And so did we. Lizzie McNeill has been on the case. Hello Lizzie. Hi Tim. Well, first things first. This 0.8% of the population figure is specifically counting asylum seekers in asylum hotels. Now in Dorset, these are mainly in the Bournemouth area. Got it. And they're said to be committing 44% of the alleged sex offences. So where's that figure from?

Onko se epäonnistunut? Viime vuonna Dorset-politiikka vastasi tiedonvastaisuuteen kysymykseen, että kuinka monta ihmistä Dorsetissa, joka asuu migraattisissa hotellissa, on haastettu seksuaalisen haasteen. Ja vastaus oli yksi. Yksi? Kyllä. Se oli suurimmat tiedot, joita kirjoitettiin, mutta he sitten lähettivät minulle uudistuksen, että 8 ihmistä, jotka asuvat asylinhotellissa, on haastettu seksikriimejä 1.1.2025-31.3.2026.

Well, the data isn't that helpful. Police don't break the crime statistics down by immigration status. We could instead look at crimes committed by British nationals versus foreign nationals. And what does that tell us? Well, the most recent data from Dorset Police from 2024 and 2025 shows that 7% of all sexual offence crimes were committed by foreign nationals. If you add on people with dual British nationality, then that rises to 8%.

I also contacted Annunziata Rees-Mogg, but she didn't respond to me. But she did later tweet an apology, stating that she'd used AI to check the sources. Uh-oh. Yeah. And even just after she posted, people were in her comment section asking Grock, which is Elon Musk's AI, whether Rees-Mogg's statement was true. And Grock said it was, and cited police data.
