| They say: “New Prime Minister – same callous Home Secretary! Labour is whipping up hatred against asylum seekers and migrants with the help of some in the media. The government immigration plans promote more brutal laws: temporary refugee status, cuts to support which will force us into destitution, separating mothers from their children forever, restricted appeals and the withdrawal of legally trained judges denying people a fair hearing, more detention camps for children & families. Women say: We feel under attack. We see racist mobs outside our homes, while politicians stand by and even worse increase the hatred and misinformation. We see that as a result, people die in the sea and travelling over land trying to get to safety. We feel for them and know what happens to others could be our fate at any time. Immigrants do vital work – we cook, we clean, we care – if we stop everything stops. They wrecked our country and the wealth is here, so we have every right to come and claim back what was stolen. What is done to asylum seekers today is done to everyone tomorrow. Look at ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) in the US where government thugs are kidnapping and shooting mothers, 23 people have been murdered so far and 52 people have died in ICE detention camps – no one has been charged. This must never happen here. The millions that are mobilising worldwide against genocide, war, occupation, climate breakdown and other atrocities that force people to flee their homes, are determined to survive and fight – every life is of value and we will defend it. Africa and the rest of the Global South have been robbed of people and resources for centuries. We have the right to be here to reclaim that wealth. Please join us at our bi monthly lively protests – bring your banners — every campaign for justice strengthens us all.” |
