A serious anti-foreign feast to start the week with.The Express
1) "STRANGERS IN OUR OWN COUNTRY".
"'English' pupils are now the minority in 1,500 schools throughout the UK".
2) "TORIES MUST SPELL HOW THEY'LL CURB IMMIGRATION".
"Now, more than ever, it is time for the Tories to spell out how they will stem the flow before it is too late to stop britain [ed: note the lower case] from falling apart. They must not allow tactics of crying racism from any other quarter to deter them from their duty".

Daily Mail
1) "Outrage as British taxpayers face £600m bill to fund EU's bail-out of Greece's sinking economy".
"But another cash injection from the International Monetary Fund means Britain will have to pay part of a further £13billion bill to prop up Greece in the money markets. Because the UK contributes 5 per cent of the IMF annual budget, this would equate to a £650million bill for the taxpayer".
[ed: in which case so will the US, Japan, Canada, Russia, Switzerland and all other IMF members. Welcome to the IMF and how it works. The same happened when Britain needed crucial IMF help in the late 1970s, but you don't write that, do you Daily Mail?]
2) "Foreign workers 'to be forced to take English tests'".
"Last week it emerged that virtually every extra job created since Labour came to power in 1997 has gone to a foreign worker. Figures suggested an extraordinary 98.5 per cent of 1.67million new posts were taken by immigrants". [See this for debunking].
3) "English-speaking pupils now the minority in 1,500 British schools".
But then look at this: "Around one in seven - almost 500,000 --primary pupils and just over one in ten, or 364,000, secondary students do not speak English as their first language". One in seven and the Daily Mail calls it a minority based on a selected sample.
4) "Muslim nurses CAN cover up but Christian colleagues cannot wear crucifixes".
"The Department of Health will allow female Muslim staff to opt out of a strict NHS dress code to cover their arms and protect their modesty. But campaigners warn that the NHS is putting lives at risk because guidance that all staff should be 'bare below the elbow' was introduced after long sleeves were blamed for spreading MRSA".
[ed: this is exactly the same story that figures on the home page of the BNP's website].
Note that today the Daily Mail published an editorial called "Playing into the hands of the BNP", centred around the paper's usual: "the BNP are ugly smelly and vile. Right? Look, we've printed that. Now, the thing is, though, the BNP are right on everything, especially immigration, and voters a desperate to find a voice for their legitimate concerns. Look, we even have the same taste in front page news!".

I should think English pupils would be in the minority in all schools in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
ReplyDeleteOh, I see. They mean English-speaking. Or rather they mean speaking-only-English. As opposed to the thousands of pupils who are bilingual and nominally are labeled 'EAL' even though they've been speaking English perfectly well since they were three, and so are not actually using any extra resources.
