It’s disgusting. Several of my children’s school friends would have been deported under this regime. Most had families who worked hard, paid taxes, got their children to uni etc and they in turn contribute richly to our local community. Erm… this is in the PMs constituency btw .
Not everyone is unhappy about the Government's descent into anti-refugee politics

My granddad was a refugee, my wife, our close friends and those of our kids are either immigrants or the children of immigrants.
Do ministers ever think about the message their rhetoric on "handouts" and "golden tickets" for migrants sends about whether this is a government for people like us?

‘These are not numbers – they are people’: what ex-communist Slovenia can teach the world about child poverty
Slovenia’s children are less likely to know deprivation than any other European nation’s. Is that because of what the country is doing now – or its socialist past?

“I hate the way that disabled lives recede out of view because other people are too squeamish to talk about them, and I want to confront that tendency. Mostly, though, I think Max is already a thousand times more interesting than anyone I’ve ever met, and I want to tell you about him.”

Their work is extraordinarily courageous - they are constantly targeted by Russian forces, in violation of the Geneva Conventions.
