    Oh OK. A tabloid has to feed the buyers prejudice. For instance, if The Scottish Sun started running stories about the English being the finest race on earth, they'd have their premesis fire bombed. Likewise The Daily Mail if they proclaimed 'immigration is fucking brilliant!' The point is, sales would plummet.

  8. Fire bombed, you say?

    Is there any way we could infiltrate The Daily Fail one night and change the print run to produce stories in support of immigration? That might work! :upyeah:

  9. The Daily Mail has a childish love of large figures with lots of zeros. So it takes some possible but tenuous recent hearsay figure and multiplies it up over 20 years (20 years!) to reach a very grand sounding £400,000. Obviously £20K per year for a family of five doesn't sound excessive enough. The Mail has no idea what other earnings or income their subjects might have had over that period, so it simply assumes there were none.

    For the area in question (Westminster) the average house price is over £650,000. The Mail mentions assumed values of various properties as £600,000 or £400,000 implying these must be super-luxury homes; actually in that area those values are just ordinary, or quite a bit below.

    Then there is the "guilt by association" gambit. The identity of a vile and horrifying murderer has recently become known, so the Mail rapidly sets out to create a link between the murderer, benefit claimants, and immigrants in the minds of readers. Well, most murderers are not actually immigrants or on benefits, and most immigrants or claimants are not really murderers; there is no genuine correlation, just a notional link fabricated by the Mail.

    There may be any number of other facts and figures relating to the family in question, of which the Mail might be aware. One thing we can be certain of is that the Mail will have suppressed anything which does not fit the line Lord Rothermere chooses to feed his readers, as always.


    As I have said before, the only surprising thing is that there are still folk out there naïve enough to swallow this guff whole, and to get indignant, not about the distortions in the Mail but about the story.

  10. Still, the Express says I can live to 120 by adding sweet corn to my diet and that Experts have made an anti dementia tablet.
     
  11. Current fertility rate in Scotland is about 1.6 children, which is far below replacement level. In the long term Scotland will become depopulated unless they find some way to attract more immigrants. Or make more babies. I wonder which option Ms Sturgeon should try for, in her manifesto?

  12. Education is key here.

    Teach the Scottish where babies come from and all will be well.

  15. dont they have breeding licences up there...
     
  16. yip, but you need to have a penis to qualify. sorry. :Hilarious::smile:.
    got one of those heads on today sorry. :smile:
     
  17. I can sort the illegal immigration problem and the jockinese infertility problem with ease:

    An illegal lands in Blighty, so we find his/her country of origin, then we send them straight to Scotland. Then we grab the first jock we see dossing in a shop doorway in London, and send them to the illegal's homeland as a straight replacement. Voila, clean streets in the South, slightly swarthy but fertile jocks back above the border where they belong, and...well, who cares about the other country.

    It's a win, win:upyeah:
