Ongoing reflections on events around the Calais border

[Notes at the Border @NotesATBorder]

#UKGovernment/@ukhomeoffice extending their Hostile Environment to every inch of the #UK... Presumably not condoned by @glastonbury itself...?

immigration enforcement at @glastonbury.

They said they’re here monitoring for “adverse reactions” to them, as justification to speak to people. the hostile environment extends everywhere

🚨 A woman who was born, raised and never left the UK has been left stateless after her application for a passport was rejected. https://t.co/irYWzwIUD6

The states who claim to want end smuggling and other so-called 'illegal' means of survival are leaving people with no other choice.

[Notes at the Border @NotesATBorder]

This morning in #Dunkirk, French police (co-funded by the UK) tore down the tents of people without houses. What are these people to do?

[Utopia 56 @Utopia_56]

Ce matin, 20 vans de CRS et de gendarmerie sont mobilisés pour détruire et expulser un campement de personnes exilées près de Dunkerque.
Nos bénévoles sont sur place pour rappeler que ce rituel de la violence ne mène nulle part.

Yes.

[David Slotnick @David_Slotnick]

Lockheed Martin stock is down more than 5% a day after a Twitter Blue-verified account impersonated the defense company and said it was halting sales to certain countries, including the U.S.

Similar declines at Eli Lilly after an impersonator Twitter account. $LMT $LLY

[Stop Deportations @StpDeportations]

BREAKING: Three protestors charged with offences carrying max sentence of life imprisonment for blocking Jamaica deportations last November.

Trial will be held at Lewes Crown Court on 30th May 2023, for 7 days. Attendance welcomed!

[Zehrah Hasan🥷🏾🚩🇵🇸 @zedhas3]

🚨🚨More police powers & border controls start today, with the Policing Act + the Borders Act coming into force.

They will brutally oppress refugees, protesters & the GRT community.

Through community organising we can resist this violent legal regime & keep each other safe 🧵

Tal vez no han visto los titulares en Inglaterra. Cientos de personajes públicos y poli­ticos, el Pri­ncipe Carlos y miles de personas en el pais se estan uniendo en contra del Plan de Rwanda. Les pedimos que no vuelen los aviones @privilege757. #ParenLosVuelos #StopTheFlights

@hifly_airline @mirpuri_org Please don't help Priti Patel deport people to Jamaica. Stop profiting from pain, tearing families apart and forcing people from their homes. #Jamaica50 #StopthePlane @Family_4Justice @detentionaction

[Notes at the Border @NotesATBorder]

In May 2021 ppl in Glasgow stopped a Home Office van from driving off with 2 people for alleged 'immigration violations'.Community members held a sit-in around th van;now some are being prosecuted,criminalised for looking after community members and protecting from state violence

[klaus @klausmuzik]

1 year since the amazing resistance on kenmure street also marks 1 year since me and 2 other people were brutalised and arrested there. we found out in feb that they're prosecuting us. trials currently set for 3rd and 4th august. witnesses or footage could help our defence...

@iberojetair_es @amotasan Please don't help Priti Patel deport people to Jamaica. Stop profiting from pain, tearing families apart and forcing people from their homes. #Jamaica50 #StopthePlane @Family_4Justice @detentionaction

A really important thread. Why are nations so insistant on #borders and #territory when people are so desperate for simple safety?
The #UK #government want to send traumatised people like this to #Rwanda.
#SeaWatch #Migration #RefugeesWelcome #Trauma #Sea #Boats #Frontex

[Bren Dan @_Brendan01_]

I’ve been away with Sea-Watch for the last few weeks. I feel that I want to share what happened with one of the boats we went to rescue. Boat 4 out of 5 boats rescued. A sinking rubber boat, with over 50 people in the water had been spotted by a plane. It was over 10 miles away.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Tonight MPs are voting on the Tories' Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill.

It's an attack on our democratic liberties and our right to peaceful protest.

I am voting against this Tory descent into authoritarianism.

[Notes at the Border @NotesATBorder]

100,000 people fleeing immediate threats to be allowed into the UK? Did @pritipatel and the UK gov. make this up on the spot so the public would 'shut up and go away'?

[Paul Brand @PaulBrandITV]

It would appear not everyone in the Home Office is clear on the policy yet either... I am told it will be written up and sent out to journalists shortly.

[Notes at the Border @NotesATBorder]

.@ukhomeoffice your mass deportation to Zimbabwe would banish British residents from their homes & tear parents away from their children. Reconsider this dangerous & reckless plan now. https://t.co/e5gukGwJOV

@miss_meabh @GeorgePointon_ Being driven to consume until you destroy yourself and the world around you? Burger Monster is surely a more subtle critique of capitalism, consumer society and the place of the fast food industry within it.
