Quote from article
This shows Richard Littlejohn thinks
I think that Richard Littlejohn…
“Why not give Essma a Harrods account as well as a £2m mansion?
 
 
That Essma is receiving excessive amounts in state benefits and housing benefit.
Is being sarcastic and is clearly irate about the topic he is writing about. Worryingly he uses sarcasm in his title before we even begin reading the article, this highlights his penchant for hyperbole and attempts to evoke anger in the reader towards Miss Marjam, immigrants and those on state benefits.
