Any idea of scrapping of tuition fees is for the birds while government continues an ongoing vendetta against migrants. Universities will struggle to survive the lost revenue from International Students. And that’s parking the fiscal catastrophe fewer Migrant workers pose.

Government have just closed refugee family reunion (RFR) safe route. 56% of grants for RFR were children & 37% were women. So the number of women & children crossing, and dying, is going to soar.

‘Starmer plans electronic ID cards for all to help stop UK boat migrants’
I can’t believe this nonsense is back again. A Trojan Horse policy that hoodwinks all of us into accepting deeply problematic ID cards that won’t remotely impact asylum numbers.

‘We are not even beginning to understand what it means to have a serious asylum problem’. She’s 100% correct.
We have a very serious asylum policy problem, so let’s talk about that instead of demonising the people enduring it.

As an immigrant, disinfo like this pisses me off.
We don't move here penniless. We can't.
EVERY international student brings £150K for tuition fees & living expenses. Then we work hard to make that money back and pay taxes.
Moving countries & careers is VERY HARD and we do it and we succeed.

It's two years today since the opening of Wethersfield: the prison-like camp where hundreds of people seeking sanctuary are shut away.
Here, we look back at two years of suffering & scandal to show why Wethersfield MUST close.

The Refugee Convention enshrines you may travel by irregular means to seek protection.
Put people in a boat by denying them all other means, then punish the survivors by forcing them back.
More lives lost, more damage, more legal challenges, still no courage in leadership.
