The overwhelming number of migrants to the UK are Muslims, who arrive because they wish to take advantage of the cornucopia of benefits the generous welfare state of Britain is prepared to lavish upon them. They receive free housing, sometimes in upscale hotels that the government has commandeered for their benefit. They receive free medical care on the National Health Service. They receive free education, including language training. They receive family allowances if they arrive with a family. They even receive spending money. Yet this is not enough for many of these migrants, and they round out their monthly sums through crime — robberies on the street or on transport (buses, trains, the Underground), house burglaries, shoplifting, and the drug trade all contribute to their care and feeding.
The thefts on transport alone show how malign has been the effect of these Muslims on public safety.
More on the latest figures can be found here: “Report: Migrants Make Up 80% of Train Theft Arrests in the UK,” by Rebeka Kis, European Conservative, January 16, 2026:
Migrants are vastly overrepresented in UK crime statistics, with new data revealing they are the suspects in 80% of all train theft arrests despite making up just 10% of the population.
Analysis from the Centre for Migration Control (CMC) shows that foreign nationals accounted for 79.3% of arrests for theft of passenger property across Britain’s transport network during 2024–2025.
A total of 9,771 arrests were recorded by British Transport Police over the period. Of these, 3,688 involved foreign nationals, representing 37.7% of all arrests. Migrants also accounted for 36.6% of arrests for sexual offences, 35.7% for violent crimes, and 39.6% for drug-related offences. In raw numbers, this equates to 225 migrant arrests for sexual offences, 900 for violence, 187 for drugs, and 304 for theft of passenger property.
Robert Bates, Research Director of the CMC, told GB News: “Immigration has caused a crime wave on British trains and public transport. Immigrants are vastly overrepresented in arrest figures, particularly when it comes to theft.”…
The issue is compounded by continued illegal migration. On January 5th, 2026, the first migrant group of the year arrived in the UK after crossing the English Channel in sub-zero temperatures. Dozens made the journey from Calais, where temperatures dropped to -1°C, to Dover, which recorded lows of -3°C, with several treated in French hospitals for hypothermia. The overcrowded small boats now average 64 passengers each.
Nothing will stop the tremendous flow of illegal migrants — not freezing cold, not the danger of overcrowded and unseaworthy boats, not the sums they have to pay the people smugglers who bring them from the Middle East and North Africa across the Mediterranean in unseaworthy and overloaded boats, and then up through France or Italy to the English Channel, and then, illegals all, they cross in those boats to the UK, where they promptly start receiving the British welfare state’s many benefits.
Keir Starmer, the least popular prime minister in the last century, has repeatedly promised to get a grip on the immigrant problem, but has yet to start sending those illegals, as soon as they arrive, back to their countries of origin. He has said nothing about a halt to all Muslim migration, nor has he done anything about deporting Muslims convicted of crimes back to their countries of origin. As a consequence, every week there is a new defection of a high-ranking Conservative politician to the Reform Party; the latest is the Shadow Minister of Justice, Robert Jenrick.
The crimes that Muslim migrants commit in the UK, as elsewhere in Europe, are out of control. Muslims make up 10% of the UK population, but constitute 80% of those who commit thefts on public transport. In addition, still limiting the figures to crimes committed on public transport, Muslims are responsible for 37% of sexual assaults on trains, busses and the Underground, or almost four times their percentage of the population in the UK. They also commit 36% of violent crimes, including murder, and 40% of drug-related offenses. And Muslims are entirely responsible for the most horrific of crimes — the gang-rapes that over many years have been committed by Pakistani grooming gangs on tens of thousands of young English girls, who are first plied with drink and drugs, then raped, and then handed around to be repeatedly raped by others, that is, by fellow members of these Muslim gangs. For years the police did nothing to investigate these gangs, so fearful were they of being accused of “racism” and “Islamophobia.” Now that particular taboo has been broken, and the gang members are being hauled into court and given long sentences for ruining the lives of tens of thousands of vulnerable English girls, often from troubled families, whom they took advantage of in such a barbaric fashion.
Europeans remember the assurance that German Chancellor Angela Merkel gave to her own people when she opened wide the gates to almost a million migrants, overwhelmingly Muslim, in 2015. She proclaimed “Wir schaffen das!,” or “We Can Do This!” No, it turned out, the Germans really couldn’t “do this” — that is, successfully integrate a large number of Muslims into their advanced Western society. Muslims do not want to be integrated into a society of Infidels who are, the Qur’an teaches them, the “most vile of created beings.” (98:6) To submit to such a society makes no sense for Muslims, who know that they are the “best of peoples” (3:110). As Muhammad himself said, “Islam is to dominate and not to be dominated.”
The experiment has been tried: 44 million Muslims are now living in Europe. The political elites have allowed them in, without knowing much about Islam, with some of the most gullible even believing that Islam, or what they fondly call the “real Islam,” is a “religion of peace.” The large-scale presence of Muslims in Western Europe has created a situation for the indigenous non-Muslims that — as I never tire of saying — is much more unpleasant, expensive, and physically dangerous than would be the case without that large-scale presence. In the UK, the evidence for this conclusion is not only the Pakistani grooming gangs, but also the thefts on public transport, of which, it has just been revealed, Muslims commit 80%. Now there is no room for indulging in fantasies about the rich benefits of the “diversity” that Muslims bring to Europe. What they have brought is a world of woe.
