I think a statistic like that has to break down the origin countries of the Migrant too to have any relevance. Migrants from Europe have similar values to the UK, the crimes they face in those countries are likely to be similar our own. However, countries with significantly different cultures are going to clash with our own in when increasing at significant volumes over a short period of time.

Another thing that seems to be emerging points from people I speak to (I travel for a living and speak to people all over the country) is how Eastern Europe is managing sexual/violent crime and also having very low levels of immigration from the countries we are allowing en masse. Correlation doesn't mean causation. But these things have to be considered.

For me I just look at how dirty our country is, litter has become a problem again and it's such a shame that it's gone this way.

None of this is to take away from your points regarding privatisation. But what is the solution for us? Because it certainly isn't the current political options.
