74 years ago, on the 22nd June, 1948, the HMT Empire Windrush docked in Essex with hundreds of Caribbean immigrants on board.

They had been invited to the UK by the government to help rebuild Britain after the second world war. Many found jobs in the NHS and other sectors lacking workers.

At the time the Caribbean was part of the Commonwealth so the Windrush Generation - the people who arrived into the UK from the Caribbean between 1948 and 1973 - were free to live and work permanently in the UK

This #WorldRefugeeDay we would love you to pause for a moment and think what it means to be a refugee, why it matters to support refugees, and crucially, what we can ALL do to help 🧡✊
1/5

Because for refugees, the situation they have fled and the situation they find themselves in, can be massive, traumatic sticking points. Sometimes barely an escape at all - 'out of the frying pan into the fire', as it were. This #WorldRefugeeDay please listen...

@JCWI_UK

This #WorldRefugeeDay please consider how YOU can act to help. Can you raise awareness on social media? At home, at work, with friends? Can you donate to organisations already fighting for refugees, like @JCWI_UK?

#NationalityAndBordersBill #PCSCBILL

THREAD: The motive; could the cruelty have been imported here from a faraway land?

East meets West

As the Bill came back to the Commons yesterday, let’s consider the some of the key driving forces behind its ideology. 1/

@BorisJohnson

Yes, Tory MPs have been supporting the Bill, however the lion’s share of the desire and drive arises from both @BorisJohnson being the PM, and the Home Secretary @pritipatel pushing it in order to appease their voter base. 2/

Patel is especially invested as she was charged to deliver the signicant electoral pledge of restricting immigration. However, the question of why Priti Patel as a PoC is hell-bent on pushing the #NationalityAndBordersBill has been asked a lot recently 3/

THREAD: #Rwanda, is it the best choice?

As we have all had had time to mull over the extraordinary revelations from last week, we thought it might be now a good time to dissect through some of the issues
This thread will focus on Rwanda in relation to the #PritiPatel deal. 1/

Most of you will have heard of #Rwanda from "Hotel Rwanda" a film that tells a bit about the Genocide that happened in the country in 1994 - in 100 days between April-July - >800,000 Tutsi people were killed in a national Genocide.
Rwanda has been rebuilding itself ever since. 2/

Why is it important that we dissect this deal from the #Rwanda angle?

Well put simply - its because the British gov #BorisJohnson #PritiPatel are deliberately not telling you, if they did, most Britons would be appalled & disgusted at how bad the scheme is for RW & refugees. 3/

THREAD:
Who are the real criminals?

The #NationalityAndBordersBill is cruel, steeped in #racism and it criminalises...

[2/19]
Lets first consider the sentiment underpinning this, it is probably best expressed by Conservative MP Bill Wiggin while speaking at the Commons Liaison Committee on Wednesday 30th March, addressing the Prime minister as he outlines in his view the “right” sort of #refugees

[3/19]
In reply to Bill Wiggin’s question, the Prime Minister sighted the #NationalityAndBordersBill as being the solution.

Let’s take a brief look at this dreaded #NABB: When the Bill was devised, it was rushed through into official consideration containing placeholder clauses

#NationalityAndBordersBill #SOC

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

[3/8]
#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
