John Barnes destroys LBC presenter over refugee ‘bias’

Former England footballer John Barnes thinks the UK considers certain groups of refugees to be “more worthy” than others.

John Barnes, a former England player, believes that the UK views some refugee groups as “more worthy” than others.

He charged the Prime Minister with wanting fewer refugees coming to the UK on small boats while closing “a safe and legal avenue for them to come” during a contentious exchange with Andrew Castle.

John Barnes immediately responded, “Are we worried about Ukrainians coming over?” when Andrew inquired about the public’s worries and fears around refugees entering the UK.

“We seem to accept them – but that’s going to be a strain on the economy,” he added.

He emphasised that “some people are considered to be more worthy than others,” asking why language of “rapists, murderers and criminals” for those who come to the UK from Syria and Iraq but is rarely heard when describing Ukrainians.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
