This, from Nadhim Zahawi on Times Radio, is an example of something increasingly prevalent and unchallenged on the UK media: the direct conflation of asylum seekers and sex offenders. There have been some awful cases, but it's an idea is based, as far as I can see, on precisely zero proper evidence.

Reform Wales leader Dan Thomas: "I was released without charge".
That’s one way to say "bailed while investigated for assault and coercive/controlling behaviour”. Protect our women, right?
Still, I guess at least *this* Welsh Reform leader isn’t being bribed by Russia.
Well, as far as we know…

I’m baffled when people try to suggest that the BBC News is left wing or ‘woke’. Can you imagine someone presenting their flagship radio news programme who so brazenly exhibits and pushes left-wing views and talking points as much as Justin Webb does with those from the right?
