Top
10: nationality breakdown (illustrated) shows Britain hosts a 'United Nations
of Crime', with offenders from 177 different countries.

Daily Mail reports for the first time, the Home Office
has published a detailed breakdown of the offences and nationality of every
criminal from around the world, who is currently on its books having been
convicted of offences in this country. The figures: 12,000: Size of the army of
foreign criminals living in Britain today, including 700 murderers and 500
rapists.
The nationality breakdown shows Britain
hosts a 'United Nations of Crime', with offenders from 177 different countries,
revealing there are more Jamaican criminals here than any other nationality.
Second on the list is Nigeria, followed by Poland and Somalia. The top ten
countries alone account for more than 5,500 criminals.
The figures were uncovered by Labour’s immigration
spokesman David Hanson using a question tabled in Parliament.
He told the Mail: ‘Foreign
criminals have no place in Britain and there is no excuse for ministers not
deporting them as early as possible.’
The sad fact is that the overall population of Nigerians
residing in the UK is as many as 106,000 (this figure seems to me too low!!!) engaged in very lawful and productive activities, not to mention those who are now naturalized
British citizens like Ben Okri, Novelist, Sophie Okonedo, actor, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Oscar-nominated actor, Christine Ohuruogu the 400 metres sprint champion, Philips Idowu-Taylor, tripple jump British record holder, and
Chuka Umunna the current rising star of the Labour party. There are scholars, scientists, doctors,
nurses, sportsmen/women and various professionals contributing value to the British economy. But 832
people are working hard to spoil all of these!
