The Spin

For years the British government has responded to each reported migrant death with renewed calls for tougher border security, resulting in asylum seekers taking even more dangerous boat journeys. These migrants, who are fleeing war and persecution, will continue these trips no matter what, so it's up to French and British authorities to provide a safe passage way rather than lett them drown at sea.

While newspapers vigorously cover sad stories about boats capsizing, they refuse to report that mass migration is reshaping British communities into African and Middle Eastern ones. These migrants make up a disproportionate number of homeless people, murderers, and gang rapists, as well as squeeze native Englishmen out of an already struggling housing market.
