Our conversation about immigration is framed entirely on Nigel Farage’s terms.
Labour has completely capitulated the ground to the far right, the racism & the hate.
We no longer have a conversation AT ALL about how we need immigration & when we cut it, we pay the price. #r4today

One of the biggest moral failures in today's world is the way we are treating refugees.

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.

The number of immigrants in detention without criminal records has surged by over 2,000% since Trump reentered the White House.
Nearly half of all detainees have no criminal charges or conviction.
Trump was always lying about going after the “worst of the worst.”

Capitalism requires that we (working class people) "earn a living", which implies that we actually don't deserve to live unless we "earn" it by letting our surplus values be exploited by the capitalist ruling class. And this is all while having more than enough food, housing, etc., for everyone!
