  The UK's far right leaning press has been stirring up anti Muslim feeling for years. The Daily Mail, Telegraph, Sun and others, mostly owned by the "Dirty Digger" Rupert Murdoch, are shameless in their promotion of irrationally racist and bigoted columnists.
  
  Right now, it seems that the "little Englanders" have (barely) the upper hand in government. The Tories, lead by Thatcher wannabe May, have dumped on the poor and disadvantaged in a way not seen since the time of the workhouses. It is no coincidence that minorities in the UK are getting the same sort of treatment.
