For years, politicians have insisted that scapegoating people seeking sanctuary & throwing migrant communities under the bus is the only way to win election.
Yesterday proved what we already knew to be true: people are far kinder and wiser.
Our communities stand together. Politicians: take note.

Take a moment to support & share this petition against government proposals to ambush Refugees & lock them out of settlement.
Itâs written by refugees, whoâve asked for your support to make this country their home.

âThe actual story is people crossing a stretch of deadly sea, in unfit boats, who canât swim, whoâve never driven a boat before, with life jackets that donât pass musterâ
If we were any sort of civilised country weâd be doing everything we could to save their lives.
P.s. Migrants prove your âvalueâ.
They think weâre all dumb.
Any idea of scrapping of tuition fees is for the birds while government continues an ongoing vendetta against migrants. Universities will struggle to survive the lost revenue from International Students. And thatâs parking the fiscal catastrophe fewer Migrant workers pose.
A hotel in Southampton being used to accommodate people seeking asylum has been subjected to an arson attack.
Pure racist violence.

Crikey! Didnât notice that Tony. Ridiculous
And government refuse to share any data on deaths at our border. So we canât even track which policies are driving deaths.
What put them in boats? Were they refused a visa? What family did they have here?
Until we answer these questions weâll never have proper asylum policies.
More lives lost including 1 woman & 2 children.
Government have just closed refugee family reunion (RFR) safe route. 56% of grants for RFR were children & 37% were women. So the number of women & children crossing, and dying, is going to soar.

The difference between having a Labour government and Tory government is barely discernible isnât Dan?
Government have plummeted so far down the anti migrant rabbit hole theyâre picking up where the Tories left off, dusting off their projects and reimplementing them.
They know these sites harm. They know they cost a fortune. Theyâre doing it anyway.
All these factors massively harm people & our communities. And they all come at an eye watering cost to us as taxpayers.
Which is why Labour always pledged to close them. Now theyâre planning to open more.
Meaning government make more wrong decisions, adding to appeals backlog.
Crucially people are unable to learn English, learn about UK customs & practices, unable to volunteer, build social bridges & bonds, damaging everyoneâs outcomes.
Unsurprisingly these awful places, in the middle of nowhere, without any asylum support infrastructure, lead to far higher mental health crisis, with suicidal ideation & self harm commonplace.
These sites also make it far more difficult for people to get legal adviceâŚ
Itâs being reported that Government are about to announce the furthering the use of Barracks to warehouse Refugees.
Ignoring the findings of the National Audit Office report that these are significantly more expensive than hotels. But thatâs just the financial cost

Weâre in another death spiral of click bait, reactionary policy announcements.
All utterly counter productive to having a calm dignified asylum system that works to reduce irregular migration and maximise good outcomes for the people going through it.
-Changed the asylum support system so folk on ÂŁ9.50 a week canât buy snowmobiles, time shares or childrenâs toys
- Theyâre considering using actual warehouses to warehouse people
All without any discussion or consultation, all without any evidence based understanding of impact
In the last week government have announced:
-Theyâre halving the âmove on periodâ for some Refugees, giving them just 28 days to find a home & a job bound to drive a homeless crisis
-Slashing refugee family reunion cancelling all applications, driving more into danger
100% correct. Exactly this. They use people seeking asylum, who are fully subjugated by the state, to test authoritarian measures to deploy on everyone.
We have one of the lowest asylum claim rates in Europe. And yet all they talk about is âpull factorsâ. There are no pull factors which is why we have ONE OF THE LOWEST claim rates in Europe.
Theyâll say âowt as long as itâs tied to lowering migration & the media will lap it up.
People who arrive are already given an ARC card while theyâre in the asylum system, and a BRP. And thatâs already chaos! BRPs with wrong names, getting lost, not being issued.
No oneâs ever been able to properly explain how ID cards would help with irregular migration?!
âStarmer plans electronic ID cards for all to help stop UK boat migrantsâ
I canât believe this nonsense is back again. A Trojan Horse policy that hoodwinks all of us into accepting deeply problematic ID cards that wonât remotely impact asylum numbers.

Yeah, sorry Charley. Itâs absolutely true. And the photocopying thing had us scratching our heads too. Itâs all horrible punishment for daring to lawfully claim asylum here.
ÂŁ9.95 a week, thatâs how much people in hotels are paid in lieu of working rights.
Pathetic posturing.

How was this allowed to happen? Not only is he an actual Councillor for Reform but he posted a series of anti Refugee, racist dog whistles on to his socials.
Each and every asylum decision he made must be reviewed.
What a shambles!
