New figures, released by Dorset Police via a Freedom of Information request, show that White British people make up the significant majority of arrests in the area.
These figures contradict the narrative being described in “patriotic” protests outside of migrant hotels, on social media and on right wing media outlets like GB news and The New Culture Forum, who focus exclusively on crimes committed by immigrants.
In fact, a separate Freedom of Information request submitted to Dorset Police requesting: “How many sexual offences have been recorded, resulting in charges of males residing in migrant hotels in Dorset (including the Bibby Stockholm barge when it was operating, the Chine Hotel, the Roundhouse Hotel and the Britannia Hotel, all in Bournemouth)” gained a single word response: “One.”
“Violence against a person” made up the majority of arrests, with a total of 2510 in the BCP area over the two year period. 1859 of these were arrests of White British people.
The next highest figures come from ethnicity either Not Stated, Any Other or Blank.
While this does skew the data somewhat, if you account for the ethnic population of the area being around 90% White British, it would be reasonable to assume at least some of those inconclusive categories were also White British citizens.
Other ethnicities, even when grouped together (i.e. Indian, Chinese, Pakistani under the bracket “Asian”) accounted for around 5% of arrests.
The data is specific to arrests of over 18’s and uses six of the most common offences.
