This is the most abysmal, pathetic thing. The BBC head resigning because the corporation is not supine *enough* to the far-right.

I must admit I’m finding social media a struggle at the moment — filled as it is by toxic chancers deliberately targeting my fellow citizens (and friends) with hateful racist lies. The mental violence is sometimes overwhelming. But we must fight back

Why is a Labour Home Secretary perpetuating this myth in The Sun?
Asylum applications in the UK are significantly below the average for all European countries. The only person helped by spreading this falsehood is Nigel Farage

EU vehicle safety regulations have supported a 36% reduction in European road deaths since 2010, while road deaths in the US over the same period increased 30%.

This lurid headline is about British tourists no longer getting away with overstaying in Schengen. Or being 'illegals', as it's often called in the UK.

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.

Extreme right wing anti-immigrant violence in The Hague.
NSB-vlaggen op het Malieveld. Geweld tegen de politie door extreemrechts. Onacceptabel. Dit zijn Trumpiaanse toestanden, gevoed door politici die angst en verdeeldheid zaaien.
