Social justice occupational world is full of charlatans.

People at grassroots - don’t automatically hold ‘professionals’ like us in high regard.

Check if we are listening, empowering and focused on our objective - create a better world.

Really no excuse what-so-ever to be like this when you claim to be:

- working at grassroots
- wanting systemic change
- against oppression / discrimination / inequality

PS I’d be grateful if someone can point me toward a clear Labour government statement rejecting Reform Party’s mass deportation plan. I was so busy today that I must have missed it.

PS One very minor point - this Times article uses Right to Remain's material... I felt incredibly ambivalent about that, given what the article is talking about.

A big thank you to all the anti-racist groups and people who are defending people in the asylum hotels. I hope other social justice movements (continue to) join us in protecting asylum seekers’ rights and dignity – we are in this together.

‘Crisis’ also provides a potential opportunity for crazy ideas to be normalised. See Reform’s policy proposals – too vile to mention what they are here, but have now been fed into public space. We really cannot let these proposals turn into reality.

If this goes ahead and the precedence is set, other judicial oversight over other matters could be removed more easily. Cue - a collapse of a legal system that is intended to protect people from the wrong or unfair decisions by states. Surely no one wants that?

As someone who used to assess grant applications, things like this pain me disproportionately.
