Express extracts an old favourite from its limited repertoire... 'furriners'!

MIGRANT FAMILY OF NINE TARGET BRITAIN AND GET HOUSE AND BENEFITS IN 3 WEEKS

On September 12th, the Express returned to one of its favourite dog-whistle topics, guaranteed to boost sales amongst those readers who are prepared to ignore accurate statistics and are willing, all too willing, sadly, to come to heel obediently. Here , journalist Macer Hall spins a carefully worded, detailed web of hyperbole and downright untruths!

Quoting from several Tory MPs, councillors and a representative of the ubiquitous and inevitable Taxpayers' Alliance, Macer paints a lurid picture of councils overrun by huge non-British families sucking dry the small amount of cash allotted for housing the needy.

The usual cant, divisive and dangerous.

One sentence of Macer's stands out :

'Recent figures from Whitehall showed that foreigners are now pocketing £2.1billion in UK welfare handouts every year.'

Wrong, Mr. Macer!

The true figures have now been given  as: -

Iain Duncan Smith's £2bn benefit tourism estimate cut by 92% - BBC

The full article on Iain Duncan Smith's revised figures can be found HERE .

Mr. Macer, yet again your soapbox has been found to be riddled with woodworm and an unsound platform for your paper's bigotry!

Update #1

Yesterday, the Express bellowed louder still.......this time with journalist Anil Dawar teetering precariously aboard the anti-migrant campaign.
