At least I think it was the Express this morning. A number of police forces have collaborated on a solid piece of research to establish whether there is any truth that increases in crime figures are caused by immigration from Eastern Europe. The conclusion was quite clear, based on sound statistical evidence (I'm an academic, and I've seen the study) that there is no evidence that immigrant communities are any more or less involved in crime than the indigenous population.

There was one dissenting voice; one Chief Constable, based on opinion and 'feelings' said that they 'thought there was a problem'.

The headline in the newspaper? Two inch headlines that proclaim 'IMMIGRANTS BRING MORE CRIME'.

Anybody still believe what they read in the papers?
