I have legitimate concerns about the way the mainstream media has been enabling the rise of the far-right through normalising racist and anti-immigrant narratives & discourse...
I don't know about you but I've had about enough of mainstream media & politicians legitimising racist anti-asylum protests that terrorise refugees & communities.

I had to push back hard, TWICE on BBC yesterday about supposed "legitimate concerns" www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtkA...
ENOUGH of the BBC legitimising anti-asylum protests!
