Every person aboard the Madleen is a hero.

The genocidal Israeli state's attack on unarmed activists aboard a UK-flagged vessel delivering aid to Gaza is a flagrant breach of international law.

The UK must sanction Israel, end all arms & surveillance, & expel its ambassador.

Did you know small and medium-sized towns and rural areas have become key in hosting #refugees and #migrants?

Yet, many still lack well-developed integration policies.

I’ve put together a starter pack on … 🥁… wait for it … citizenship! 😉

This is a first stab and I have surely overlooked people. Happy to add you to this list and expand while more people are joining bluesky.

Paddington is back on the big screen - what can he teach us about refugees?

theconversation.com/paddington-g...
Paddington gets a British passport – but the Home Office treats real refugees very differently
In being granted British citizenship, Paddington has fared far differently than most people arriving in the UK in need of help.
