It's only the Mail, with its faltering readership, only the Express which has to rely on fatalistic weather reports to sell itself...
Only.
The good news is that Amber Rudd's homage to Mein Kampf met a big fat raspberry from the business community at large, and the govt have had to retract on this idea of naming and shaming those companies who employ foreigners. But they're still going to collect that info anyway. Cos Theresa May's always wanted it...
The school lists of foreign born children are an extraordinary development. It isn't necessary; standard school forms cover questions about languages spoken out of school, etc. Fortunately, many are refusing to give the information...

The Foreign Office is trying to make the barring of LSE experts of foreign extraction from advising on Brexit sound less appalling than it is: https://www.ft.com/content/8de9294a-8caa-11e6-8cb7-e7ada1d123b1
There seems no end to this awful rubbish. I don't know how real it is... One can't trust the Fail and the Excess as barometers of public opinion, and the stupidity of recent Tory Conference blatherings is surely about courting the far right, trying to get that majority. But there is a blank emptiness at the heart of those who would use this vile stuff to further their careers. As to the headlines above, the day anti-Brexit talk is officially 'silenced' is the day to pack a suitcase.
