In 2005, the then Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, long in conflict with the London "Evening Standard", then wholly owned by the same media group as the "Mail", branded the Mail titles as "the most reprehensibly edited" publications in the world with the "Mail" chosen as having most "disgraceful record". The "Mail's" treatment of asylum seekers and members of other vulnerable groups is a particular source of grievance for many critics, not only Livingstone. "Maybe we anti-racists have been naive to think that Stephen Lawrence campaign was anything more than an aberration," suggests Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, adding: "wouldn't it be better if this extraordinary editor decided to use his influence to create just a little more understanding of why refugees leave their countries, and what most of them bring to our nation?"
