"I'm a mother and have had my door kicked in, there were about 30 of them. That's been happening for 8-10 years. However long we have been married, which is 16 years and have 5 daughters, the government want to split our family" #StopThePlane #Jamaica50
"A lot of people aren't aware what this racist government is doing, it's not in the papers, it's not on the news" #StopThePlane
"The youth must be involved, the adults should hold events where the children are invited too" #StopthePlane
"We don't want to be woken up (by immigration officers) at 5am, and then have to go to school, knowing what's going on, it affects us our school work. Maybe if the government know what's also happening to the children they might have more empathy"
"The home office are institutional abuser of black and Asian people" #StopThePlane

Why are you chasing people round the Internet who you don't follow saying to support deportations of black people? None of whom you know what crime they *may* have committed?
“I went to school, was granted a driving license, a National Insurance number and got on with my life never thinking it would make a difference. I am not here illegally,”
“If I get deported to Jamaica it’s a ten-year-ban before I can come and see my children again,” he said. “They will be in their late teens.”

“The home office said to me you can bring your children up by Skype. That’s totally outrageous.

Yeah. It's a slippery slope.

Now what?

'Next week's mass deportation flight to Jamaica on 18th May 2022 is an injustice that cannot be allowed to take place. 

If it goes ahead, the flight will tear apart Black British families & communities, traumatise children and exile people who are British in all but paperwork'
One person scheduled to be on the flight said to @BIDdetention

“I don’t think I could survive in Jamaica, I have no one there all my family are here, everyone – I haven’t been to Jamaica since I was a baby.
"I just want this plane ticket cancelled. You can’t send someone to a country with no support, no family, no nothing - especially when they’re suffering from mental health issues. I’m already integrated into UK life – it would be really hard for me."

The Colour of Madness: ‘The mental health system is not designed with us in mind’ mediadiversified.org/2022/05/10/the…
The book is a startling read, mainly because it’s still rare to hear these voices, in their own words and on their own terms. This is something radical psychologist, therapist and blogger Guilaine Kinouani notes in her foreword to the collection:
“Have no doubt that the traumas exposed here are collective and that they are intergenerational. Few of us are exempt from being touched.”

You're a Tory, you just don't know it yet - @SamanthaAsumadu

'If you live in Britain and unless you are Sikh or Muslim, you are a Tory. I've not excluded black people and Jews from this sweeping generalisation as it's a bit more complicated for us. White supremacy made it more complicated.'
(if you read to the end of the post you will understand why I exempted British Muslims and Sikhs (in the main) from being Tories, so stick with me. This is all fresh. As usual.)
