Government attacked over refugee scare tactics
MIGRANT rights campaigners called on the government yesterday to stop its inflammatory scaremongering as the world faces its worst refugee crisis since World War II.
After new Office of National Statistics figures on immigration were published, Amnesty International called on the government to allay public fears on the issue and to “show some basic humanity.”
The figures revealed that there were 25,771 applications for asylum in Britain in the year ending June 2015, compared with 23,515 applications over the period last year.
