UK: MigrationWatch drop libel threat against Sally Bercow
By Index on Censorship / 7 October 2010
Think tank MigrationWatch has released a statement saying that it no longer intends to sue political commentator Sally Bercow for libel. It was revealed by Index on Censorship last week that Mrs Bercow had been threatened with legal action over comments she made about a Daily Express story on migration and unemployment. Mrs Bercow said that the story, which quoted figures from a MigrationWatch study, grossly oversimplified the migration debate, and that such oversimplification was “dangerous propaganda”. The think tank’s statement says that they are “strongly in favour of free speech”.
