Day in, day out, I speak to ordinary people who are organising to welcome the asylum seekers accommodated in their towns.

They befriend, support them, reach out to them as fellow human beings.

That's the Britain I know, the one I see around me & we never get told about on TV.

RELEASED

We can now confirm that every arrestee from the Lift The Ban sign-holding action has been released. None have been charged.

Hundreds of the arrestees were taken to police cells. Hundreds were processed in pop-up gazebos after queuing for hours.

Motion passed by doctors at the British Medical Association refers to the recent Supreme Court ruling as ‘scientifically illiterate’: ‘sex and gender are complex and multifaceted aspects of the human condition and attempting to impose a rigid binary has no basis in science or medicine’.
Passed by the BMA conference today.

We've all seen what the EHRC has been doing.

Here's what you can do about it.

There are lots of protests happening today. And also actions like letter writing, or petitions.
