Zahawi should be embarrassed and ashamed to show his face in public, but, no, that lack of shamelessness means he has no idea how stupid he sounds
Nadhim Zahawi thinks London is now unsafe, because the other day a tired-looking man walked past him during the morning rush hour.

That’s not responsible reporting, BBC. It’s not balance either. It’s pandering to ignorance. We need accuracy, facts and accountability. On the actual statistics and the consequences of this anti-immigrant rhetoric. The misinformed racist in Manchester is where your failure to do that leads.
