A traditionally conservative tabloid (by UK standards), The
Mail is currently blaming the
European Union and European immigration to Britain for the
economic crisis in Britain. It likes to incite its readers against minorities with
sensationalist headlines about the benefits immigrants receive and the threat they pose to British culture and
security (almost always entirely founded on lies). It frequently reports that the country is "going to the
dogs" and we're all going to die, while at the same time wondering why people are voting for the
British National Party. Some British people find this amusing as the
Mail's editorial stances are indistinguishable from BNP policies. It is exceptionally rare for the main headline to be unlinked to asylum seekers or
"dangerous" foreigners in some way or another, regardless of the
context of the story. Such as the case with Mahira Rustam Al-Azawi, who would otherwise just be another case of long-term fraud if it wasn't for the
Mail slanting it toward her being an Iraqi asylum seeker.
