‘Uncomfortable conversation': UK immigration and crime rates a result of ‘no oversight'
Writer and broadcaster Esther Krakue says UK crime rates are an 'uncomfortable conversation' the government needs to have.
'You'll not be surprised that one of the most disgusting quasi-defences of the Pakistani grooming gang's here in Britain has been meeting with people from the left saying but white people are still more likely to be part of grooming gangs,' Ms Krakue said.
'There's no reason for one group from South Asia to be overrepresented in orders of magnitude in a heinous crime which involves the underage abuse and gang rape of literally children – right, and so they try and use this discourse to try and skew the figures.
'The reality is, you know, if certain groups are overrepresented in certain crimes the onus is on society to look at that – but because that's an uncomfortable conversation … for the government to have, because then they'd have to admit that they've had virtually no oversight.'

Pakistani troops kill 14 militants in hideout raid
Pakistan's security forces have raided a militant hideout and killed 14 insurgents during a shootout in the country's northwest. The overnight raid was conducted on the reported presence of Pakistani Taliban belonging to an Indian proxy in North Waziristan, a district in northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, the military said in a statement. New Delhi did not immediately comment. Pakistan's military said sanitisation operations are being conducted to eliminate Pakistani Taliban groups it says are sponsored by India. Pakistani authorities often accuse India of backing outlawed Baloch Liberation Army and Pakistani Taliban groups that commit violence in Pakistan. The accusations have intensified since May in the wake of heightened tensions between the nuclear-armed nations. There has been a cross-border escalation between Pakistan and India over the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir, which is divided between the two but sought in its entirety by each. The Pakistani Taliban, which calls itself Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, or TTP, has been emboldened since its allies, the Afghan Taliban, returned to power in 2021. Many TTP leaders and fighters have taken sanctuary in Afghanistan. Pakistan's security forces have raided a militant hideout and killed 14 insurgents during a shootout in the country's northwest.
