the UK are accused of crimes including rape, sexual assault and attacking emergency workers.

‘The figures were unveiled as tension mount over the Government’s failure to get to grips with the crisis.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said: “Mass immigration has inflicted a massive strain on our public services, a surge in crime and a worsening housing crisis - and led to fewer British people in work.

“Those who do pay their taxes are left carrying the burden of supporting those who don’t.”

He added: “The fundamental duties of any government are to protect its people, improve their lives — and put them first.

“Politicians work for the people, not the other way round. This principle has been lost.

“The UK can no longer be treated like a charity for the rest of the world: it is time we prioritised our people, our jobs and our culture.”
