‘Sick of being told this!’ Carole Malone blasts ‘multiculturalism doesn’t work’ as shocking migrant sex crime stats revealed

The data, obtained through freedom of information requests by the Centre for Migration Control, reveals certain nationalities are dramatically overrepresented in crime statistics.

Afghans and Eritreans were found to be more than 20 times more likely to be convicted of sexual offences than British citizens.

Overall, foreign nationals were 71 per cent more likely than Britons to be responsible for sex crime convictions between 2021 and 2023.

The analysis marks the first comprehensive examination of conviction rates by nationality in England and Wales.

The Ministry of Justice data shows that 15 per cent of sexual offences were committed by foreign nationals between 2021 and 2023, with a further eight per cent recorded as "unknown nationalities".

Experts believe those labelled "unknown" are likely to largely include non-British nationals.

Romanians accounted for the highest number of sex offence convictions at 987, followed by Poles (208), Indians (148) and Pakistanis (144).

However, when analysed by rate per 10,000 population, Afghans topped the list with 59 convictions per 10,000 – 22.3 times higher than the British rate.

Eritreans followed closely with 53.6 convictions per 10,000 population.

British nationals accounted for 12,619 sex offence convictions, representing a rate of just 2.66 per 10,000 of their population.

The data also revealed foreign nationals were 69 per cent more likely than Britons to be convicted of drug crimes and 25 per cent more likely for theft offences.

Speaking on GB News, Malone said: "I'm sick of being told that this dream of multiculturalism works in this country. It does not work, and this proves it."

She pointed to the stark disparity in crime statistics as evidence of her claim.

"The bottom line is here that multiculturalism doesn't work. We're getting a lot of people from all the countries that you mentioned who are vastly different culturally and in terms of values than Britain," Malone continued.

Her comments specifically highlighted concerns about attitudes towards women.

"They're coming here where women are equal in this country to men. They're allowed to bring their talents to the table. They're safe. They're respected," she said.

"That is not the case with a lot of cultures that are coming here and we see it."

The broadcaster's remarks come as the government prepares to announce new measures targeting foreign criminals.

The data places Albanians at the top of the nationality crime league table by conviction rate.

With 7,653 convictions, Albanians had a rate of 4,028 per 10,000 of their population - a staggering 30 times higher than British nationals.

Moldova, Congo, Namibia and Somalia followed in the rankings.

The analysis revealed 66 nationalities have a higher conviction rate per 10,000 than Britons.

Foreign nationals accounted for between 8.8 per cent and 12 per cent of violent crime convictions, with Congolese having the highest rate at 186 per 10,000.

For drug-related offences, up to 15,500 convictions were attributed to foreign nationals, with Albanians responsible for at least four times more than any other overseas nationality.

Algerians were 18 times more likely to be convicted of theft than British citizens.

Foreign nationals were also overrepresented in weapons possession convictions, accounting for 12.5 per cent - a rate 46 per cent higher than British citizens.

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper will today announce new terror-style powers to tag and restrict the movements of dangerous foreign nationals.

The measures aim to protect the public from foreign criminals who cannot be immediately deported.

A Government spokesman told The Telegraph: "Any foreign nationals who commit heinous crimes should be in no doubt we will do everything to make sure they are not free on Britain's streets."

For those whose removal is being pursued but cannot yet be deported, the government is introducing tougher restrictions.

These include electronic tags, night-time curfews and exclusion zones.

Breaching these conditions would be grounds for arrest and potential imprisonment.

The spokesman added: "We are committed to delivering justice for victims and safer streets for our communities."

The new powers reflect growing concern about the impact of foreign criminals on public safety.

The government has pledged to remove foreign offenders "at the earliest possible opportunity."

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp called the figures "shocking" and demanded action.

"We need to kick out all foreign national offenders," he said.

The Conservatives are tabling an amendment to the Borders Bill to disapply the Human Rights Act to immigration matters.

"It will then be much easier to kick out these dangerous foreign criminals who are responsible for so much crime," Philp added.

Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick, who previously sought to force publication of such data, was equally forthright.

"Not only is mass migration making us poorer, but this data proves it's also making us dramatically less safe," he said.

Jenrick called for radical reduction in overall migration and overhauled security vetting.

"It should not be surprising that migrants from cultures with backward attitudes towards women are more likely to commit sexual crimes here in the UK," he stated.

Robert Bates from the Centre for Migration Control described the figures as laying "bare the cost of mass migration on our home."
