Remember the 'independent' is owned by arabs now. They've been putting out a few antiSikh things.  

Bad news for us but this is an example of how to use financial power to change and control public discourse and perception. As Mark Twain said Never pick a fight with people who buy ink by the barrel and in this age those who control and dominate the internet and social media. They're going to weaponize that rag and use it to gaslight and coverup the dirt of their community and highlight disproportionately negative issues of our community.

Yeah, but we should also remember that most working class people in the UK don't really read or pay attention to these rags. We're probably doing the writers a big favour just by highlighting the 'articles'. We should concisely refute and then let the articles die a quiet death.

Indeed. Half the hatchet job is the article, the other half is being able to quote yourself moving forward. So refute it we must...concisely.
