NOW, THAT'S WHAT WE CALL MANUFACTURING OUTRAGE: You have to feel a bit sorry for the Daily Mail, they were so desperate to believe that expanding Europe would lead to a massive influx of new Europeans, only it didn't happen. So the Mail flew some of their own in instead:

So, a selected group of three were given plane tickets, each worth about SKK 16,000 (a return ticket), and after their arrival in the UK, they had to arrange accommodation, board and look for a job.

It's nice to know there's a pleasing circle here: The Mail makes up stories about immigration, which sells copies, which makes profits, which it then spends flying Slovakians in to give itself something to be outraged about. The worry is, of course, what Dacre's paper will do when it gets bored with there not being any of the terror attacks in London its been warning about for three years now - presumably, using this model, the Mail will be funding someone to go down the tube with a bowl of sarin?
