At least 160,000 people have been granted refugee status over the past five years. It now seems they are intended to be caught by the Government’s plans to make refugees wait up to 20 years for settlement - even for those just months away from ILR

Our politics are still defined by resentment & hatred of these people.
We still believe that they can be perpetually denied all the safety & comforts that we have always taken for granted.
We dehumanise ourselves & our society by treating their lives like they're worthless.

Today is the 4th anniversary of the worst ever tragedy in the Channel.
At least 27 men, women & children drowned in the freezing water, & 4 more have never been found.
Since then, neither we nor the French have done a thing to offer people in this situation with real solutions.

Imagine if 2000 children had gone missing from boarding schools. How much outrage there would be. Imagine how quickly there would be demands for inquiries and actions. Instead because these are unaccompanied asylum seeking children they will either be ignored or blamed for being trafficked.
How is this not the top story on every news bulletin?
This has been happening for years and instead of doing anything to protect children successive governments have made the situation worse. This isn't just on councils. It is part of failings on a State level.

1. Family reunification is ALREADY limited to "close family"
2. Forcing people to avoid claiming benefits they are entitled to and need under threat of being refused citizenship is horrifically cruel. That was the policy under Michael McDowell and it caused great hardship to the most vulnerable.

New: major overhaul of immigration laws to see citizenship denied to those who got welfare, or are in debt. Family reunification only for close family, tighter rules around self sufficiency. Changes to revoke residency for those who commit serious crimes

Just one of the many reasons we shut down our Twitter account in 2024. Musk’s feature inadvertently revealed Twitter as being an engine of fake accounts involved in hostile state actor interference. The feature was quickly disabled, but screenshots exist of where the posts are coming from.

A very important thread. Anyone involved in the decision to distribute money to the South East Antrim UDA must resign.
Three different articles on the BelTel alone today, showcasing appropriate anger at PEACEPlus (the EU programme) and Co-operation Ireland for financing proscribed organisations, specifically the South East Antrim UDA, that was behind the Ballymena race riots in June.

It has an article about a minor marital row about a book club though.

From End Deportations Belfast on the French Inquiry intended to find links between the left and terror which evidenced far-right terror links instead. Clarity on terror activities in far-right mobilisations is the first step in confronting it.
A Lesson From France? The Parliamentary Inquiry That Linked The Far-Right With Terror.
It is, in fact, possible Since August 2024, we have been calling for an independent inquiry into the PSNI response to the race riots. It seems that, as right wing extremism engulfs not just Ireland…
