We have a unique opportunity to make a lasting difference
We’re sick of newspapers portraying refugees and migrants as a threat. This climate of fear poisons debate and gives politicians an excuse not to act.
MediaWatch exposes press myths with the facts that argue for positive change.
We can make a difference – but we need your help.
We’re crowdfunding for the next three weeks to fund more stories, campaigns, research, newspaper corrections and original journalism on refugees.
Can you chip in to support our refugee project?
This is important right now when refugee policies are still being hashed out. We must keep up the pressure and not let the issue fall off the agenda.
We have a unique opportunity to make a lasting difference. Donate here to support our refugee project.

You mean the ones who are refugees BECAUSE of ISIS? They will tell those who are British Citizens going the other way to stand down from hurting anymore of their own people. Our security system will wipe out anyone who breaches it here.

Cool. How many are staying at your place currently?

Not many, but how many are staying on the Duke of Buccleuch`s estate (240,000 acres), the Duke of Atholl`s estate (145,000 acres, the Duke of Cornwall`s estate (133,000 acres), the Duke of Westminster`s estate (133,000 acres) etc. etc. where there is definitely enough room for a good few hundred thousand refugees.

Isn’t there a better use of the 3 grand you plan to raise (well, the 35 pounds at the moment!)? Such as possibly bringing in one of the many orphaned child refugees into the UK, and the start of a new life for them?

Hold the press to account for lauding rioting, law-breaking economic migrants who’ve abandoned their own wives and children.
