I personally think the insulting part came when the councillors linked incomers to crime, thereby smearing a whole section of the community without any thought .
On its own incomer is neither here nor there, linked to an open accusation of incomers and crime increase it becomes very insulting.
The article also mentioned social housing, if correct that the councillors linked incomers crime and social housing in one sentence then effectively they are stigmatising one section of the community.
That shows a worryingly bigoted view.
