Yup. There's no context on how many offences one might expect from a similarly sized cohort from the UK population as a whole.

It is basically "Mexicans eat family pets" level racism from our resident Magatroll.

You shouldn't be surprised because fascism is creeping into British society. I have CXRAndy on ignore. But let's say, and just for an example, I release his latest posts for scrutiny and apply my legally trained brain - you want to see what happens? I can practically guarantee fascism included. Here goes ...

This is an example of ''temporal compression''. Therefore the headline claim is false.

While I haven't fact checked every case, there is no doubt that some are true. However, the dates between arrest, charging, and conviction show temporal compression. In one case, the sentence was 14 months, and the perpetrator was released since he has spent that amount of time on remand.

Therefore the time frame is not 12 days, and probably more like 24 months.

The next signs are cohort fallacy. Asylum seekers and migrants are mixed here - these are different cohorts. Neither is it clear that all are ''channel migrants''.

Next sign - ''arrested''. Being arrested of a crime is not proof of guilt, neither is being charged. The only relevant status is ''convicted''.

Next sign is numerical misinterpretation. Migrant populations invariably add to population numbers. If the population growth comes from native population growth, then crimes stats grow proportionately.

The claim therefore is false, intends stigmatisation, and intends panic. These are features of fascism.

I guess I'd better put my pack of Top Trumps away then...
