Meet Dr Hari Reed, another Piddington resident.
Hari signed this open letter around a year ago…
Hari is also the joint CEO of the charity “Asylum Welcome”, who wrote the open letter.
Open letter coordinated by Asylum Welcome bel: -
“We are deeply concerned by the escalating hostility being directed towards people seeking asylum who are currently housed in our county. Dehumanising language, as well as actions such as intimidating asylum seekers or filming outside hotels, should have no place in our communities. They cause real harm, fuelling division and danger, and inflict fear and distress on already vulnerable people.
It is vital to remember that people in hotel accommodation are here because they are fleeing war, dictatorship, persecution, and terrorism. They are men, women and children seeking safety and waiting for their claims to be processed. They did not choose to live in hotels; the Home Office decides where they are housed. Families and individuals in our county have no control over these arrangements.
Vulnerable people are being used as a political football.
Our clients tell us they feel frightened and unwelcome when they see hostility directed at the places where they are forced to live. Many are already traumatised by what they have endured, and these actions deepen their isolation and despair.
At the same time, we also witness asylum seekers’ resilience, dignity, mutual solidarity and eagerness to contribute to British society. Their perspective, and the compassion shown by many local people, is too often missing from public debate.
Asylum Welcome has around 300 volunteers: local people who choose to give their time and energy to welcome newcomers. They see first-hand the difference that kindness makes — and they embody the Oxfordshire tradition of hospitality that should define us all.
Oxford and Oxfordshire are proud of their traditions of welcome. We call on political representatives, community leaders, and residents to affirm unity, reject hate, and ensure our county remains a place of safety.
Facts matter:
•Seeking asylum is a legal right under UK and international law, regardless of how someone arrives. Article 31 of the 1951 Refugee Convention — which the UK helped draft — makes clear refugees must not be penalised for entering a country irregularly to claim asylum.
•People in hotels are following the process required of them. The use of hotels is a Home Office policy, not the choice of asylum seekers, who are banned from working and survive on less than £10 a week for all essentials beside food.
•These are not “luxury hotels” – they are former hotels taken over and run by private companies working for the Home Office. Conditions are basic: shared rooms, poor-quality food, isolation, and long periods of waiting with no control over their lives.
•People seeking asylum are not a single group. They include families, children, LGBTQ+ people facing persecution, political activists, journalists, religious minorities, and young men escaping forced conscription. Men who make the journey ahead of their families are doing so because they are risking their own lives first, in the hope of later bringing loved ones through safe and legal routes — routes which are now extremely limited or closed.
•International law does not require refugees to seek asylum in the first safe country they reach. If it did, only border states would take responsibility, and the global asylum system would collapse. The UK currently receives fewer than 1% of the world’s refugees.
•There is no credible evidence that people seeking asylum commit more crimes than the UK-born population. Claims to the contrary are fuelled by misinformation.
We ask everyone in Oxfordshire to uphold our values of dignity, humanity, and neighbourliness. We stand together in solidarity with people seeking asylum.”

🚨BREAKING: Illegal migrant arrested in Manchester after horrific rape of 16 year old girl
Mourad Iyad Marei Salloum from Jordan was staying in a holiday inn paid for by British taxpayers when the attack took place
The politicians have blood on their hands
🚨 CAR CRASH INTERVIEW: ANDY BURNHAM DEFENDS DUMPING MIGRANTS IN EVERY TOWN BY CLAIMING RISK IS FAIRLY SPREAD!
Watch Prime Minister Andy Burnham completely fall apart on camera trying to defend his chaotic border policies.
Stammering, stuttering, and visibly terrified of his own words, Burnham actually tried to justify Operation Scatter by claiming that spreading unvetted arrivals across every single town in Great Britain makes it fair!
Think about the sheer insult of that logic.
His grand solution to local residents feeling unsafe on their own streets is not to stop the boats or deport illegal entrants, but to ensure that every single community in the country is forced to suffer the exact same risk!
The only fair policy is not scattering thousands of unvetted men into quiet British villages and towns.
The only fair policy for British taxpayers is detaining them and removing them from our country entirely.
Burnham cannot govern, cannot answer basic questions, and is turning Great Britain into an administrative disaster. The mask has completely slipped.
Watch this humiliating trainwreck and RT and SHARE everywhere to demand real border security NOW! 🇬🇧🔥
Media Release: Labor hiding plans for another MILLION Migrants.
Labor is trying to sell Australians a migration crackdown while its own Budget forecasts nearly another million people through net overseas migration over the next four years.
One Nation leader Pauline Hanson accused Tony Burke of using political accounting tricks to look tough on immigration while cramming in even more migrants.
“Tony Burke remains the Minister for Mass Migration. Labor is trying to sell Australians a migration crackdown. But it’s just another Labor lie. Their own budget shows that they plan to bring in another million people over the next four years.”
“That’s on top of the more than 1.5 million people they have crammed in since taking office. That’s larger than the population of Adelaide.
“And given they have never hit a single migration target, even after moving the goalposts, you cannot trust this Labor government on immigration.
“Having flooded the country, they have also shown they are willing to throw regional Australia under the bus by starving them of labour and tourists in their desperate attempt to look like they are in control.
“The government would rather destroy industries in regional Australia than face the problem of unskilled arrivals and students head on.
“The Prime Minister’s $6 million golf course rort and these migration cuts say everything about Labor’s mindset. They will protect safe Labor seats and destroy the regional electorates they never expect to win. They will always look after their elite university mates over Australia’s farmers and regions.
“Australians now have a clear choice. Labor will bring in another million migrants over the next four years. One Nation will tackle mass migration head on and return the number of temporary migrants back to 2017 levels.”
BREAKING NEWS: The Sudanese Australian lady who recently declared on prime time Australian TV that white Australians have no culture is in fact the daughter of a Sudanese war lord who abducted and enslaved hundreds of child soldiers and dozens of them died of starvation.
Australian state broadcaster ABC selected her to speak for the pro-migration side in a national migration debate.
She is the daughter of Sudanese warlord William Nyuon Bany - I found these detailed descriptions of his war crimes in a Human Rights Watch report from 1995.
A Sudanese illegal migrant stabbed a British man to death, in broad daylight in London, completely unprovoked.
He had a kitchen knife signed out to him by hostel staff despite being arrested twice, including once for possessing a dangerous weapon, just days before.
On @GBNEWS
THIS JUST IN: A teenager has been left with life changing injuries after an ACID ATTACK outside of the Arndale Centre in Manchester, U.K. this morning.
A 19 year old male has been arrested.
Wanna take a wild guess who the attacker is?
The fact the public was not instantly told tells you all you need to know..
🇩🇪 The leader of the Right-wing party in Germany, Alice Weidel, is right:
"A country that punishes for fishing without a license, but not for crossing its borders illegally, is a country governed by idiots."👏
Wel, well, well…..🤔 @AlboMP
DOES THIS FUCKEN BLOKE EVER TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT ANYTHING??? 🤬
LABOR recently handed $6M in funding to the Marrickville Golf Club, and Albo’s connection with them goes far beyond his claim that he had “absolutely no ties or contact at all beyond a $2 social membership given to him in 2012”
Video footage shows him at the club on various occasions pledging funds…
The lengths this guy goes to with his non-stop lying is practically a medical condition….
Does he really think no one will ever find out?
Porky pies and pork barrels from a pig of a PM…..
