The Nationality and Borders Bill evokes a chilling history for the UK’s East And South-East Asian Communities mediadiversified.org/2021/12/15/the…
"Indeed, it’s tempting to imagine how different Britain’s Chinese community might look now had an actual community of politically vocal ethnically Chinese been allowed to develop and grow"- @DanielYorkLoh
'the perpetrators and defenders of this frankly terrifying piece of legislation will argue long and loudly that the Bill’s powers will only apply to the most dangerous of criminals and the law-abiding majority need have nothing to fear.

I know you trying to be supportive & are happy to see us back. But yes it is temporary & whilst I understand that the calls for us to stay are coming from a place of caring, and need it puts an ENORMOUS amount of pressure on me. I feel like I'm letting people down. Please stop?
My phone hasn't been working for 2 days and that has given me the first semblance of peace had in the last 10 days cos now i only have to deal with stuff from my laptop, emails, dms, insta, facebook et. Can you imagine how stressed someone has to be to be happy their phone broke?
I've gone to my local pub @eaglealehouse 4 times in the last 6 days because they don't have wifi, so I can get away from things for a bit. Also cos they have the best ale, community and staff in London. but that's by the by i used to go once every 2 weeks...🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

NEW @WritersofColour - The Nationality & Borders Bill: Imperial nostalgia, fascist resurgence and social control mediadiversified.org/2021/12/13/the…
“The Nationality and Borders Bill should force us all to rethink representation politics – if we have not already, and to accept many of the premises that sustain the quest for ‘equality’ are ill-conceived”
“The outdated and oversimplified notion that racism = prejudice + power (which is usually taken to mean within western contexts that people of colour do not have the social power to enact racist violence) has a lot to answer for.”

NEW @WritersofColour - The Nationality & Borders Bill: Imperial nostalgia, fascist resurgence and social control by @KGuilaine mediadiversified.org/2021/12/13/the…
I (Sam) wouldn't have taken the decision to start publishing @WritersofColour again if I had not seen this thread by @KGuilaine I knew that there wouldn't be a commissioning editor in the UK who would approach her and ask her to expand on this.
that would just simply be a waste. I've seen it time and again. Cosy, lazy editors getting the same privileged cosy legacy writers to submit any old tired column in. Well we have never done that @WritersofColour and aren't about to start.
