There are proposals to cancel Indefinite Leave to Remain.
That would tear families apart — including my own.
My wife could have been separated from her children under. People like my friend Tariq, who’ve lived here since babies, could be taken from their communities.
These people are Britain.

The deadliest Israeli airstrike during this "ceasefire". 30 people dead since yesterday.
This is also a very strong argument in our recent discussion here about effectiveness of our protests. I am so very sorry to be right. We can protest and protest till the kingdom come and it'll change nothing.
