"I was told there were no women and children on small boats. I was wrong." Misinformation shapes how we see the world. When we hear the truth, perspectives shift. The reality? Make it safe. Make it legal. #goback#Channel4#gobacktowhereyoucamefrom
Refugees are looking for safety and to play their part in their new communities. They want to build a future. They want to contribute. No one chooses to be stuck in a system that limits their ability to integrate and thrive. #goback#gobacktowhereyoucamefrom#Channel4
Refugees have already endured war, torture, and persecution. Seeking safety shouldn’t mean sleeping rough, being mistreated, or having no way to rebuild. #goback#Channel4#gobacktowhereyoucamefrom
Conversations about refugees can feel confrontational. But if we only talk to people who agree with us, nothing changes. It’s not about winning an argument, it’s about understanding why people believe what they do and finding common ground.

We all want the best for our children. We shouldn’t condemn parents for feeling that brutal wars or totalitarian regimes make their homes less safe than the waters of the English Channel.

Putting yourself and your family in a dinghy is far from an easy choice. The people making these crossings are not reckless, they are desperate. Take a moment to read their stories: https://t.co/zppQfDx8Hy

‘The way to respond to politicians who paint refugees as illegals and seek to dehumanise migrants is not to play them at their own game. It is to be proud about our integration story, celebrate our values and focus on the importance of a shared community.’ https://t.co/2vGtR6ZneE

Refugees are ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. They need safety, support to integrate and then go on to play a part in their new communities. From community leaders and NHS doctors, to teachers and business owners. Watching #GoBackToWhereYouCameFrom?

Think being a refugee is a choice? It’s not one you ever hope you have to make. War, violence and persecution forces people to flee for safety. If you are watching #GoBackToWhereYouCameFrom, take a moment to hear their stories ⬇️

‘Analysis estimates allowing people in the asylum system to work sooner could result in a net benefit of £1.2 billion to the UK Instead of unlocking this potential, our asylum system increasingly traps refugees in a cycle of homelessness.’

Today we join over 240 orgs to stand in solidarity with those affected by the recent acts of violence, many of whom have already fled unimaginable horrors to try to find safety. This must be a turning point.

We opened the doors of the mosque a week after protesters came outside, and we invited them to come and talk with us.
The event went amazingly well, some of those who protested were here, in addition to many other curios members of our society.
We were asked tough questions about women's rights, the Prophet's ﷺ wives, and sharia law amongst many other topics and we gave honest answers.
We made many new friends and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive.
