We made a little collection of Tory perspectives on refugees, asylum seekers, and the #Rwanda policy. One of these people may be our next PM!

Starting with Rishi Sunak, who has consistently voted against a more accessible, supportive asylum system, he’s evil as they come…

1/13
Penny Mordaunt, following her Twitter posts from yesterday, she is best summed up by @WilksBecca
"Some have tried to paint me as marginally less monstrous than the other candidates - Let me assure you, they are wrong."

2/13
Liz Truss takes a leaf out Johnson’s book as she has been accused of lying about the horrendous #Rwanda policy, but she doesn't have any better ideas…

3/13
Tom Tugendhat suggests Britain's response to the refugee crisis has been woeful, but seems to be keener to stop refugees reaching the UK than supporting those in need, fleeing for their lives. Unpleasant would be an understatement…

4/13
Jeremy Hunt next. Not only would he ignore the #StopRwanda pleas, he would seek to EXPAND the 'cash for humans' scheme. One to watch out for as he could be one of the worst ones…

5/13
Grant Shapps seems to believe France isn't doing enough and should work with Priti monsterous Patel to address the issue. Backed Johnson far to often and no friend to refugees…

6/13
Nadhim Zahawi believes *some* refugees may be legitimate, but without elucidating how he knows which are and aren't, demonises the 'illegitimate' ones. Whilst victim-blaming them for risking their lives…

7/13
Sajid Javid chooses to believe the worst of asylum seekers fleeing for their lives. With this attitude, we can count on to only reinforce the #HostileEnvironment

8/13
Kemi Badenoch is happy to support Ukrainian refugees but otherwise 'doesn't care'. An Equalities Minister who doesn’t believe in the impact of colonialism and is unbothered by inequality….

9/13
Suella Braverman goes a little further to suggest refugees should be someone else's responsibility, and blames European courts for the UK having to do anything supportive. She also supports the #Rwanda 'cash for humans' scheme…

10/13
And last but not least, we end with the most villainous, Priti Patel. She is known to have endorsed the fascist movement linked to Indian PM Modi (HSS/RSS/Hindutva). Wanted to deploy LIFE THREATENING ‘push back’ tactics in the channel…

11/13
The #Rwanda plan is purely a 'cash for humans' scheme, lining Tory pockets:

12/13

lbc.co.uk/news/boris-bis…
Many Tory ministers, upset at being thwarted in their ghastly #Rwanda plans, now want the UK to be removed from the ECHR!

NEW MUMS REPORT RACISM IN HOSPITAL, SAYS MATERNITY LEAD

Nottingham Uni. Hospital's maternity services accused of "countless" examples of racist and discriminatory behaviour perpetuated by staff against new mums.

A personal perspective by @inthecloset
1/
bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
1,813 stillbirths, deaths of mothers or babies, or instances of harm are being scrutinised, with a further 70 referred.

These numbers contribute to the woeful statistics for racial disparities in maternal and child health in the UK
2/
theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Shocking incidents in the report include a newly bereaved mother whose accent was mocked by hospital staff, and a new mum who had bedding thrown at her after she asked for soiled bedding to be changed.

There is nothing that can excuse this.

Amidst abusing other passengers, Janice Wilding, 49, of Lilford Road, Lambeth, launched a horrific racist attack on a Black passenger, who (amongst others) was filming her. The attack only stopped when Wilding's companion pulled her off the train.

Later asked if she wanted to report the incident to the police, the Black woman replied 'What's the point? Nothing will be done.'

Anyusha Rose, who was one of the witnesses filming the incident, had the video published through My London, where it was noticed:

US REPUBLICAN HOUSE REWROTE LAW TO DEFINE ANTI-ZIONISM AS ANTISEMITISM

A personal perspective by @ThatAsianDude_

This move has been highly criticised by pro-Palestinian activists for its specific suppressive impact on commentary on the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
1/ Image
Voted in as law this week, it also represents the final nail in the coffin of the West dictating their version of antisemitism and defining what is/isn't racism for the world.

The US has declared it, the UK will follow, and so will the rest of Europe.
2/
tinyurl.com/5exhr2ve
The problem is the West has once again (wrongly) determined what constitutes racism without reference to the people most affected by it. Unfortunately without unity, the global South hasn't been able to combat this, in terms of defining the parameters of racism for ourselves.

FORMER RWANDAN REFUGEE SPEAKS OF HER SHOCK AT THE TREATMENT MODERN REFUGEE WOMEN FACE

Alphonsine Kabagabo grew up in Rwanda during the 70s and 80s. She remembers clearly the day her life changed forever. The president of Rwanda had died and she knew being a Tutsi,…

…things were about to get really bad for her community. It was the 7th April 1994. Over the next 10 days, 800,000 Tutsis were brutally murdered in a genocide by the Hutus. Alphonsine came close to losing her own life on a couple of occasions but…

…managed to escape to Belgium. It was there she began to rebuild her life, once she had gotten past the initial trauma of having escaped a genocide and being displaced. She was proactive and sought opportunities that would build on her prior experience.

CHILD ASYLUM SEEKERS ARE BEING PLACED WITH ADULT STRANGERS

There is something incredibly sinister about Suella Braverman, whose cult leader was accused of sex abuse and whose party is mired in decades of cover ups of child sex abuse by politicians, claiming that adults...

...refugees are posing as children, when the fact is that border officials are putting their ages down as 5-10 yrs older than they actually are. This has meant that children are being forced to share bedrooms with strangers who are much older than them.

tinyurl.com/4yhj6bpn
These hotel rooms used to be single occupancy but they are now to be shared by two people per room. Just recently we reported on the first wave of Afghan refugees arriving in the UK from Pakistan. The government changed its pledge to provide 'suitable accommodation' and...
