Interesting article 👀 from a GB News interview with Martin Abrams, the Green leader of Lambeth Council, backing the call to publish crime data by offenders' nationality. Contrary to my initial instinct, I'm now with him on the transparency bit. Given the current climate I think there is a need to publish the data. We need to let independent experts look at it in order to counter the lazy "immigration = crime" rhetoric. Transparency builds trust and given the ICO has recently ordered disclosure which the MoJ is now fighting at tribunal, the secrecy is doing more damage than the data ever could. However, this looks like Abrams speaking for himself, not Green Party policy as I can't find anything from Polanski or the national party backing him up. Maybe a case of a politician who likes going a bit rogue..... which gets me into trouble too! 😅 So, I agree with the principle and watching how this unfolds 👀 🔗 https://london-post.co.uk/green-party-council-leader-backs-release-of-crime-data-showing-nationalities-of-perpetrator 🔗 https://ico.org.uk/media2/5xbhsz2k/ic-416928-d9j8.pdf #police #CrimeData #ukpol #GreenParty #ico
