Mail Watch-the woolly hat and rucksack


Now another of my rants about Middle England's press.


Yesterday's tragic stabbing of PC Jonathon Henry is widely reported in all the papers lead in the Mirror and the Sun and the Express call for all policemen to be armed.


The Mail finds ,as always, the twist which suggests that the country is being over run by illegal immigrants as its news angle


Knife horror as illegal immigrant is quizzed over police murder


"An illegal immigrant is being questioned over the death of a policeman in a high street knife rampage. "


"The Daily Mail can reveal the man is an "overstayer" who should have left Britain five years ago. Although his visa had expired, he was allowed to avoid deportation from the country.
The disclosure will embarrass the Government and bring further questions about the shambolic immigration system.
According to the Home Office, there are 570,000 illegal immigrants in Britain, including hundreds of thousands of over-stayers. "


Quite how this tragedy both for the family of the murdered officer and the force in general is helped by this news is unclear.
The same goes for the picture which the Mail kindly points out shows a wholly hat and rucksack presumably we are to infer from this that this is the uniform of an illegal immigrant
