  The Dover Express just loves to stir with their over the top headlines.
  
  " 'Two or three' Syrian refugee families to come to Dover 'within the month' " .........
  
  "If we were required to - the first two or three families could be with us within the month." .....
  
  Nothing has been decided as yet, neither their arrival or where in the district these unfortunate families would go.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

  I think they call it click bait, designed to get a reaction, a day or two there was a headline about terror police making arrests in Calais. The article went on to say that two hotels were raided and 3 people were arrested, 2 for having no papers and the third for letting them into his room. The usual suspects ranted on about terrorists yet there was no explosives, arms, suicide belts to be had in either hotel.

  Here is another one attracting the only to be expected kind of comments.
  
  Such a biased report! The DE only focus on the guilty 80 yr old woman. What about the guilty daughter and son-in-law who were also sentenced but no mention of what their punishment was... WHY????
