In its letter of complaint to the PCC, the federation accused the Daily Mail of printing articles that gave rise to "negative emotions and tensions between the new EU immigrants and local communities".
"Polish plumber" anybody?
"Poles seem to be unable to please the Daily Mail, whatever they do. On one day you get a headline Poles Flood into England, implying the country is drowning in immigrants....
The Daily Mail spokesman said the paper was not against any ethnic group.
"We do reserve the right to criticise
bogus asylum claims, benefit cheats, tax dodgers and militant fanatics, no matter where they were born," he said.
