“How many refugees have been granted asylum in the UK?”
Most people overestimate the number - by a lot. With far-right figures spreading misinformation, it’s hard for the public to know the truth.
Watch the video to see just how wide the gap is between perception and reality.

Can anyone shed any light on what this structure is for, high up the wall on in the local medieval church?
Is it a remnant of something? Would there have been a staircase to it at some point?
It looks like a pulpit, but stuck on the wall...

Failed Tory's; Too shit & too racist even for the Tory party
They've stopped being Tories & are saviours of the working class, really ? Millionaires & Tories suddenly give a shit ?
How did these people treat you 'Reformers' when they were in power, just a few years ago ?
