One of our (rain-soaked!) organisers on the open mic yday at #ShutManstonDown.

Pilots and stewards refusing to take off have halted hundreds of deportations. @pcs_union is considering strikes against maritime pushbacks. Organised workers have the power to stop border violence.

Workers from Amazon to the NHS are showing now that the real way to win higher wages and better prospects is to #BuildUnionsNotBorders. (Keir Starmer take note.)
The 1905 Aliens Act was not only Britain's first modern immigration control and a piece of gross antisemitic violence.

It was also, sadly, an early e.g. of the mainstream trade unions being led astray by xenophobic scapegoating.
