My little note to add to the more impt things already said about this: 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 is a template tweet.
So deep is this person's contempt for other human beings that these statements are just copied over.
That is relevant bc of the "murderers, rapists and paedophiles" bit. [1/5]

.@ukhomeoffice has never published full info on the proposed deportees, the crimes for which they were imprisoned, and the dates of release. No doubt there would be general bleating about data protection if there was an FOI, regardless of what deportees themselves said. [2/5]
The repeated refs to "murderers, rapists and paedophiles" requires laser-focus scrutiny bc it is inflammatory, it used as press-bait, and it may be a misrepresentation. *Many* of the people we have heard of aren't murderers, rapists or paedophiles. [3/5] theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/f…
To be clear - it shouldn't matter bc these deportations are wrong *in principle*. That is so bc these individuals have served their time and been discharged by the criminal justice system.
This is double punishment.
For (overwhelmingly) Black people.
Period. [4/5]

But given @pritipatel's love for the phrase "murderers, rapists and paedophiles", @ukhomeoffice must now prove its claims. Itemise the crimes of the deportees, sentences served, and dates of release. We don't need their names, but we need this at least.
B/c, tbh, you lie. [5/5]
