Please keep in mind the #BordersBill is back in parliament on Monday, and they’re due to vote on this…

THREAD:
Has the Ukraine crisis transformed Britain’s approach to refugees?
[2/8]
Considering this government won the last election based on their Brexit promise to “take back control” of our borders -

“One of this government’s central ideas is to be tough on immigration and asylum and next week it’ll bring back to

#NationalityAndBordersBill , but for now, it’s having to show that Britain is open to the people who need our help”

On one hand the government has been determined to hang on to a visa system which explains why they have been extremely sluggish in setting up their processes
[4/8]
Politically “they’re having to walk a delicate path”

They’ve had to change tact due to public pressure but not enough to let go of their #racist #NABB

British people have become more receptive to refugees, more so towards Ukrainian refugees than ‘other’ refugees.
[5/8]
However, as the @ukhomeoffice refuses to publish the #NABB public consultation, could this be and indication of the public’s mood shift towards other refugees in general?
[6/8]
The Government’s handling of the crisis, their response to people seeking sanctuary has been disgraceful due being politically led in their decision making! They misjudged the overriding public’s desire to help.
[7/8]
MPs now have a chance to redress their misgivings by voting this Bill down.

Ask your MP to reject #BordersBill, tag them in tweets and write to them, follow this link: save0urcitizenships.wordpress.com/mp-letter-nabb…

Bill of barriers for Child citizenship:

The fee for a child registering as a British citizen currently stands at £1012 and the home office confirms that the cost of registration to be
only £372.

The remaining £640 is therefore money made above the delivery of the service. Therefore, this level of fees do not reflect the cost of registration. And subsequently, under this government’s watch,

Here’s @LetsStopC9 outside H.o.L on why we have to oppose the racist
#NationalityAndBordersBill

A RACIST PIECE OF LEGISLATION WHICH MUST BE OPPOSED!

2/8

‘It creates an arbitrary two-tier citizenship system that any civilised society should be ashamed of!

It demonises & criminalises Refugees and infringes their rights under the Refugee Convention.

Migration is a human right & no human is illegal.
3/8

It targets British people with Black and brown skin, British people from minority ethnic groups, and makes them vulnerable to losing their entire material lives.

But It doesn’t threaten white British citizens this way.

IF THIS ISN’T APARTHEID, THEN WHAT IS?

Some of the @LetsStopC9 team attended the very important #protest to bring the attention of the House of Lords to the racist #NABB. Many powerful speeches were shared and we have been inspired!

#NationalityAndBordersBill
Our next steps as @LetsStopC9 will be to increase collaboration with other groups who share our goal - to stop the #NationalityAndBordersBill we are thankful to Sam from @WritersofColour for connecting us
We will continue to raise awareness around the #NationalityAndBordersBill and encourage people to challenge it, and will uplift the voices of other organisations working to fight it
