@nbphillips1872.bsky.socialYes, dodgy immigration practitioners exist and some people do lie on asylum claims. Based on BBC reporting though, people"d think it was far more widespread than it is, and completely fail to grasp how hard it can be to get asylum based on being LGBTQIA+ alone. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Show PostThe Home Secretary rightly points out that nearly all women who make dangerous journeys to the UK are survivors of rape. So why does the Govt. detain women on arrival, let women languish in the asylum system for months and years on end, & close safe routes that support women and children? 1/2
Show PostNot a dicky bird about thugs trying to sink a dinghy with a rescue worker on board or their claims to be "forming an army". Two boats of people seeking safety land and bingo bango they're the ones portrayed as the issue. Labour is complict in the rise of the far right. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
