“We are aware of Ms Jendrycha’s situation & are urgently reaching out to her […] to confirm her status in the UK” say ⁦@ukhomeoffice⁩.

I’m sure ⁦@MatthewRycroft1⁩ & his team will do their best.

But think about it.

A short 🧵/1. mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/o…

Along with approaching 6 million others, a Holocaust survivor’s citizenship rights in the UK were revoked on 1 January 2021, to be replaced with an inferior status.

And for no other reason than she (& they) belong to a disfavoured group (EU citizens).

A Holocaust survivor. /2.

She, along with countless others, faces the prospect that she may be denied even that lesser status. /3.

No one should have to apply to retain their citizenship rights in the UK.

No one should have to apply to stay in their home.

No one should be faced with discrimination, criminalisation or deportation because of who they are.

Not what they’ve done. Who they are. /4.

But that’s what’s happening. To millions of innocent people in the UK. Right now.

None of this was necessary. It was a policy choice by the Government & nodded through by Parliament. /5.

The Government & Parliament have the power to reverse this deep & growing injustice which shames the whole country.

Those involved in implementing injustice can decide to stop.

If not now, when? /6. End

P.S. Correction to tweet 4. The first point should be:

“No one should have their citizenship rights in the UK arbitrarily revoked & be forced to apply for the ‘privilege’ of having them replaced by a lesser status”.

That’s it.

Remember, remember the 15th of September. 1935.
