I’d take anything in the Express with a pinch of salt.

Their readership loves stories about issues in the EU regardless of truth.

A quick look at their Wikipedia entry will give anyone that doesn’t know them an idea of their institutional xenophobia[1].

Disclaimer: obviously I’m an EU “Remainer/Rejoiner” so you judge my opinion of the Express by that.

Sorry about that I didn't know about its reputation, I took the first link in English Google gave me, but the basic fact comes from an official statement anyway.

No problem at all. Sadly we have quite a few of these style of tabloids in the UK.

Many of the negative, highly polarising affects of social media that people complain about today have been visible in certain segments of the UK press since the Westminster Gazette invented the term in 1901...IMHO. :(
