UK government considering a “cut-off date” for EU citizens’ rights to residency
It&#x27;s sad how even the Independent is now taken by misleading headlines. They are considering stopping it &#x27;after a “cut-off date”&#x27;&#x27; to prevent abuse of people from poor eastern Europe countries to flood UK before it leaves the EU. Right there in the first couple of paragraphs.<p>I used to have a lot of respect for the BBC, Financial Times, and The Independent. Even The Guardian being partisan had the basic decency of putting things in perspective of the opposing side.<p>Nowadays all turned into hardcore fanatics looking how to manipulate as much as possible the news to provoke reactions in readers.<p>Perhaps they were cornered into this by the readership. And by Facebook and other social networks creating a cutthroat environment where only nasty clickbait survives.<p>It&#x27;s very sad. We are witnessing the end of respectable journalism.
