Are the media not being incredibly stupid (as usual) making this such a big thing BEFORE they are repainted?
Now, what was probably a rumour known by a few people who probably weren't sure about it in Middlesburgh, is now known by pretty much everyone in the country. Not only that, people may look at a red door and be in doubt who lives there as red doors happen anyway, if it's now repainted in the next couple of weeks, it's going to verify to any nutcase an asylum seeker lives there.
The luvviess at the BBC really haven't thought through how their overblown reporting of this is likely to adversely affect the very people they are trying to "protect". Anyone who gave a s**t has just been given a massive heads up to identifying these people. Thanks UK media, sharp as a pin.

So, let me get this right.
Allah only knows how many Asylum Seekers have travelled half-way across the world to Britain, rather than going to any one of umpteen 'safe' countries between here and the land of their origins. Why do they go to Britain? Well, for one thing they seem to get a free house, in the fine town of Middlesbrough. The house might have a red front door, or it might not. No-one complained about it for a long time, until media luvvies took offence on behalf of people behind red doors. What exactly does the British taxpayer that funded all of this, less still ask for it, get out of the deal? |

Wait until all the immigrants in the rest of the EU get their 'papers' and therefore freedom of movement rights then the trouble will really begin.
We are on the precipice and must start fighting back before it's too late. Up til now only UKIP seem to be taking this threat seriously. |

it's not a free house we pay heavily for these slums through G4s and its Tory connections to a huge Tory Landlord

There was some clown on the Jeremy Vine show yesterday (Feltz was sitting in) who seemed to think that the most pertinent part of this whole issue was that the landlord was worth £175m. Must've referred to it six times, was like a stuck record. Seething jealousy.
Of course wandering around a Middlesbrough slum dressed like a Dalek wouldn't draw attention to the fact that you're not a local, it's all about the colour of your front door......sigh...... |

This is the most extraordinary story of the year so far. Individuals are being targeted for racial abuse and damaged to their property (both illegal in this country as far as I'm aware), and the media are laying the blame at the government and the people who installed the front doors ffs.
Surely they should be asking why the locals are upset enough in the first place to visibly displaying their outrage, and why the police are doing nothing to catch them. It's like the boss of B&Q being under investigation from the police and media for selling a hammer to Peter Sutcliffe. |

The Boss Man (Mr Monk) of the Company "Jomast" lives near Boro,
did it ever cross anybodys mind that the Painters bought the Red Paint in Bulk, cheap, and Middlesborough F.C. play in a RED football strip  Lots of people in Boro and the surrounding area have red front doors. Now they are all being re-painted like a Polish/Czech Village, still some Residents will feel more at home |

Everything about it is ridiculous. Most farcical "story" I've read in a very long time. |

A non-story, dressed up as a 'story', and not subjected to any common sense or rational analysis by our media.
