Daily Mail Readers on Asylum Seekers PDF Print E-mail

This story: 'UK Border Agency whistleblower: 'Staff 'made asylum seekers act out shootings and sang offensive "Um Bongo" song'' didn't get a huge amount of publicity on the Daily Mail website - considering how often stories relating to immigrants appear as the lead story. Nor did it even justify a actual reporter to write it up, instead it was rehashed by the Daily Mail Reporter. It did though, manage to attract a few inhumane shitstains who delight in the cruel treatment of anyone not born in the UK - or should we be more honest and say: anyone with dark skin.

Here is a quote from the whistleblower:

‘I asked about the claimants and their [the staff member's] thoughts and was told “If it was up to me I would take them all outside and shoot them”.

Here are some comments from Mail readers:

We need more of these people. Give them a raise!

Most of these comments bear little relation to reality - the implication that this somehow isn't racism, that they'll all get benefits and let in etc. They only reflect the world created by the tabloid press, in which asylum seekers and immigrants are so evil that they deserve all the bad treatment they encounter. The constant misinformation published about migration and asylum has led to people treating outsiders as little better than animals. I don't like to casually invoke the Nazis, but as they seem to be the bogeymen we can all compare situations to, I think it is obvious to point out that dehumanisation was pretty central to their attempted extermination of an entire religious group (and gypsies, of course, which no doubt pleased Richard Littlejohn).

Certainly the tabloid propaganda campaign creating such intense hatred should rightly be compared to the lies told about the Jews by Der Sturmer. The only difference is Der Sturmer was one weekly paper, not a collection of daily national tabloids.

This is so depressing. Who are these people? Why are they so full of hate? Would they really express these thoughts in real life, or only with the shelter of anonymity?

Not to mention all the even more anonymous people who apparently consider these vile comments worthy of a high rating.

Irritatingly common - Mail commenters never seem to want to admit that racism exists at all. Take from that what you will...
