Let’s talk about some of the costs of borders and the hostile environment. Not the physical, moral, psychological etc costs – those are uncountable. This is about the millions of pounds that the Home Office pays every month to tech companies and arms dealers [a (long) thread] 1/?

These are the share prices for BAE Systems, Raytheon, Leonardo and Lockheed Martin from 7 October 2023 to 7 October 2024

Check out JCWI's explainer of the Hostile Environment, and all the ways you can be part of the resistance https://t.co/J6SgwvBBCa

I won't share it here, but the Home Office has just put out a press release bragging about...arresting 6 workers during a pre-dawn raid at a care home

Yep, you read that right - a pre-dawn raid targeting workers at a residential care home

[Mary Atkinson @MaryCAtkinson]

Even the Home Office's recent review showed that the Hostile Environment is racist, and serves only to stoke division in our communities

Yet the Home Office doesn't seem to have got the message - we don't want your racist Hostile Environment
