THREAD Why *now* for an article about crooked immigration lawyers?

Rwanda policy is in crisis and Govt need to throw mud at immigration lawyers.

This is distraction and dangerous. 1/
I’ve represented numerous victims of crooked immigration lawyers. My clients were genuine (they won in the end) but the lawyers they went to didn’t know how to prepare a real claim, they only knew how to invent a fake one. 2/
Crooked immigration lawyers are bad people. They don’t just break important laws - they rip off genuine refugees and give an excuse to turn on honest lawyers, too! 3/

I’m a human rights lawyer, and I represented 42 Bangladeshi strawberry pickers challenging the Greek Gov in the European Court for refusing to punish the farmers who exploited them.

And I am not alone 🧵 + Image
UK human rights lawyers took the Home Office to court in hundreds of successful cases when Ministers blocked legal & safe routes from Europe for refugees with family in the UK driving them into the hands of smugglers +
Greek human rights lawyers have fought for decades to create a proper asylum system in Greece, so that refugees in Greece wouldn’t have to use smugglers to get them to a country with a proper system.

They’re still fighting. +

“UK will send asylum-seekers to Rwanda!!” is IMO:

90% “we’re tough!”propaganda to voters, Tory MPs, Patel looking in the mirror

9% almost pointless “don’t come here!” propaganda to refugees

1% immigration policy +
Actual removals to Rwanda will only ever be a tiny number of UK’s refugees.

For everyone else it’s symbolic.

Patel & Johnson’s choice of symbol.
Patel’s nightmare: HO sends some refugees to Rwanda and hardly anyone else cares:

- no “tough” headlines, no drinking liberal tears

- no asylum-seekers en route to UK supposedly changing their minds (will happen anyway because of this announcement, but barely)

UK Home Office trails “Ukrainian Extension Scheme” to start 3 May 2022 for those with permission to stay granted before 18 Mar 2022, which is current or expired after 1 Jan 2022. No details yet. gov.uk/guidance/ukrai…
Let’s hope Gov grants Ukrainians already in UK at least the same leave as those coming under Homes for Ukraine. Would be bizarre if those already here temporarily were treated worse. They can’t go home! +
Home Office shouldn’t limit the scheme to arrivals before 18 March. Some people with visitor visas arrived after.

And they shouldn’t limit it to people who had leave. Why should asylum-seekers be treated differently?

160,000 people are calling on British Gov to lift visas for Ukrainian refugees. Please sign and encourage others to. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6095…
Visas aren’t for security - that’s done at U.K. Borders, as I explain here globalplayer.com/catchup/lbc/uk…
Listen to @CateBriddick explain clearly how lifting visas allow UK to help refugees who want to come - we dont need a new system. globalplayer.com/catchup/lbc/uk…

Will UK *now* announce real change on Ukraine refugees? I don’t believe so - more popular pressure will be needed. Short 🧵 theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/f…
Current position is - tiny concessions for Ukrainians with close family in UK - none for others. +
Patel’s strategy in her spat with @DavidLammy was clear - dress up moving staff around as if rules have been changed, when they haven’t. +
