Says nothing about immigration. Just says that there are some very nasty people out there.

Hmm, because Harold Shipman was *such* a nice individual. People aren't criminals because of their racial background, or did this not occur to you?

And if you look at the lists of wanted people, it seems as though a lot of our home grown nasties have illegally emmigrated to Spain / France. It cuts both ways.

I was just struck by the high proportion of this list that have immigrated to the UK - 10 out of the 12....I have no doubt that there are just as many native brits who are rapists murderers etc....I just don't understand why the list crimewatch have has such a high proportion of immigrants on it. Does it mean the government / police can't keep track of dagerous immigrants?

Michael Jamison - From Turkey
Desmond O'Sullivan - From Ireland
Nicholas Hughes - Yorkshire ( now they are abad lot )


10 out of 12 not indigenous to the UK.

What does it say to me? The BBC and police are obviously racist as they only focus mainly on poeple who did not originate in the UK

If they were born in the uk, it's more likely that the police will be able to track them down, (previous convictions, hospital records etc) and so they are less likely to appear on these lists. If they are illegal immigrants, then the police will not have as much (if any) information on them, and so it will be harder for them to be found.

I'm not saying that's the only reason, but I suspect it's a factor...

There you, shows you what jumping to conclusions purely on name does for you. I didn't read the blurb, I just picked up on the more UK / Eire sounding names.
