CHARITIES, experts, and politicians have spoken out against the BBC after one of its most senior journalists suggested that some children are “willingly” trafficked.
Home editor Mark Easton was speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme on Thursday morning about the letter sent to the Prime Minister by more than 100 charities which said Home Office policy of keeping young asylum seekers in hotels was “both unlawful and harmful”.
“Almost two years into the operation of the scheme, which is both unlawful and harmful, it is no longer possible to justify the use of hotels as being ‘temporary’,” the letter stated.
