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.

Oh dear, this is what happens to the left: they jump on their high horse and spout cr@p about their intellectual and moral superiority.

Sorry – but the free press exists in a free market. If you don’t like the Daily Mail don’t buy it! Support other media instead.

“xenophobic’ doesn’t equate to protecting your borders like most countries do and will. If I went to, say, Pakistan illegally, I would most likely be in jail for a very long time, if not worse, likely you would be killed or the very least tortured.

And the left pull one back in the Godwin Cup.

Got to rule that one out for offside sorry. Fascism is/was not solely the preserve of the Nazi’s / Adolf Hitler.
