The UK gov't estimates that ~34K people arrived by small boats last year. In a population of 69.2 million, they're not the reason you can't get an NHS appointment, have high food, fuel & housing costs & difficult job situation. They are a brilliant distraction & vote-winner.

Once the language of hate is normalised this sort of incident becomes inevitable
Village idiots verbally abusing an influx of "illegal immigrants" at a campsite in Newbridge, Wales
They were a group of Scouts from Scotland
Anti-immigrant rhetoric has consequences
Statement from Scouts Cymru
"We are aware of a racially aggravated incident targeting under-18s"

How BBC presents the anti-migrant hotel protests vs how we do at @bylinesnetwork.co.uk
BBC lead with a Reform UK voter saying "We are not happy with these men in this hotel because we fear for our children”
We tell of the refugee children inside the hotel terrified by chants of “send them out!”

New YouGov polling. A monumental failure of our political class to educate, a monumental failure of our media to report fairly, for a generation
