Jess Gill’s involvement with these radical free-market climate change denying Koch foundation funded organisations is deeply concerning. The WSI exploits young women to make misleading claims about supposed links between immigration with women’s safety. x.com/docrussjackson…

Narratives which emphasise the dangers, risks and crimes of legal or "illegal" immigrants are too often profoundly misleading and - pushed by opaquely funded free-market think tanks and billionaire-owned media - exist mainly to divide (not inform) people. x.com/docrussjackson…

The political strategy of 'Divide & Rule' is how the ultrarich protect their power and wealth from democracy. Negative framing of "illegal" migrants has been imported to the UK from the US - particularly since it proved so effective in both of Trump's predidential victories.

A 2020 paper showed 18 of 19 recent studies examining the relationship between 'illegal immigration' & crime suggest illegal immigrants have a neutral or positive effect on crime rates & that they commit crimes at lower rates than native-born Americans. jstor.org/stable/resrep2…

In fact, all previous studies relying on the shift-share instrumental variable approach (commonly used in labour economics, trade, and migration studies) estimate crime elasticities close to zero in various countries, and new data across European countries confirms this result.

Recent scholarly work has sought to examine the persistence of the widespread perception that immigration worsens crime problems, in the face of the evidence of null or small effects of immigration on crime. A possible answer involves the role of news media...

They show a large upward distortion in media reporting of immigrant crime during the lead-up to the referendum, and estimate that the vote in favour would have been several percentage points lower. Stoke fear. Offer scapegoats. Get votes. Sound familiar? x.com/docrussjackson…

The number of millionaires in Britain is growing ten times faster than the number of millionaires leaving the country. Not that you'd know that from reading the Daily Mail.

DOOCY: So what happened to the Epstein client list that the attorney general said she had on her desk?  LEAVITT: I think if you go back and look at what the attorney general said  DOOCY: I've got the quote. She said, it's sitting on my desk right now to review.
