Did you see this headline? Did you feel the requisite anger and rage at asylum seekers that The Sun was asking of you? Did you maybe blame Starmer because.... um... it was probably his fault🤷‍♀️ Would you like to know the reality behind the headline? Course you would!😜 Let's take a look 🧵 1/25
Sun headline about £500k compensation for migrants, discussing human rights, and public outcry over payouts.

Owners of 236,500 properties in England and Wales worth £64bn are hidden behind opaque trusts. Appeasement of the rich facilitates corruption, illicit financial flows. Compare this to how govts treat the poor. Soon their bank accounts will be snooped on.
