80% increase in pickpocketing on the tube in London. Guess who's responsible?

"On a more serious note ... "The number of reports of theft on the London Underground has increased by more than 80% in the past three years."
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-48747397

"EU net migration to the UK has fallen since the vote"
https://fullfact.org/immigration/eu-citizens-brexodus/

So immigration rates falling, but crime rates increasing. What does this tell us?
  1. Crime is caused by immigration
  2. Crime is caused by other factors, such as sacking 20,000 police officers
Once again, the facts suggest that the problems are caused by government policy.

I guess somebody will now say that police officers patrolling streets and the underground don't reduce crime. But police officers disagree with this, as do statistics.

Stop making tax cuts to the rich, invest in our communities, put police on the streets and public transport, provide opportunities, and crime will reduce.

"Britain’s most senior police officer has criticised the government’s austerity programme for forcing a cut in police numbers at a time when he says more officers are needed."

We all watch those crime/999 type programmes that follow the police undercover catching pickpockets and shoplifters - usually in Oxford Street. I honestly can't remember a good ol' British shoplifter or pickpocket getting caught. That's another skill we seem to be losing to Johnny Foreigner! Have you EVER heard of British pickpocket/shoplifting gangs operating in other countries? Me neither so stop defending them!

In the OP, the BTP officer said it was an influx of foreigners getting their last dibs in before Brexit slams the door on them so it's not just a racist opinion of someone on here, it's come direct from those that are making the arrests and they should know!

Because they are all working in the home counties - come to Chelmsford, you'll find hundreds of white British pickpockets, drug dealers, burglars, car thieves and the like, they are doing very well for themselves.

Also, there's probably rules on not making arrests of British nationals public on TV

It's a well known fact that specific migrants bring with them endemic crime related to their culture
 
in fact, if the pound keeps getting weaker, tourists will increase. It'll be like Benidorm in a few years.
