For the record, before I am lambasted, I am very much in favour of controlled immigration. I also have good reason to be in favour of immigrants from Eastern Europe. So please, try to refrain from the usual attacks.

me283, no lambasting - just interested in any figures you could quote that would back up your proposal; how many immigrants were found guilty of crimes in the last nn years.
Not a leading question - I just don't know; and rather than the government making policy on the hoof (I know - what would be the change), wouldn't it be useful to show that deportation would make a difference to the crime figures?
