Immigration now one of Scottish voters’ top concerns - The Times and The Sunday Times With asylum seekers numbers at 0.2% , the MSM right wing bias and constant depiction of ‘small Boats’ have pulled a blinder in Scotland. Imagine being daft enough to be concerned about something so negligible

The media in all its forms is pushing this anti immigrant agenda, they need to be challenged by government.

Well said Morag. Those of us conscious of where the culpability lies in the UK must keep talking out. It suits corrupt & self serving politicians, rich wealth hoarders and press barons with off shore accounts to blame the most wretched and vulnerable. We can’t sleep walk into 1930’s neo fascism.

I screenshot this on Facebook, wish I could remember who to credit. Just wish our media were more challenging rather than pandering to the right.

Apparently asylum seekers are responsible for … - cost of living crisis, food and energy - lack of social housing - potholes - lack of GP appointments and nhs dentists, rising nhs waiting lists - rising car insurance - fire & hire/unemployment - low exam results - 15 years of austerity

The sad thing is that it was poor policy making… * thatcher deindustrialisation * Brown bailing out the banks on the back of workers * Cameron / Osbornes austerity which have crippled the economy & subsequently led to the Brexit binfight. They are all blaming the wrong people
