No I can't really be arsed either I'm arguing on facebook with somebody about Chris Packham, and I really should be doing some work
I’ll go out on a whim and say the ‘Centre for Migration Control’ aren’t totally reliable. Not that this isn’t a huge problem for various reasons. I’d like to think the option to just say ‘sorry but not our problem’ was explored and impossible legally.
Quick google search on the Centre for migration control Who is the Centre for Migration Control? Hi there, I recently came across an article claiming nearly a quarter of sexual offences were committed by foreign nationals. This data came from the Centre for Migration Control, seemingly through a freedom of information request to the MOJ. I had not heard of CMC so looked them up, I’m very confused by what I found. CMC describe themselves as “a think tank committed to controlling and reducing migration to Britain” The website has no information on members, employees etc anything like that. They have 11 published research reports, 3 of these 11 cannot be opened. All are written by a man called Robert Bates who refers to himself as the Research Director. Centre for Migration Control is the trading name of Athelney Campaigns Ltd Athelney Campaigns Ltd is a private limited company, incorporated in March 2024. They have one listed individual. The director Robert Bates. His is the only name I can find connected to the company. I attempted to look for the data from the FOI on the CMC website, but couldn’t find it so looked thought all the FOI requests to the MOJ that are public. I found a few requesting data in some way referring to nationality/immigration status etc and criminality. All were still being processed or had been refused. Interestingly I found three requests from a Rob Bates. I can’t say if it’s the same man. But these were the three requests; “Translation, interpretation and language services costs” “Deportation orders against foreign criminals” “Expenditure on equality, diversity and inclusivity” Sorta seems like it could be him. What I can actually find on Robert Bates is odd. One report on the CMC website ends with “Robert Bates, Research Director at the Centre for Migration Control said: quote from Robert” Robert Bates wrote that and every other report, he’s quoting himself. The CMC supposed “data and research” has been used by a number of papers, mainly the Sun, the daily express and GBnews (no surprise there) But anything I can find either comes from already released data or from FOI requests by the CMC which I can find no evidence of. Which even for this lot is reckless. CMC has 11.2k followers on Twitter (X). Robert Bates has appeared on GBnews multiple times He was supposedly the research executive for Get Britain Out. And a researcher for Campaign for Democratic Trade, who I can only find on Twitter (X)and have 6 followers This is what I’ve been able to find. It seems like you run around in circles. Almost everything on Bates is claims from news reports, no one else seems to be connected to CMC and I there doesn’t appear to be any evidence of the data they supposedly received through a FOI request I was wondering if anyone had come across the CMC or Robert Bates. And if you have any information on either (To clarify I am in no way support these outlets or what they stand for. I’m just incredibly fascinated to see where this leads, knowing their habit of using dodge sources) https://www.reddit.com/r/GreenAndPleasant/comments/1j8agii/who_is_the_centre_for_migration_control/
Because I could create a limited company tomorrow called ‘Really Good Experts on Migration and Other Stuff, Honest Mate’ and it wouldn’t mean I am an expert on migration and other stuff nor honest about it.
42. Only 3 Labour prime ministers in my life. Tories reigned from 79 to 97 under Thatcher (79 to 90....I think), then Major, then we got New Labour under Blair, then Brown.....I was 14 when Blair took over so didnt give two ****s about politics (what 14 year old does). Didnt really pay attention until the coalition came in 2010 was it? And my Working Tax credits dried up and I was like "Huh, so those elections do actually matter!"
