AIBU to think migrant sex crime data should be published? And to wonder why Labour are blocking the release of that data? PART 2

Labour Blocks Release of Migrant Crime Data Part 2.

Part 1 linked in comments below.

'Victims of serious crimes and their families have joined forces to demand that the Labour government publish detailed data on offences committed by foreign nationals, accusing ministers of withholding information that is “clearly and legitimately in the public interest”.

Among the signatories are victims of high-profile sexual offences and families of murder victims. One signatory is a 14-year-old victim of a sexual assault in Epping allegedly committed by an illegal immigrant, in the same Essex town where asylum seekers were housed at the controversial Bell Hotel.

Fiona Goddard, a survivor of rape-gang grooming who has campaigned publicly about her experiences, has also signed the letter.

Eight relatives of Rhiannon Whyte, a hotel worker murdered by a Sudanese national, are also among those backing the demand.'

YABU - Of course Labour shouldn't publish the data. Why should they? None of our business.

YANBU - They should publish the data as requested. The British public have paid for it, are paying for the government, and they are supposed to work for us. We have a right to know. Not publishing it makes it look like they are hiding something.

The other thread, will go here :)

Im here. Thanks for the new thread x

We've - migrated - to another thread! Linked above x

Probably a good idea to ask MNHQ to delete this @Fabiansrule

Hello poster - I've just seen the other '2nd thread' was deleted due to malicious prolific posting by a certain poster. Perhaps we can carry on here, as we were, and hopefully the poster won't ruin this thread (on purpose).

If a poster does start being rude / frenetically posting nonsense, best ignored. Then we might be able to continue the debate.

Good job I forget that, eh @BIWI

'The migrant crime cover up
Why is Labour fighting to keep migrant crime statistics secret?

The Labour government has taken the egregious step of launching a legal bid to prevent the publication of migrant crime statistics.

Following a ruling by the Information Commissioner’s Office that the Ministry of Justice had “not demonstrated” any justifiable reason for withholding 2018 to 2024 data on convictions by nationality, the first instinct of former Justice Secretary, David Lammy was to go running to the courts.

It was a freedom of information request by the Centre for Migration Control that sparked this stand off, and we will be deploying every available mechanism to block the blocking of this data. We intend to fight it in court.

'As a party that in opposition talked incessantly about the need for greater transparency and accountability in public life, Labour has found that when in office these are rather inconvenient features of a democracy.'

Checking in 👍

Somewhat irritating the other thread was bombarded out of existence, so thanks for this one op.

Yes..

We can keep this one to record developments (or not), on Labour's bid to suppress the migrant crime data..

Thanks OP.

Let's see how long this thread lasts. The other one still hidden.
