Ten years of fortress Europe has served only cruelty, profiteers and racists. The next decade is up to us | Maurice Stierl The hard right and far right are the political winners from the migration ‘crisis’, but only because centrist parties keep legitimising them, says migration and border researcher Maurice Stierl

Wrote an opinion piece for The Guardian: "Since migration has become the cornerstone of the current authoritarian turn, it is precisely around migration that resistance needs to form."

On this topic, I cannot recommend highly enough @trillingual.bsky.social's Starmer v Starmer profile. It is brilliantly put together, from title to final sentence. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Hardline migration policies are fuelling people smuggling, report finds As leaders try to break smugglers’ business model, research suggests strategy so far has had opposite effect

Rich countries are turning their backs on people fleeing violence & repression, so no surprise they’re forced to use smugglers.

Both having to flee at all & the means they use to do so are primarily problems for refugees themselves & no-one else.

Nothing’s going to change till we recognise this.

How the European convention on human rights became a battleground between the centre and the right | Daniel Trilling For 20 years, populists have been blaming the ECHR for endangering Britain by offering basic protections to immigrants, says author Daniel Trilling

A few weeks ago I wrote a piece on the 75th anniversary of the ECHR - and how it is threatened by the vicious politics of resentment that Labour and the Tories have enabled/encouraged in the past 20 years. This to me is what lies beneath the asylum "debate".
