The Spin

Establishment-critical narrative

This inhumane law violates the UN Refugee Convention, and betrays so-called "Western values." However, the UK is only the most prominent example of how Western countries buy their way out of their humanitarian obligations by turning poor and undemocratic countries like Rwanda into offshore dumping grounds for asylum seekers. This disgraceful practice underlines yet again that the West has lost any right to portray itself as the champion of human rights.

TRT World

Pro-establishment narrative

The bill is essential simply because the uncontrolled flow of migrants threatens to undermine Britain's national security. Critics of the reform are posing as generous humanitarians without offering a solution to the social woes caused by the influx. Additionally, the number of conflicts in the world is increasing, underscoring the need to revise international refugee agreements. If the UK is to remain a peaceful multi-ethnic nation, reasonable and responsible action must be taken now.
