US diplomats told to make a note of migrants' crimes in Britain

Source: The Times

The Trump administration has told American diplomats in the UK to collect data on crimes committed by migrants, saying British voters have been “let down” on immigration by Conservative and Labour politicians alike.

In a cable sent to American embassies last week, diplomats were told to begin reviewing “human rights abuses” committed by migrants in their host country.

The memo was sent to embassies across Europe as well as Australia, New Zealand and Canada, but in a sign that the White House is increasingly determined to intervene in Britain’s border struggles, the UK was singled out as an egregious example for its alleged failure to curb migration and its supposed tolerance of “organised rape gangs”.

A senior US State Department official said British people had voted for “reform” of mass migration but had been repeatedly “let down” by their politicians.

Organised rape gangs?
Yes people are frustrated with immigration here and yes the Labour Party is doing very little except trying to out-reform Reform (which has the potential to fuck over legal immigrants like myself).
But there are no organised raped gangs and the overwhelming majority of crimes are committed by ordinary, native born Brits.
Fuck these people with rusty spikes 🤬
