Donald Trump sparks fury from Brits after saying that crime has soared by 13 per cent in UK because of ‘radical Islamic terror’
But the official figures partly excluded the victims of terror attacks in Manchester and London, meaning there is no link between the stats and recent outbreaks of jihadist terrorism.
Yvette Cooper, chair of the Home Affairs select committee, said today: "“Hate crime in the UK has gone up by almost 30 per cent and rubbish like this tweet from Donald Trump is designed to provoke even more of it.
"It is appalling that we have reached the point where inflammatory and ignorant statements from the President of the United States are now seen as normal. If we are to properly tackle hate crime and every other crime, we have to challenge this kind of nonsense.”
Lib Dem deputy leader Jo Swinson blasted the President, saying: "Stop misleading and spreading fear. "Hate crime is up and it is fuelled by the kind of populist xenophobia you peddle."
Mike Gapes, a Labour MP, joked: "Dear President Trump. It appears that some stupid fool has hacked into your Twitter account."

Yes, we must remember that Crime in the U.K. is so dependent upon a U.S. President's tweets and therefore he should stop. /S This was crime in 2016, so the increase must have been due to Obama's tweets.
