Abstract

Immigration and ‘statistics’ have a long and intimate relationship. It usually takes the form of abusing the latter to foster hostility to the former. The most recent example is the government’s ‘go home’ poster van campaign, which the Advertising Standards Authority retrospectively banned for using misleading arrest statistics. That is misleading as in false, wrong, incorrect.
