A representative from CAGE protest group explains that UK tabloid newspapers have exaggerated the "threat" of economic migrants and also sheds light on fact that thousands more people migrate from the UK than enter it.

CAGE representative highlights that UK national tabloids, and many other mainstream media news providers, have consistently failed to address the real figures about immigration. She goes on to explain that, in addition to the false and inaccurate image of asylum-seekers and immigrants that is painted by the mainstream media, detention centres are facilities created to hold people without charge which amounts to a violation of human rights.
