In a few years, when it’s too late, some BBC executive is going to do a witty, regretful address to the Royal Television Society about what they got wrong in covering this story.
It's 9pm .. and yet again BBCNews is once again leading the news agenda with a story about refugees - when there is no new 'news' on refugees... None whatsoever.
The BBC news is completely in thrall to the far right.

Unlikely you'll see an asylum seeker today - says our Chair @leedsblue67.bsky.social in today's @metro.co.uk . If you do: "Please be nice - not racist!” People are falling for the "invasion" rhetoric & imagine asylum seekers in places they don't exist eg. caravan parks & scout camps #RefugeesWelcome

Good article, well worth the read. Captures perfectly how much has changed ("Wombles for Europe") and yet how the UK is back to the same arguments as in the 60s and 70s about identity and sovereignty.
