Surprised to see so little on the forum about the disgusting racism and xenophobia being whipped up against various Eastern European peoples by the Mail. This has become particularly savage of late, with a series of inflammatory and disgustingly racist articles, which have really got the Mail readers frothing.
Based on wholly bogus claims about millions of people about to pour into the UK (no matter the facts that the great majority of those from South-East Europe who wanted to work abroad have already done so by going to EU nations that, unlike Britain, embraced the free movement of peoples, or that EU migrants statistically have a very low rate of claiming benefits).
Framed as part of a 'series' it is sickening to see how Mail journalists have sought out some of the homeless, disabled and destitute residents of Bucharest in order to whip up alarm:

Then Mail journalists travel on their way to Sofia to another Roma slum, exploiting every stereotype about gypsies in their book:
We're on our way to Britain: 29 million Romanians and Bulgarians will get the right to settle in Britain and claim benefits. And the gypsies can hardly wait.
