Enver Solomon: 'When we hear the word ‘refugee’ do we think ‘giver’?' Despite misinformation that characterises refugees as a burden, their massive contribution to London is what makes the city the thriving metropolis it is today

We know why people come to the UK: because they already have family here, they speak some English, or they have long-standing ties that help them rebuild their lives in safety.

Political dissent is a democratic right. People understandably feel disenfranchised by austerity & government mismanagement.

But violence & racism must never be tolerated.

My letter to the Home Secretary urges respect to be upheld & action against all forms of hatred.
