Basically, yes. They know that prosecuting some Pakistani bloke who's illegally sublet his flat to a dangerous and unsafe number of people who may well not even be legal migrants will be represented as racist persecution of a 'victim' and yet more evidence of how evil and racist the authorities are. You have to remember that the Labour Party is now run by actual Bolsheviks who see any possibility of civil unrest or disruption as an opportunity to seek power. That is how they think.
