it is a loony left propaganda pamphlet.
It is particularly obsessed with migration and asylum. As far as I can see, they would simply allow as many millions who could get here to simply arrive and be looked after.
I'm not a massive fan of the Guardian, but I wouldn't say it's loony left, there are plenty of comments in its discussion pages that indicate that many people consider it too middle ground.
But I would argue that the obsession with asylum seekers is more of a product of the right-wing press, to read them you'd think we were drowning under a relentless unstoppable tide of illegal immigrants.
On an average day in the UK:
- 3,700 people are reduced to seeking help from a food bank
- 5,400 suffer domestic violence
- 4,750 people sleep rough on the streets
and
- 4 migrants come across the channel seeking asylum
But somehow it's asylum seekers that are the crisis?
As far as I can see it's the same old story - divert attention from internal problems by identifying an external minority group to blame.
