Illegal migration isn't tearing this country apart, but our obsession with it is. It's an obsession fuelled by our media and politicians. Both profit from blowing the problem out of all proportion. It's been happening for decades, but never more so than now

The Daily Mail has been relentlessly attacking the BBC over the editing of Trump quotes in a documentary and look:

Labour's approach to nature is astonishing in its total ignorance of the benefits to our quality of life. And, of course, its sheer beauty.
