    If we want to normalise the debate concerning #immigration then the words that journalists use should be looked at.

    One journalist on the #BBCNews24 has just said 'ex-pats' to describe those British/English people who have moved to Dubai, should they not be described as economic immigrants and in some cases tax dodgers!

      @jacqui76 yes. The old three stages. I am an ex-pat, you are an emigré, they are economic immigrants.
      You can see it applied in so many situations
      I am 'resting', you are unemployed, they are benefit scroungers. Etcetera.
