@brBush Czechs hate the EU,

Do you have a source for this? Are you saying ALL Czechs hate the EU, or is this the message the "Department of Provocations" wants spread?

n recent polls, a clear majority rejected adopting the Euro 

Do you have a source for this?

Czech Koruna has been the top performing currency in the world.

Do you have a source for this?

There are posters on this site who get upset about how the English language is used to manipulate information. An example would be those posters who try to present issues and events as being black or white, and who don't understand how quantifiers should be used. Unless of course they're just trying to pour fuel on fires, which is what the "Department of Provocations" seems to want.

The effect of mass immigration into Sweden,Germany,Austria etc has had a destabilizing effect.

It is a result this that reactionary forces have a chance to seize power.

It seems more than a little conspiratol to me........

@brBush You indeed provided a source. Wikipedia reports this about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daily_Express

Accusations of xenophobia[edit]

In 2013, the paper launched a 'Crusade' against new European Union rules of migrants from Bulgaria and Romania.[73][74] The frontpage on Thursday 31 October declared 'Britain is full and fed up. Today join your Daily Express Crusade to stop new flood of Romanian and Bulgarian migrants'.[75] The Aberystwyth University Student Union announced a ban on the sale of the paper.[76] However, this ban was overturned in March 2016, following student campaigning in opposition to it.[77] UKIP leader Nigel Farage declared that he had signed the petition, and urged other to do the same.[78] Romanian politician Cătălin Ivan expressed 'outrage' at the campaign.[79]150,000 people signed the petition.

In a statement released by The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) on 24 April 2015, the tabloid's name was mentioned in an accusation of producing hate speech, initially referring to an article in The Sun: "...To give just one glimpse of the scale of the problem, back in 2003 the Daily Express ran 22 negative front pages stories about asylum seekers and refugees in a single 31-day period".[80]

It sounds like a source the Department of Provocations would use to spread its messages. But it's good to know the UK stills has a free press and that readers can choose from outlets that print articles representing an array of political perspectives, unlike what Russians, North Koreans, Saudis and Iranians are able to do.

You don't accept the express as a source.

Does anyone?
