I don’t know who needs to hear this (well actually, I suspect I do) but, here comes a 🧵 for #WorldRefugeeDay full of stuff I have learned as a @Care4Calais volunteer 1/ 
There is nothing illegal about seeking asylum in the UK - however you get here - so long as you present yourself and immediately begin your claim. To conflate asylum with illegal immigration is to demonise the desperate and to misunderstand the solutions needed. 2/
Refugees don’t risk their lives in the channel for the chance of a hotel room or because people like me give them a cheap pair of trainers. They have no idea about the systems we have in place for processing asylum or what charitable help is available at any given time. 3/
