Today, #r4Today platformed the detestable Robert Jenrick in whipping up hatred based on spurious stats which weren’t challenged.

As he is obsessed with the incidence of sexual offences he might like to look at Westminster, where it’s highest per 1,000 London people

A Metropolitan Police map of London boroughs, each with hues of blue that represent the extent of sexual offences per 1,000 people. The darker the blue, the higher the incidence of offence. The borough of Westminster stands out as significantly darker blue than the light turquoise green-blues around it. An overlay for Westminster cites 5,927 offences, which equates to 22.8 offences per 1,000 people. On the right are various categories of offences with ‘Sexual offences’ selected as the focus given to the map.

…As the saying goes, there are lies, damned lies, and Robert Jenrick.

You can get to the data view that I took a screenshot of above, by

1. going to ‘Monthly Crime Data’ by Metropolitan Police Service at public.tableau.com/app/profile
2. Clicking on ‘Overview of crimes’
3. Choosing the crime category of ‘Sexual offences’
