Without migrants, we wouldn't have the NHS

Our NHS would collapse without migrants.

Refugees. Is it them versus us?

 

Our poor and disadvantaged and those struggling to make ends meet – many in Britain think they should be helped rather than refugees.

You and human rights

 

Let’s get this straight: Human rights legislation is all about protecting ordinary citizens from excesses of the state – in other words, OUR GOVERNMENT.

The bias changed and we got Brexit

 

Brexit used to sit on the far side lines of politics.

Brexit laid bare

 

Brexit is based on blatant mistruths and lies.

Every reason given to leave the EU was a stinking falsification. When, one day, there is a public inquiry into how our country was conned, there will be gasps into how conniving, cunning politicians managed to get away with it.

Lies, lies and more lies. That’s how Leave won.

What will Theresa May be remembered for?

• Tory Prime Ministers Benjamin Disraeli and Theresa May - centuries apart.

Over Easter this year, I visited Hughenden Manor, an imposing Victorian mansion, located near High Wycombe, that was the country house of the Conservative Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli.

White and proud to be British?

If you’re white and proud to be British, then here’s a revelation: your British ancestors were black.

Don't blame migrants for lack of homes

The Liberal Democrats​ have published a shocking report revealing that 60,000 homes across the UK have been empty for over two years.

Watch out, the robots are coming

Brexiters often complain that migrants are taking British jobs and bringing down wages, especially in the low-skills sector.

Are we restoring British identity, or losing it?

Britain is a potpourri of nationalities which makes Britain Great. We may be an island, but we’re also part of a planet. 

How fake news caused Brexit

It’s becoming increasingly obvious that fake news in some of Britain's leading newspapers helped to cause Brexit.

How newspaper lies led to Brexit

In October 2015, I gave a speech to international journalists in Germany called, ‘Newspaper lies can cost lives.’ Less than a year later, Britain voted for Brexit, with one of the main reasons cited as ‘too many migrants’. How did such a fear and dislike of migrants develop? Newspaper lies played an enormous role. Video, 14 minutes, click arrow to view:

Give MPs age tests, demand voters

There were urgent demands last night for age tests on Members of Parliament as it emerged that some of them were acting strangely in the House of Commons and in government departments. 

Daily Express: 'A bloody awful newspaper..'

Prince Philip once said, “The Daily Express is a bloody awful newspaper, full of lies, scandal and imagination”. For good measure he added, “It is a vicious paper.”

He was right, wasn’t he?

Refugees are not migrants

On the BBC television news channel yesterday the language used to describe people escaping across the sea to reach Europe was challenged by a fellow journalist.

TV entertainer says 'Britain is full'

Noel Edmonds of TV fame and one of the stars of the National Lottery's advertising campaign, is on the front page of the Daily Express declaring that ‘Britain is full’.

My top ten Facebook stories of 2015

My new Facebook page, Jon Danzig Writes, was started in June 2015, with the aim to challenge the news generally, and in particular, mistruths about migrants, refugees, human rights and the European Union.

My first few stories only gained a handful of readers, but over the past six months, my readership has gradually grown, with many of my stories now reaching tens of thousands of people. 

Son of Syrian migrant creates the world's most profitable business

• Banksy paints the case for refugees

Migrants and refugees not welcome is the cold-hearted cry of some people, papers and politicians these days. But just think what would have been lost by banning all migrants or all Muslims. 

It’s something that the British artist, Banksy, has clearly been thinking about.

He’s just painted a mural on a desolate concrete bridge at the ‘Jungle’ refugee camp in Calais, depicting Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Computers, carrying an early version of his computer invention and a bin-bag of possessions. 

Refugees: 'There are too many, so we won't help any'

•  Some have strongly objected to the front page photo published today by The Independent of a dead Syrian boy washed up on a Turkish beach, whose family was trying to escape war and terror. This photo is too upsetting, said many.  However, similar objections were made when photos were released of the Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp after the Second World War, but only then did the world start to fully understand the true horrors of the Holocaust. Now, the world needs to understand this worldwide refugee crisis. Maybe this photo will at last open eyes - especially those of the British government, which has stated that it doesn't want to offer asylum to refugees.

The poor, the unemployed, the homeless, the disadvantaged - many of them in Britain think it’s them or us. Refugees fleeing terror, war and torture? We’re full. People here need looking after first. Charity begins at home. We don’t want them. We can’t afford them.

Those were the typical comments by some British people on what the country's response should be to the world's worst refugee crisis.  The new Conservative government seems to be taking them on board  - and ignoring urgent pleas by other Britons calling for a more humane response.*

The 8 steps to genocide

• The Daily Mail: One step, two step...?

This is how the Daily Mail chose to portray asylum seekers this month. 

In the first cartoon, by the Mail's resident cartoonist, 'Mac' (Stanley McMurtry), a British couple are advised to tell asylum-seekers in a bed to ‘shove over’ to make room for them in a hotel temporarily accommodating people seeking asylum in the UK.
