Dhananjayan Sriskandarajah drew attention to the media treatment of asylum seekers, citing one case last year in which the Sun ran a front-page story about asylum seekers who were allegedly barbecuing the Queen's swans; it turned out not to be true, and highlighted the way in which a slandered group cannot defend itself. The Sun was eventually forced by the PCC to issue a "clarification" (on page 41), but by then the damage had been done. He said something should be done to prevent wrongful reporting when it had a clear and negative impact on vulnerable minorities.

Barbequeing swans? for fuck's sake.
