Britain’s long-assumed immunity to the migrant crime patterns witnessed across Western Europe for over a decade now is, unfortunately, rapidly evaporating.

Newly released arrest data from the British Transport Police has revealed that the country’s train network—once a symbol of everyday order—has become a frontline in a widening public-safety crisis.

According to figures obtained through a Freedom of Information request by the Centre for Migration Control, foreign nationals now account for an overwhelming share of arrests on Britain’s trains, with 40% of violent crime suspects being non-British.

The figures are stark—and deeply unsettling for a nation that has been told for years by a globalist elite, openly hostile to the interests of English, Welsh, Scots, and Northern Irish, that unrelenting mass migration from culturally alien countries carries no social cost.

In the 2024–2025 reporting year, it has been revealed that a jaw-dropping 80%of all arrests for theft of passenger property on Britain’s trains and subways involved foreign nationals. Across all offenses, migrants made up roughly 38% of arrests, despite representing a far smaller share of the population.

Meanwhile, foreign nationals accounted for roughly 40% of arrests linked to drug offenses, and more than a third of those arrested for sexual offenses.

The raw numbers reveal the following: nearly 3,700 of the 9,771 arrests recorded across England, Wales, and Scotland involved non-British nationals. These are not marginal figures—they describe a systemic imbalance playing out daily in public spaces used by millions.

Researchers at the Center for Migration Control argue the data reflects policy failure. They note that Britain has imported large numbers of people from high-risk regions while dismantling meaningful border control and deportation enforcement.

Speaking to the press, CMC research director Robert Bates said Britain’s trains have been rendered unsafe by political negligence. He insists that any government serious about protecting its citizens would halt mass immigration and begin large-scale removals of foreign criminals.

This train snapshot is part of a much broader picture. Separate FOI requests submitted to police forces across England and Wales reveal that nearly 173,000 arrests of foreign nationals were recorded nationwide in the year ending March 2025—equivalent to one arrest every three minutes.

Of those arrests, more than 51,000 were for violent offenses and over 11,000 involved sexual crimes. These are not minor infractions. These are offenses that directly shatter community trust and personal security.

The arrest rate tells an even more troubling story. Migrants are estimated to be around one-third more likely to be arrested than native Brits—a disparity that undermines claims that crime is evenly distributed across society.

Those who have spoken out about mass migration for years say this confirms what ordinary Brits have experienced firsthand. Stations, platforms, and late-night services increasingly feel like zones of heightened risk.

Britain is not an outlier. Across continental Europe, similar patterns have emerged wherever mass migration has been pursued without assimilation or enforcement.

In France, official data shows that a majority of violent robberies and sexual assaults on Paris public transport are committed by foreigners—many from North Africa, despite representing a small fraction of the population.

Germany tells the same story. In multiple federal states, foreigners are responsible for a majority of crimes on trains and at stations, prompting warnings from lawmakers that rail hubs are becoming de facto no-go areas.

Italy has likewise seen a surge in violence and harassment targeting train staff, including fatal attacks and repeated sexual incidents involving migrant offenders. Unions there warn that workers now operate under constant psychological strain.

Back in Britain, policy groups are calling for decisive action rather than further reports. Proposals include a visa “red list” barring high-risk countries and automatic deportation for foreign nationals convicted of crimes.

Advocates argue that policies like these would restore the basic principle that a nation’s first duty is to protect its own people, adding that borders exist to defend a national home, not to dissolve it.
