Benefits terrorists

The right-wing tabloid British press has two favourite scapegoats: immigrants, and social security scroungers. With Khalid Masood’s having been shown not to have been an immigrant after all – strictly speaking; although of course he was black – the Daily Star goes for Plan B: http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/599978/police-probe-london-terror-attacks-khalid-masood-serial-benefits-cheat. Either way, it panders to their prejudices.

So far it’s looking as though I was right to be sceptical of all that ‘terrorist’ hoo-ha: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-39396101. Of course there’s still time.
