The Labour Government has been accused of trying to block a report on migrant crimes from being released. The Ministry of Justice has launched legal action to prevent the publication of crime statistics by nationality.
The Information Commissioner’s Office has ordered the department to release conviction data from between 2018 and 2024, which the department is now appealing.
The Centre of Migration Control (CMC), a think tank, requested data on violence, sexual offences, drugs, arson, criminal damage, weapons, theft, and robbery under the Freedom of Information Act.
The Ministry of Justice has argued that the data would be too expensive, exceeding the £600 per request limit, and could risk identifying individuals,
The Information Commissioner has rejected the reason cost, saying the department didn’t adequately justify this wirth a cost estimate. It did agree that releasing very small data points could be a privacy risk, telling the department to only release results of five or more.
In response, the Government has appealed to the First-tier Tribunal in an attempt to avoid releasing the data. The new Education Secretary, Lucy Powell, says the “migrant crisis” is nothing but a “dog whistle”.

The last reserve of leftist retards is the denial of the gathering of statistics. Understand that anybody that restricts your access to information is hiding information. It aint rocket surgery.
What has happened to towns who did nothing to deserve it, like little Piddington village, will happen to all of Britain, unless there is fundamental political change.
It’s not right. Not right at all. https://t.co/70IKleHGlk— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 25, 2026
This statistic is so important to the public. It’s a crime to not release it.
There ought to be a tree on Tyburn instead of that marker in the sidewalk where it used to be.
“UK Resident” or like usual they just break in to where the “resident” was dumped. Because every Welshman wears a beard, turban, and kurta and yells “Allahu akbar” while decapitating someone.
Lucy Powell.
Ironic ..
Add just two letters, and “migrants” become “immigrants”.
Not UK, but in continental Europe the master/ hi IQ criminal burglar gangs are from the Balkans. Some are Muzz some are Christians such as Serbians. The Balkan wars toughened them up.
Albanians criminals are dangerous in UK and most of the boat people fake asylum seekers/scammers are Albanians.
Another cog in the wheel to communism, just like the dems do here.
Ya, nevermind that knife sawing your head off, it's the info that you don't need to know, boy-o.
Hell - the Muslim Mayor of London published an article abut how it’s really safe and those who say it ain’t are the liars - but, being a Muslim, he can safely walk in the Muslim -controlled “no-go zones”. ALL governments eventually rot from the inside.
Also "misgreants" which is a fun portmanteau, but not a fun welfare tourist.
“The new Education Secretary, Lucy Powell, says the “migrant crisis” is nothing but a “dog whistle”.”
Labour and the other left-wingers love illegals but hate their own countrymen.
