We do not have open borders, we have people dying at rapidly increasing rates at our borders. Indefensible dog whistling & misinformation from government on this.
The collapse of Legal Aid in Immigration & Asylum is staggering. Research from Jo Wilding shows the depth of it: over 54,000 people unable to access a Legal Aid lawyer, a 57% deficit, up from 17% in 2021.
Asylum decision making can’t be relied upon.
Racial abuse, physical assaults and no beds: asylum seekers tell of brutal conditions at Manston migrant centre
‘Referred to as numbers’, forced to sleep on a floor with hundreds of others.
The reality of the UK’s ‘proud tradition of offering sanctuary’ https://t.co/5EmoURMYTq
This is a significant ruling. Home Sec ruled to have breached her duties leaving people destitute without recourse.

There’s been a pogrom in Illinois US, planes need to be sent in…
Meanwhile in the real world, checkout the sheer entitlement of this woman attacking a Palestinian family just for wearing hoodies with Palestinian symbols

Now imagine if I, or any Muslim told 566k followers to buy axes if UK police (who I describe as “your enemy”) knock on the door like @LozzaFox did?
“Patriots” were jailed for tweeting far less than this.
How is this not direct incitement against police?
