#TrevorPhillips asks Lamny about the Hesgeth quote: "dangerous ideologies carried by men in boats"

Lammy refuses to deny Hesgeth's appaling words

"Well, look, if you are coming here illegally ...." He says.

Official UK government agencies do not track or publish crime statistics based on immigration or asylum status. Because criminal records are not linked to a person's refugee application, no official figures exist for the number of murders committed by individuals awaiting refugee status.

But that doesn't fit the narrative that the brown skinned man did the crime 🙄

@Geri

Spot on.

Its funny how often obnoxious political gut feelings are contrary to facts, if any exist and more often the data simply doesn't exist.

@raymierussell it's literally playing on an atavistic fear of the other xx
@Geri well if we're talking about "dangerous ideologies carried by {people from elsewhere}" I'd suggest hegseth et al are carrying deadly dangerous ideologies - and most disturbingly they're being welcomed by our rulers. I choose that word deliberately.
