The @Telegraph, @thetimes, @MailOnline & @TheSun publish corrections to their scaremongering on undocumented migrants in London.
Imagine between them the reach & power of these papers.
The fact is they are using that power to instil Trumpist hate & we are ill-equipped to resist.

For a retraction to be of any use, it must be front page and start with a large "We Were Wrong".
I was reminded during James o Brian's show yesterday. People railing against all the brown people and the reason for leaving the EU.
The zinger was.. name me a Muslim country in the EU.
Priceless.
Power to yah girl..you are winning.. x😻
A small paragraph tucked away on page 8 helps nobody.
a large correction Headline on their front pages to the effect that they are lying grifters would be more helpful for Society
maybe they should rename themselves as has 'Truth Social' which is like Carlsberg selling its Special beer as a low alcohol 'session' ale
I'm also surprised more people don't demand that in any litigation that they win.
Bad actors
Perhaps then the papers would fact check their front pages.
Get me out of here.!⚖️🏴
Why we don’t have a free and independent press in UK:

There is huge resources going into the spread of far right propaganda like this & on the other side we are tiny ants shouting into a storm🙁 https://youtu.be/8N-DWUHRM_s?si=mYFieYR3HdHBIJ-6
spreading hateful lies,
even if once a week they had to publish a list of “Lies we print this week” on the front page. MSM Has been spreading racist hatred for as long as I can remember. They do it because propaganda works and are laws are too weak to stop them.
These are not mistakes they know what they are doing. They lie because they can with no consequences. It is right wing propaganda. They have been spewing it all my adult life.
They are a small handful of billionaires & they are working to ferment violent hatred https://bylinetimes.com/2025/01/30/how-right-wing-media-spread-the-false-claim-that-one-in-twelve-londoners-are-illegal-migrants/
No sign of it so far - and the media landscape is getting ever larger, without restraint.
Huge mistake for Labour to be inactive here, even cosying up to Murdock and Musk, despite everything..
Evidence of the age-old idiom that a lie will be half way around the world before the truth gets its boots on.
Front page lie? Front page apology.
Should fix things fairly quickly.
In 2000ish, I responded to a major inaccuracy in a RW executive's letter to the editor in the Australian Financial Review. The editors saw fit to not publish my letter but to publish a correction buried somewhere not on the letters page. Original correspondent was obviously a stooge.
It'll get messy but otherwise this is just like Leon's purported manipulation of the algorithm to promote intolerance.
Anyway, their sheep readers will probably not read these corrections or come up with lefty-woke conspiracy to dismiss the corrections.
The only good analysis I’ve seen so far is from Musk’s own AI bot Grok.

Well there would be if our piss poor party in govt were too afraid of the MSM.
We’ve a solid legal mind as PM - he could introduce and pass it easily!!
Why not, @teamlabouruk.bsky.social ??
But the readers of these papers are so illiterate and stupid that to them "Leave" means only Brexit.

Told bollocks and untrustworthy.
Obviously better to get the figures totally right, but isn't this quite a similar stat?
The Telegraph should have been forced to put a correction on the front page with the same font size
When their divisive propaganda works on enough people,it endangers the rest of humanity
