The claim that at least one of the protesting immigrants included the complaint that there was no confectionary among the other complaints HAS been reported by more than one source, but that is IRRELEVANT anyway because it is minor detail, minutiae which whether correct or not SHOULD NOT be clutched at like a straw by a drowning man to deflect from the TRUTH that THE IMMIGRANTS DID BURN DOWN the Asylum Centre.

Agreed, so then why include such a "minor detail" in the tabloid headlines / thread topics as to inflate the importance of such a minor detail and detract from the main story? Why make a minor detail a major focus? The answer is fairly simple; to sensationalise. To create the impression that something so ridiculous and petty has prompted such madness as arson. To make the already shocking and ungrateful action seem even MOREso. To reaffirm people's beliefs about the "sort of people" we're dealing with. Confirmation bias... Preposterous frill that actually detracts from the facts.
