"New guidance states that anyone who enters the UK illegally having made a dangerous journey, which could be via boat, but also by means such as hiding in a vehicle, will normally be refused citizenship, regardless of the time that has passed"

FFS this is worse than Patel or Braverman even proposed.

UK to reject 'dangerous journey' refugees citizenship - BBC News

BBC NewsUK to reject 'dangerous journey' refugees citizenshipThe Home Office change has been condemned by the Refugee Council and some Labour backbench MPs.

[Bishop Rose Hudson-Wilkin] notes how the language used about slaves has transferred to asylum seekers.

“This thing that we hear often, ‘oh, they’re just economic migrants, they’re not real asylum seekers.’ Yeah, I remind the British that they were economic migrants when they went all over the world [with the empire]’”.
Spot on.

The Independent · Dover Bishop warns giving money to France to tackle small boats crisis is ‘killing people’By David Maddox

Hang on, what's this? You mean that drug gangs still exist?

Starmer was telling us just the other day that when he was DPP he smashed the drug gangs and could do the same for the people smuggling gangs bringing asylum seekers into the UK in small boats.

Surely this doesn't mean that there will still be people smuggling gangs when he's done that, does it?

Congratulations #Brexit! Gammon wanted to reclaim their country & now leaving the #EU accelerated #immigration... from outside the EU, absolute shock surprise! And 90% of net #migration is LEGAL, while #smallboats account for less than 10%.
And why do people come? To feed your mammy and wipe her arse. It's called the #care sector & the #NHS. Wanna take bets they next rush to #privatisation in a bid to raise salaries for #British workers, only to realise #capitalism likes low costs & high prices

"Before I was a politician I was the chief prosecutor... and we took down gangs that were involved in terrorism, guns and drugs, and do not accept that the only gangs that can't be broken are these gangs."

Wait, so if Starmer broke all the gangs when he was DPP, does that mean that there aren't any terrorism, guns, or drugs gangs now?

I'mpressive. I feel Starmer is not given enough credit for that huge achievement.

BBC NewsStarmer 'determined' to keep British border checks in CalaisThe prime minister wants to ensure the checks continue in France rather than in Dover.

Labour will not win a single vote being crueller to refugees like Harris didn't with all that Border crap.

The Media are lying to you. They are lying to your family, they support Trump

They'll be tormenting American asylum seekers soon, can you tolerate that as well? The people you speak to on here, in a camp, because Labour bent the knee to Trump

Think about what is happening here my fellow Brits.

Politicians who claim to be about "the Family" will take pleasure in breaking up these families because brown children scare the life out of them and the racist voters they want to appeal to.

The rest of us can go fuck ourselves, we're viewed like Larry The Cat, 'miserable creatures' that deserve nothing but contempt.
