The story is about an ongoing legal matter and commentary could be taken as contempt of court. <br /><br />2. It's gone beyond even the Mail's standards of acceptability. <br /><br />3. The story was bullshit and people are calling the Mail out on it.

If you listen to the video for yourself (it's embedded in the DM story that is linked to), the guy in the lorry is asked where he comes from and he says something very unclear, with two syllables, the first sounds like a vowel intermediate between "E" and "O" and the second could (stress 'could') be "Raq" or "Rap". The man doing the questioning is obviously unsure of what he's just heard, because he says "Where's [that] then?"<br /><br />I think (stress 'think') what the Mail is trying to do is paint the people in the lorry as frauds who are exploiting Europe's open borders to get into Britain by pretending to be from elsewhere in the EU. That would be fair enough, but it's not at all clear - for the same reason that this debunking isn't entirely successful. I wonder if the Mail's ambiguity was calculated, incompetence, or simply another case of 'too good to check'?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-82371331474238728672016-06-16T14:23:10.723+01:002016-06-16T14:23:10.723+01:00This is the type of dishonesty is real dog-whistle...This is the type of dishonesty is real dog-whistle stuff for the thicker end of the DM's readership and 'comments beneath' is usually full of bile and spite. But I've just looked to find 'currently not accepting comments'. Does this mean the mods are busy elsewhere? Or could it be that smarter readers have inundated with comments full of contempt and ridicule for the lies and Dacre has taken fright, ordering the comments section to be pulled?<br /><br />Nothing would surprise me about the cretin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-67000229030798633922016-06-16T13:13:01.117+01:002016-06-16T13:13:01.117+01:00So the refugees ended up in east London.
