I need to share some further thoughts on last week's #BBCimmigration story. My segment was recorded weeks ago not knowing whether it would ever air. I was given less than 24 hours' notice of release, while I was away on leave. When the story broke, my initial posts were centered on the #fraudsters exploiting vulnerable #migrants. I was really taken aback by the editing but felt I had to consider everything released by the BBC before commenting further. I am very annoyed to see a lot of my expert commentary selectively reported, taken out of context or ignored. Here are some examples. ➡️ I agreed to work on this project to shine a light over vulnerable migrants being abused by scammers. The BBC's editing of this piece suggests that migrants exploit the immigration and asylum system. This is NOT my experience after 30 years in the field. ➡️ I never said it was easy to fake #LGBTI #asylumclaims. This was erroneously paraphrased by the BBC.

'Labour's housing secretary Steve Reed: "If you abolish landlords, where are you going to get the homes from?" "Somebody offering you a product you want to pay for, at a price you're happy with, is a good thing"' Quote post: The New Statesman @NewStatesman Nov 7 "They're just a bit wacky, aren't they?" @SteveReedMP on the Green Party's plan to abolish landlords.
"Even the Tories' political education department had no real objection to the further reduction of the tiny private rented sector that existed in the 1970s. It wrote: "The accelerating decline of the privately rented sector is quite irreversible. The private landlord, as he exists now and has existed, will, within a generation, be almost as extinct as the dinosaur. There is nothing that can be done about this." Conservatives in the 1970s merely sought to retain a handful of petty landlords, who ought to be entitled to a "fair return" if they let out a spare room or two, but they recognised that private renting tends to be an expensive, poor-quality and economically wasteful way of accommodating the population. The near-death of landlordism was one of the good news stories of the last century."
"Though Mr. Smith criticized President Donald Trump's trade policy, the two found much else to agree on. The Times reported that, thanks to the corporate tax cuts Mr. Trump signed into law, which FedEx had lobbied for, the company's tax bill plunged to zero, from $1.5 billion. Mr. Smith had said that businesses like FedEx would respond to the windfall with major new investments, yet FedEx reduced its capital expenditures and increased its spending on stock buybacks."
ON 27 APRIL 1806 MOEHANGA DISCOVERED BRITAIN Imgflip.com Happy Moehanga Day The 27th of April is Moehanga Day in the United Kingdom On 27 April 1806 Great Britain was discovered by Moehanga Ngāpuhi. Of course, various indigenous, white-skinned tribes already inhabited the British Isles for thousands of years, but Moehanga was the first Māori to discover Britain. The British natives were in awe of Moehanga's tattoos and they insisted he meet their chieftain King George III. When Moehanga arrived on the island he saw families living in primitive, damp and unsanitary conditions and a brutal society that punished almost any act of disobedience-from theft to living with Gypsies-with death. The Britons were a warlike people, renowned and feared for their prowess at fighting other European tribes and even raiding and conquering lands and taking slaves on distant continents. Today Britain is a thriving multi-cultural nation, producing a range of quality exports whilst preserving its rich heritage and traditions.
