(Spot the missing word) - Criminal gangs costing Britain £40 billion a year

Click to view larger version

A report on the BBC Website today reveals that "criminal gangs" are costing Britain £40 billion a year. The report does not say who these "criminal gangs" are, but goes on to state that many have connections with "failed states, such as Somalia". (I took a screen shot in case that line disappears)

Is it just me, or does it seem unlikely to you that indigenous gangs of white villains would have connections to Somalia, Afghanistan or any other of the world's failed states?

What the article is deliberately not saying is that "Gangs of criminal immigrants are costing the UK £40 billion a year".

Given that, before this report was released, estimates of the cost of immigration ranged from £12 to £17 billion, this would appear to be taking the figure closer to £60 billion.

I defy anyone to demonstrate a benefit to that.
