    Tell me what's on your approved media list comrade, and I'll try and find something making a similar point, so you can't ignore every point made and hide some weak nitpicking about the source.

    I'm guessing: Guardian, Mirror, Independent, Novara Media, Squarkbox, Another Angry Voice..that kind of thing, yeah? I guess you read the Daily Mail, but only the headlines when re-tweeted on twitter by someone outraged.
    It's also important to notice when political websites make stuff up, especially at the extreme left and right end. You should also realise that the right wing press are far more guilty of making up stories than the left wing press. Each year the Mail and Express deliberately lie and print more false stories to suit their agendas than anyone else.

      I agree, but what is made up in that opinion piece, that draws on the hypocrisy between the situation in Belarus (which is actually a dictatorship) and that in France (which isnt)?

      What is false about it? There's starving people on the Belarus / Polish border as we speak.

            It's human nature

            Britain has communities living here from all over the world

            South East Wales in particular

            There is a large somali population in Cardiff so when there was a civil war in the 1990s refugees were directed towards Cardiff and its probably true many were headed here or London or Liverpool anyway .

            When brits go abroad many head to the English or Irish bars and cafes in Benidorm

            Australians in the UK tend to head towards King's Cross

            It's never going to stop , as sure as night follows day the population of this country will increase and the demographic will change .

            Any government pandering to those opposed to immigration need to be truthful but you won't get that with the Conservatives

              The angry Daily Mail readers wanted Brexit.

              Brexit Britain.

What's wrong with that-wouldn't you do the same? Just because people are poor it doesn't mean that they shouldn't express choice in order to improve their lives. You being a self employed man go where the work is, where the money is. Does that only apply to you?

                  No one will disagree with much of that, but you are confusing legal immigration with migrants paying criminal gangs to cross the English channel.

                  It's not the same thing and saying it doesn't solve the problem.

                    Apart from on Sundays. Or maybe you shouldn't make such sweeping statements?

                    Our ancient political system has lasted because it accepts that nobody is ever wholly right, and that nobody is ever right all the time. No Parliament can bind its successors.

                      No ill still stick with angry Daily Mail readers. That probably made them even more angry.

                        Okay, I've just given you an editorial from the Mail on Sunday on dailymail.com urging it's readers to Vote Remain, but go ahead. Things are probably simpler for you when you don't challenge your own prejudices.

                        If your concerns are for readers being swayed by newspapers, then your concerns lie elsewhere
                        Regular newspaper readers were more likely to vote Leave in the UK referendum on EU membership, according to new research. The survey of a 30,000-strong online panel found that only 41 per cent of those who said they do not read a newspaper voted Leave (versus 52 per cent of the general population). Press Gazette …

                            Whenever this is in the news all I think is what more important news are they trying to surpress this time. You think people would catch on but nothing gets the great british public more distracted and foaming at the mouth than a dingy full of immigrants.
