    I can imagine an Auzzie tabloid running that story if that happened England, in part for funsies, but what’s the beef with Europe?

      It’s Rupert Murdoch (and his bastard spawn Lachlan), owner of Fox News, The Sun, Sky News Australia, and more. The master of misinformation, sensationalism, and ragebait. He’s been doing this everywhere for such a long time now.

        It’s not even really that good. It’s just everywhere. Flip on your TV, turn on the radio, pop open a browser, and you’re hit with a legion of professional reactionaries screaming “Whitetopia Has Fallen! Brown Menace End Times Are Upon Us!”

        There is no longer anything resembling “normal” news. It’s just wall-to-wall cop worship, racism, and crime hysteria.

      I imagine it’s far right propoganda to distance their viewers from considering views coming from France/Spain to be reasonable, and wanting them to listen to views coming from elsewhere that agree more with their rhetoric. The only real article Ive seen from them was about criticizing their own ambassador because “Trump doesn’t like him.”

      australias border policies are even more draconian then those of europe, the aim is to claim moral legitimacy by making a (racist obv) self defense argument. Most racism is rooted in self defense about some paranoid story

        We did our immigrant hysteria 20 years ago. Nobody is talking about it now, and it would not be beneficial for the right to start, so no its not that because no party gives a fuck.
