A new survey reveals overwhelming public support in Britain for deporting foreign nationals convicted of sexual crimes, with nearly nine in ten voters backing the policy. The poll, conducted by Find Out Now and reported by The Telegraph, highlights deep concern over the impact of mass migration on women’s safety.
According to the results, 87% of voters “strongly” or “somewhat” support removing migrant sex offenders from the United Kingdom. The sentiment transcends party lines, with 85% of Labour voters, 96% of Conservatives, and 97% of Reform UK supporters in favor of deportations.
The poll also found that 39% of respondents support restricting immigration from countries where women have few legal rights or protections. Nearly half of voters (47%) said immigration levels affect women’s safety in their local areas, while only 23% disagreed.
Anna McGovern, Deputy Director of the Women’s Safety Initiative, which commissioned the poll, said the findings confirm widespread fears among women. “This data confirms what women across the country have been telling us for years – they feel less safe and they want action,” McGovern stated. “Our leaders cannot continue to ignore these concerns or dismiss them as unfounded. Women’s safety must be prioritized above political convenience.”
The issue has intensified following a wave of protests across Britain linked to sexual assaults allegedly committed by illegal migrants housed in taxpayer-funded hotels. While the Labour government has promised to accelerate deportations of foreign criminals, its efforts face legal challenges under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
Critics point to cases such as that of Marlon Martins Dos Santos, a convicted pedophile whose extradition to Brazil was blocked in June due to ECHR concerns, despite convictions for raping a five-year-old girl in Brazil and possessing child pornography in the UK. Such rulings have fueled public anger and doubts over whether real reform is possible under current legal constraints.
