The Audit Commission report actually says:
Quote:
There is little evidence that the increased numbers of migrant workers have caused significant or systematic problems in respect of community safety or cohesion.
Despite this, community perceptions about migrant workers can be inappropriately negative. They are often confused with asylum seekers and refugees, and the tone of some national and local papers can encourage hostility. While British papers worry about the number of people coming to Britain, Polish papers blame their government for allowing so many skilled youngsters to leave.

I wonder which large-circulation tabloid might just be telling porkies that lead to 'inappropriately negative' perceptions? I also wonder if they read the bit about the tone of national and local papers?
