Before we revisit the history of colonialism, isn't Jim's basic point fair enough?

The British press are by and large evil and distort most things, but I guess they are much better than, for one, the Sudanese press. I followed the cover of the Daily Express one summer, it had 14 continuous days of anti asylum seeker front page headlines. Asylum seekers are seeker asylum from murder and torture, yes I know some are not.

The final front page that summed up the Express was "Asylum Seekers ate my Donkey".

Just hope that none of us ever becomes part of an article in the British Press, they almost always get facts wrong and if you are involved in anything contentious they will probably misrepresent your point of view, not care and never put things right.
