I was simply outlining the content of the report (including quotes) and describing why I think the whole series so far has been deeply biased.Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08741318067991857821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-53934205545436613952016-07-24T13:53:11.119+01:002016-07-24T13:53:11.119+01:00Who's complaining about the report being "...Who's complaining about the report being "upsetting"? We're complaining about it being being biased, primarily by feeding into a completely inaccurate caricature of Leave voters as uneducated, benefit-dependent racists. The fact that people granted asylum in this country take the opporunity to talk down their hosts, is in comparison just a minor irritant. We know they are mostly not grateful.

Does hearing of their dreadful experiences make you feel uncomfortable?<br /><br />I notice all the asylum seekers interviewed talked about wanting to learn and earn a living in this country.<br />You seem to want to sneer at them, highlighting perfectly reasonable things the interviewees said as though they were outrageous;<br />it must be a culture shock coming here- so- what is your point? why are you quoting that sentence, as though you are pointing out a fault?<br />What is wrong with saying you miss your family and wish they were with you?<br />I feel that you are trying so hard to find fault that you can't admit that there were reasonable points in the report.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-53463416918285011122016-07-24T01:17:38.653+01:002016-07-24T01:17:38.653+01:00It's all right BBC, we knew from about 7.35am ...It's all right BBC, we knew from about 7.35am on 24th June (as agreed by all your reporters) that all Leave voters were uneducated, unemployable, drug addicted, perverted racists.
