Let's make the Mail tell the other side for once!
We’ve read the Daily Mail’s coverage of migration every day, we’re pretty disgusted.
Today MediaWatch is launching a petition to do something about it.
Click here to tell the Daily Mail to give migrants a voice!
We call on the Daily Mail newspaper to publish a comment piece by a migrant living in Calais, France.
Its readers should hear the migrants’ side for a change.
Why is this important?
The Daily Mail’s coverage of the migrants in Calais has been a national disgrace, referring to them as a ‘swarm’ looking to mooch off the UK.
The Mail, as the second most-read paper in the country and most-read English news site in the world, should give an accurate picture to its readers.
Sign the petition and tell all your friends to do the same.
Once we have 1,000 signatures we will publicly deliver this to the Daily Mail.
These migrants have been demonized. They deserve the right to speak in their own voice – and the British public should be allowed to hear them.

Have you reached 1000 yet? – the Clarkson petition passed that in seconds. Get a million and the Mail may listen but if you only muster 1000 they will tell you where to go

They are criminals. Entering the country without going through the proper channels is a crime. Ergo, those who do so are criminals.

Someone always has to prove Godwin’s law when pushing a pro-migration argument, don’t they?
Geo
And again! Hooray for Godwin’s law.

If you call football hooligans criminals it’s ok because they’re white. If you call Calais migrants criminals it’s another matter altogether.
The left should sort its moral compass out.
