News of the Screws: No more immigrants…except the ones who pay to advertise on our website
Quick blog-post at the tail-end of the working day (i’m so sick of looking at Public Accounts Committee reports: anybody who tells you that Parliamentary recess is a holiday for MPs is full of shit).
Reading the Bickerstaffe Record, I followed a link to a News of the Screws comment piece by Carole Malone.
It’s quite special. Malone explains that apparently ”80% of voters want immigration curbed“, before launching into a diatribe of hate directed at the Screws’ old favourites, the dreaded job-stealing, culture-destroying, baby-eating immigrants.
The article is so far off to the whip-em-up right that Enoch Powell might well have read it and thought “steady on a bit there Carole, this is Blightey you know.”
But unfortunately somebody forgot to inform the Screws’ advertising department:
For it seems that the Screws is perfectly happy for immigrants “to turn up illegally with some sob story of how [their] own country is too dangerous or that [they're] a lesbian who’ll be shot if [they] stay there and Hey Presto, it’s like [they've] won the lottery!” so long as after they’ve done all that they appear on the Screws’ website advertising themselves as part of a dating service.
Still, every penny counts when it’s in the Dirty Digger’s back pocket…

This is why I leave Tabloid Articles to the enemies of reason, tabloid watch and the sun lies…
I can’t explain how furious and confused I am.

I’m with LeftOutside, above. I used to run this sort of hackwatch story – but I get so annoyed that it’s bad for my blood pressure. What was even more depressing was posting about it on MembersNet and realising that there’s quite a few Labour people who feel the same way as Melanie Philips – that this is a ‘Christian country’ and that everyone who comes here should behave like ‘we’ do, never mind that there is no ‘we’ and that if there was ‘we’ certainly don’t behave like it.

Oh, I was just trying to point out how funny it is to have that advert next to such a horrible BNP rant.
Tabloid Watch has done the deconstruction job:
