“Shame on Algeria!”… British MP Exposes Shocking Theft Statistics Involving Algerians in the UK

ALDAR/

In a shocking scene under the roof of the British Parliament, a Member of Parliament dropped a political bombshell, revealing that Algerians rank among the top nationalities involved in theft-related crimes in the United Kingdom. He stated that Algerian nationals are 18 times more likely to commit theft compared to the general population, describing this as a “deeply rooted cultural trait.”

The British MP didn’t stop at citing statistics. In a tone of biting sarcasm, he went further to suggest that Algeria might as well ask UNESCO to register “theft” as part of its intangible cultural heritage, given the prevalence of this behavior among its diaspora in Europe.

Despite sparking widespread condemnation, the MP’s remarks brought renewed attention to the troubling criminal record associated with segments of the Algerian community in Europe. Time and again, reports have linked Algerians to theft, pickpocketing, drug trafficking, and urban violence. From the UK to France, Belgium, and even Spain, police records frequently highlight the involvement of Algerian nationals in cross-border criminal networks.

While critics accused the MP of making sweeping generalizations, many observers defended what they called “undeniable facts,” asserting that the MP did not invent these claims, but rather relied on verified law enforcement data. These figures, they argue, reflect a deeper issue: the failure of proper integration and a lack of respect for the laws of host countries among parts of the Algerian diaspora.

At a time when Algeria attempts to project the image of a “resistant” and “clean-handed” state, such revelations expose the reality behind the façade. They shed light on a profound cultural and moral crisis being exported abroad by its diaspora—far from being a symbol of civilization and coexistence.

What unfolded in the British Parliament is nothing less than a blaring alarm bell for a failed Algerian political system—one that has proved incapable of raising a generation that respects the law and upholds universal human values. Instead, it exports its social problems to Europe, turning them into a security and societal burden.
