Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Just fuck off with this. How about start the conversation by highlighting how much immigrants contribute to the UK - not least by propping up the NHS and social care system!

Also - forced volunteering is not volunteering, it's unpaid labour.

An interesting policy debate: should you just give institutions money to do research, or make them bid?

In think-tanks, two of the most effective outfits over the past twenty years have been Resolution Foundation and Centre for Cities - both with core funding
