Immigration and the press

There is much talk of the UK being a small Island unable to cope with the number of rightwing newspapers crowding it. According to a government think-tank, the population of tabloid columnists is set to exceed that of newspaper readers by 2010. A charity set up to defend the rights of right-wing columnists, however, has stated that these figures are “irresponsible and inaccurate”. In a statement it said: “The notion that right-wing columnists might take over the country is ridiculous. Look outside your window, do you see a rightwing columnist?”

Sources suggest many in government are worried about the influx of rightwing opinion flooding the country from Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation. Mr Murdoch, was unavailable for comment. He is paki and can’t speak English.
