The Sun has been told Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will on Monday propose confiscating jewellery, watches, necklaces from asylum seekers to meet asylum costs
This reflects the most controversial aspect of the Danish scheme - the Jewellery Law. The toughest Labour MPs thought this was OTT

Just wilful performative cruelty that is entirely out of step with the majority of British people.
How many Labour MPs got into politics in order to vote for stealing jewellery off of people seeking refuge from war and persecution?

One of the beautiful things about social media is that sometimes when you scream into the void, after a pause, a voice or two may answer back “fuck, me too” and you feel a little less alone in the world

Ridge: lots of people around the world are persecuted & we can't take them all
Alison Pickup from Asylum Aid: most people who flee their countries stay nearby
e.g Lebanon has 1.5m Syrian refugees. But 37,000 people arriving in small boats last year is tearing the UK apart, right?

The US and UK appear to be in a race to the bottom. A race to see who can be the most cruel and dystopian. The UKs new immigration policy is terrifying in its draconian purpose.

I saw someone defending one of the men implicated on the grounds that "actually, she was 15 and he was 41" and I really want to know how that sounded in his head.

We’ve reached the point where Trump supporters are willing to concede he might be on the Epstein list.
Rather than turn on him, as any decent person would, they’re asking “what’s so wrong with raping children?”
Anyone who asks this question should probably be locked up.

Governments and voters are both reacting to algorithm-shaped “public opinion,” not grounded priorities. Immigration feels urgent because platforms amplify fear, pulling parties into hollow performances of toughness. The far right reads that drift as confirmation it’s winning.
