Chris Philp is a Conservative politician and Shadow Home Secretary, who wants the truth about Muslim crime, and its punishment, to no longer be hidden by the government and the police, but made available to an increasingly anxious public. More on his views can be found here: “‘Labour must act over shocking asylum seeker rape revelations,’” by Chris Philp, Express, August 4, 2025:

We have been told by the left that allowing high levels of immigration is a matter of compassion and that to question it is somehow wrong. We were lectured by human rights lawyers like Keir Starmer that numbers don’t matter and nor does our own culture.

But as we witness waves of immigration without integration, no one in good faith can now accept the left’s arguments any longer. It has never been clearer that the public has had enough of uncontrolled immigration.

Rising crime, strained communities, public sector costs running to billions and pressure on housing can be traced back to failures in immigration policy. Parallel societies have developed in some parts of the country, with completely separate cultures and social norms that bear no relation to British life.

Muslims do not want to integrate into British society. They are happy to pocket every conceivable benefit offered by the generous welfare state, which has caused great expense to the Exchequer, but they know that, as the Qur’an instructs, they “must not take Jews or Christians as friends, for they are friends only with each other.” They also cannot be expected to integrate into a society fashioned by non-Muslims, who are “the most vile of created beings.” They live in the U.K., but to the precise extent that they hold fast to Islam, they cannot become truly British.

Evidence has recently come to light that certain nationalities have a very high propensity to commit crime. Afghan men, for example, are around 20 times more likely to commit sex offences than average. Congolese nationals are many times more likely to commit violent crime. And yet the full data on this issue is still not available.

This is precisely what had happened with the grooming gang scandal. They operated within a conspiracy of silence and cover up for years, because the majority of perpetrators were of Pakistani origin. Concerns around the demographics were dismissed as racist. We Conservatives have made clear this can never happen again.

Labour doesn’t want the public to know just how much of the crime in the U.K. is committed by Muslim migrants, nor what sentences they were given, nor whether at the end of their sentences they were deported. It realizes that if the awful truth were known, an enraged British public would demand that Muslim migration be stopped, a position that not Labour, but the Conservatives and Reform parties, embrace. Labour’s current leader, Keir Starmer, was head of the Crown Prosecution Service during the years when there was almost no prosecution of the Pakistani grooming gangs; that’s a period of his life that he wishes could be forgotten.

Chris Philp has made the case for informing the public, that is starting to show up in numbers at the well-appointed hotels in picturesque villages where so many of these Muslim immigrants are now being housed, to protest this state of affairs. The public no longer fears being tarred with the word “racist.” Labour is sinking in the polls, in large part because of its failure to confront the Muslim migrant problem in all of its aspects, from the cost to taxpayers of supporting them, to the crimes they commit in such profusion. Kemi Badenoch, Shadow Prime Minister, and Nigel Farage, head of the Reform Party, are hoping to take Starmer’s place, and both are eminently sensible on the immigrant question.
