UK media bias 1991-2017

Background
Resentment towards foringers has been a popular theme in many nations, including the U.K. over the years. Blacks, Asians, Arabs, Jews, Poles, Gypsys, and Irish have had it at times. The IRA made things worse for the Irish since some people got the unfair opinion that all or most Irish were in the IRA and related movements. I know, since I'm British. The River Nile-2 (talk) 11:59, December 20, 2013 (UTC)

Immigration general rose steady since the early 1990's and as did the economy after the liberation of Kuwait from Iraqi rule.

Croat, Kosovar and Bosnian refugees sought sanctuary in the UK and other places during the breakup of Yugoslavia, but some were attacked in London, Manchester, Glasgow and a couple of German cites. They mostly went back home circa 2000-2004.

The economic situation started fold-up and die in about 2000. It has sunk ever since. Asian, Chinese, Polish, Hungarian, Irish and black African immigration also rose slightly at that point.

1991-1993
There were a few overly anti-Arab\Somali\Bosniak\Serb articals in response to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, the Somali civil war and the collapse of Yugoslavia.

1999
The Glaswegians had some minor ethnic scuffles with Kosovars refugees and ethnic tensions grew for a few month on both sides of the divided, but had gone by the time they were repatriated in 2001.

2000
The economic situation in parts of Eastern Europe started fold-up and die in about 2000. Croat, Kosovar and Bosnian refugees who had sought sanctuary in the UK and other places during the breakup of Yugoslavia mostly went back home circa 2000-2004. Asian, Chinese and African immigration also rose slightly at that point.

2001 before the 9/11/2001 attacks
Many Kosovars were quietly repatriated, but this went largely unreported in the UK media.

2001 After the 9/11/2001 attacks
Suspicion naturally hit the Pakistani, Afghan, Arab and Muslim communities. Many headlines became bias against them and people naturally tended to beleave it due to the 9/11/2001 attacks. Pakistaniphobia became a temporary, but vicious, phenomena.

2002
Portugese and Brazilian immigrants were viewed with suspicion relating to the general climate of fear after the 9/11/2001 attacks.

2004
A killer/rapist Lithuania doctor who struck in and around the London borough Ealing was used as an attack on the Lithuanian community. The motivation appeared to be to capitalise on the initial fears raised by the 9/11/2001 attacks and new immigrants from Eastern Europe and start a new headline grabbing blame campaign. Soon all Lithuanians were being unfairly accused on mass of being wood-bee criminals. Latvians and Estonians were not accused at this point.

2006
The UK economy began to show some serious ailments due to several incompetent bankers, the odd corrupt banker and the general climate of corporate greed in the UK and Ireland.

As this happened Polish, Czech, Slovakia, Hungarian and Baltic immigrants turned up they accused them of 'stealing' jobs. Most had set up there own enterprises, especial ethnic food shops, newspapers, music shops, etc. A Latvian murderer and 2 Polish benefits cheats were used to unfairly smear both nationalities.

Some of those who harboured anti-EU sentiments went on to peruse a quasi-racist agenda against the peoples of the Balkans as to scare the less Europhobic parts of the U.K. in to joining there radicalised variant of euroscepticism. Most British folk resented the EU's business model, regulation, legislation, litigation and apparent lack of direct accountability; but not the citizens of the member nations them selves.

As of this time relations with the British were still fine. Generally the Poles were welcomed and anti-Pakistani sentiment had receded in the UK.

2007
As EU expansion occurred Polonaphobia and Gypsy hateing became popular at this time as a mixture of scaremongering headlines and a genuine, but misplaced, public fear of heavy immigration from Romania, Bulgaria and Albania occurred. Press accusations surrounding a Romania Gypsy caught driving without a valid driver's licence and the antics of several Romanians who were stealing metal from factories in the English Midlands to sell of as scrap were used to further fuel this fear.

Estonia got quite a bit of sympathy at the time over the 2007 Bronze Soldier of Tallinn incident. Russia was critasised in many media outlets for bullying Estonia.

2008
As the global economy fell apart the public wanted some one to blame besides the nation's failed business leaders and bankers. There was a common beleafe at that that it was a global conspiracy by an undisclosed group or nation. As a result of this the EU and the USA were blamed par-see. Later it was totally baselessly claimed, in the tabloid press, that Latvia, Romania, the Ukraine and Greece had deliberately collapsed the economies to scrounge EU and IMF aid of the UK, the USA, Switzerland, the Netherlands (AKA- Holland) and Germany. Infeact it was Germany who was to balme as it loan sharked Spain, Italy, Belgium, Portugal, Poland, Latvia, Greece, Solvinia and Romania.

Racist attacks on Poles started to become a bit of a problem in the UK.

2010
A Bulgarian rapist made things worse for everyone from Eastern Europe wanting to move to the city of Halifax.

2011
As some Romanian gangs caused chaos stealing metal railway equipment, UK gangs looting from stock yards and where houses went largely unreported outside of official documents, legal reports, several professional journals and some local newspapers. As riots hit the UK between 6 and 11 August 2011, caused after a police officer shot and killed 29-year-old Mark Duggan during a traffic stop on the Ferry Lane bridge, Tottenham Hale on 4 August 2011, the country's media as a whole stood by the government.

The Lithuanians, Latvians, Estonians, Sikhs, Tamils, Somalis, Muslims, Hindus, Turks, Jews, Greeks, Albanians, Kurds, Egyptians, Americans, Australians, Canadians, Russians and Poles stayed loyal to the UK. In many cases formed local visual-anti and counter-insurrectionist militias in Greater London and the West Midlands.

While most of it was ether a muti-cultural looting spree in Central London, a Black insurrection in north London, a peasants revolt in Sandwell and Dudley or a English looting spree in Nottingham and Birmingham City, other events kicked off else ware.

A small English a nationalist riot in Manchester was essentially run by impoverished locals and Polonophobes in an attempt to undermine Anglo-Polish relationships. Ethnically mixed hooligans tried to wreck Derby, Liverpool and Bristol, Romanian crooks went about metal thefts in South London and Smethwick was hit by some Pakistaniphobia attacks. Several other English towns and the Welsh city of Cardiff were hit by the riots.

After this British people became more cynical about immigrants.

2012
Tabloid newspaper reports became ever more bias and some TV reports joined in the feverish over what would happen in the EU if Romanians and Bulgarians were to emigrate to the UK, the Netherlands and Germany. Trouble concerning Blacks, Asians/South Asians, Orientals/East Asians (except for the Chinese government's computer hacking program) and Latin Americans was also slightly played down in the media. It was a about this point that fascism infected euroscepticum and that parts of the English population became overly racist to any one from the EU, USA, Russia, Poland, Afghanistan, Iraq or Pakistan.

The EU was falsely accused in some tabloid newspapers of single handedly undermining the UK economy and of siding with Romanian criminal gangs. Germany's mean spirited plans could have not worked in the UK without the help of the UK government and officials. As the Western economies folded the British blamed the Poles for taking thire jobs as immigration from Africa and the Indian sub-continent went in to hyperdrive.

The killing of April Jones, on 1 October 2012 by Britisher Mark Bridger became a major issue for a while, but every one agreed blindly in the name of the on-line psychology phenomena called 'group-think' that it had to be a tragic one off. Later the tragic 3 March 2012 killing of Daniel Pełka attracted some Polonophodia at the time, but generally the populous stayed calm and neutral on this issue. The killing of the child Daniel Pelka  by his Polish parents was partially hijacked by English Polonophobes over the next few months in an attempt to undermine Anglo-Polish relationships.

2013
The sectarian murder of Drummer Lee Rigby of the 2nd Battalion, Royal Regiment of Fusiliers in Woolwich on 22 May 2013 became a cause celebre. Some individuals, organisations and tabloids made unnecessarily aggravating remarks witch only made things worse. Soon UK-Islam relations were on the rocks and a couple of anti-Islam fire bomb attacks occerd. Whist a couple of rogue Black Muslims had done the act and were sent to prison for it, Asian Muslims got the blame as well. Islamaphobia and Pakistaniphobia was enhanced for several months afterwards.

Inevitably some Baltic nationals were guilty of civil crimes, but not as many as popular myth claims. Racist attacks on Poles and Chinese became a new phenomena aswell.

Russia was criticised in many media outlets for bullying Ukraine.

2014
27 November 2014 Saw 7 Somalis rested and jailed in Bristol. The abused girls were almost all white, with a few blacks, a Kosovar and a Palestinian also getting touched up, while the gang were of mostly Somalis rather than Pakistanis as in Rochdale. Some were drug-dealers selling heroin and cocaine, while others were described as "well-educated men with good prospects". The UK's media went crazy on the issue that Rochdale's Asians were guilty, whist the Somalis went vertically noticed. The UK's tabloid newspapers went crazy as doublethink, blackwhite, Newspeak, Europhobia and anti-Asian conspiracy theories abounded, leading to a peak in public xenophobia and hatred of all immigrants regardless of their origins!

Rochdale sex trafficking gang, Derby sex gang, Rotherham sex grooming case, Oxford sex gang Telford sex gang Peterborough sex abuse case and Bristol sex gang. Some fascist then had a field day blaming all blacks, Asians and eastern Europeans for the UK's child sex offences with out due evidence to prove the case to be more than libelous gossip and vindictive finger pointing.

41 year old Latvian crook, Arnis Zalkalns, murdered 14 year old Alice Gross  early in the year and as the year ended a 4 man Polish gang launched a brutal attack on a top London law school academic after being let through Britain’s open border controls despite horrific criminal records. The UK government was the accused by the media and some Latvian officials of only letting crooks and not nice or useful people.

Russia was criticised in many media outlets for annexing the eastern part of the Ukraine.

UKIP is Idolized by the UK tabloids as the real operstion to the Tories, Lib' Dem's and Labour. As this happens they also begin to stir English nationalist sentiments against the SNP. Their constant claims about the SNP, Islamic terrorists, immigrants and the EU were soon discredited by the TV and Radio news. Once the Tories saw UKIP get 10% of the vote they joined in the anti-EU\immigrant hysteria.

2015
Various Oxford professionals were blamed by exsperts on Tuesday 3 March 2015, as a review of the mindset that girls were raped were to blame, with victims perhaps totaling more than 370. Asians, Somalis, Whites and a Kosovar were both victims and perpetrators.

7 White men aged between 30 and 51, including 3 convicted sex offenders were charged and found guilty of those charges on Wednesday 22 April 2015 They also used the "dark web" to communicate with each other on sites such as The Onion Router, known as TOR.

Russia was criticised in many media outlets for bullying and partially annexing Ukraine.

As time went on, UKIP became a champion of the far-right and the darling of the UK tabloid papers, especially the Mail and Express. Their constant claims about Islamic terrorists, immigrants and the EU were soon discredited by the TV and radio news, all political parties bar UKIP and the Tory leadership, experts, universities, the EU, the UN, the Arab League, charities, firms and NGOs. As UKIP entered a harmonious Kentish town near Chatham (I forgot which now) which was about 10% Portuguese/Brazilian immigrant, but when they left their was a mini-race riot, a wrecked corner shop, windows smashed in a home and the beleaf the place was mostly inhabited by immigrants.

Kid Company imploded and became a media sensation after it moved from looking after local poor kids in 1998 to apparently being a life style chose for black teens who did not want to be part of mainstream society in 2015. The TV news had a field-day on it, but the tabloids did not mention the fact that Camilla Batmagjeila was an Iranian and thus an immigrant!

2016
As time went on, UKIP became a champion of the far-right and the darling of the UK tabloid papers, especially the Mail and Express. Their constant claims about Islamic terrorists, immigrants and the EU were soon discredited by the TV and radio news, all political parties bar UKIP and the Tory leadership, experts, universities, the EU, the UN, the Arab League, charities, firms and NGOs. Any indiscretion by a Middle Esterners and Asians was held as a norm, whilst Blacks were treated fairly and only the worst of Whites were exposed.

The constant torrent of dubious, false or misrepresented stories boomed due to the Syrian, Eritrean and Iraqi immigration crisis. Many EU nations refused to co-operate with the EU dispersal plan lead to Greece, Germany, Sweden, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Italy, Romania and the former Yugoslavia becoming a dustbin for immigrants. The attempted cover-up over the Cologne station and Stockholm rock concert rape gangs gave more fodder to the very people they feared the truth would aggravate. The British media claimed they ere all crooks and the steady drift of endearing and hapless immigrants had become a mindless conquering horde as on the beaches of Greece, which it had not.

The Tories wanted to crack down on Eastern European immigration and thire right once in the UK. UKIP blended the longstanding fear of EU bureaucracy, the ailing Euro (€), Anglo-Irish economic decline, Polonaphobia, Islamaphobia and Syrian refuge worries in to a ugly new anti-EU cabal. They implied wanted to end all UK treaties, overseas relations, trade, tourist, immigration and ethnic communities.

The generation factor
As far as I can tell the collapsed standard of living among older people stirred anger amongst the baby boomer generation. They thought they could rebuild build the UK not for the nation's good, but for there own long turn personal gain. Their kids were split between what could be termed as relatively normal folk and the Yuppies and or Blairites, who's recess and semi-criminal boom soon collapsed, followed by a economically rigged come criminal insane global mess (of which the UK was a leading part of it) that led to a near fatal world collapse ~10 years later. The current teenagers and kids are lost, going delinquent, dropping out of society, unwanted and without hope; since they are disowned by their parents and hated by there grand-parents (ironic relay, since this generation called their oldies trash in the 1960's and 1970s). The baby boomers now hate any one that is not them or vasselating to them, calling all change a teenage/immigrant plot against them (ironic relay, since this generation wanted to rewrite socialite's rules in the 1960's and 1970s). The 18-45 year old men now regularly kill themselves, especially by suicide by train in the First Great Western zone of operation since ~2014!
