They separate people up & start shipping them off to camps too satisfy the appetite of the racists they have encouraged to hate for their political ends. This is what fascism does. Points a finger at the weakest “it’s all their fault.” #RwandaDeportation
From the Breaking Point Poster to the deportation to Rwanda of people who’s legal right to claim Asylum is being Denied by this far right government - you can trace a clear line. A clear direction of travel. Who will they tell us to hate next? You? Me?
They came for the Junior Doctors, the nurses, the teachers, (the victims of Windrush will tell you this is nothing new). Ask those who have spent 5 years campaigning for justice for Grenfell. You are most valuable to the government as hate figures. As those to be “othered”.
White privilege can be broadly defined by the ability to simply not pay attention to what is happening to those around you because it does not effect you. Therefore it’s not your problem. But now is the time to stand up. To scream “No! We will not accept this. We stand with YOU.”
I have warned for many years that we are slipping into a democratic coma. We are watching the totally erosion of what those who fought in WW2 have their lives for. Liberty and freedom and recognition of common humanity. It is a betrayal of their generations sacrifice.
Creeping fascism is just that. It creeps. In the shadows. Stalking and waiting for the outpouring of hatred. Engulfing reason and justifying the unjustifiable. And all it takes is for good people to watch and do nothing. The deportation of the desperate and vulnerable is a crime.
I believe we are better that this. That we have forgotten the huge power of collective action. So I ask you. Shout from the rooftops. Tweet, email, rally, protect. Or democracy will go to its grave and Facsism will provable in Great Britain.

Mad isn’t it. @RishiSunak cocks up royally and loses £11.8B in fraudulent Covid loans… and now we are basically bailing him out with almost the exact amount added to National Insurance.
Remember this when we are told that “we can’t help” the most vulnerable with the cost of living crisis
Remember this when we are told, again, that there is no more money for our “covid hero’s” who now are once again facing a huge spike in hospitalisations.

Putin has spent over 20 years destabilising the west. The bot farms and well funded disinformation war that cleaved the currency of FACTS apart, creating mass-doubt, peaking with Brexit & Trump.When we watched Syria’s civil war from the sidelines Russia walked into the gap. (1/7)
The city of London operating as the Oligarchs valet. Millions deposited in U.K. English Football clubs & Newspapers owned lock stock and barrel with money that locks in Russian cultural hooks. The Conservative Party has taken millions in donations of Russian money. (2/7)
The cultural left in Britain has even defended him. Even though he told us who he was again and again. Ukrainian sovereignty will now be tested to limit. How much does defending democratic countries matter if they are not in NATO? We will see. (3/7)

Britain. We need to talk. During WW2 The Kindertransport brought thousands of refugee children, the vast majority of them Jewish, to Great Britain from Nazi Germany. We celebrate this empathy. But now we block life boats saving desperate people from drowning in the channel. (1/6)
Despite the media narrative last year Britain took less than 0.026% of the worlds refugees. In comparison to our 20,339 Germany took over 1,000,000. (2/6)
Dehumanising people fleeing wars often due to our bombs destroying their countries is the worst kind of atrocity. It is a stain on the sacrifice made by generations before us to rid the world of fascism. (3/6)

It’s time we taught British people, in British schools, about what the British Empire did in Iraq, Palestine, Israel, Yemen & Afghanistan. It’s hard to impossible to understand what going on in the Middle East without knowing the colonial roots.
British people do not get taught about our role in the opium trade in China, massacres in India, the killing on mass of Aboriginal Australians until very late on. Many therefore never know of our colonial imprint on the wold & conversely why the U.K. has such a diverse population
This surely lies at the core of the cognitive Dissonance. We don’t know our past. Current events are seen through a populist/nationalist prism. Morally bankrupt politicians use this to their advance & cynically apply Nationalist rhetoric effectively.
