Next year’s scandal, in which people get made unemployed or even destitute, or get expelled from the UK, bc of problems with the Home Office’s digital visas, has been so widely predicted, and the HO’s lack of concern so obvious, that you’ve got to assume those affected just don’t matter to it at all
Many unable to access eVisas to prove right to be in UK, Home Office admits
Campaigners say problems with digital transfer could affect hundreds of thousands of people on ‘10-year route’ visas

Hello current and possible friends! I’ve had a go at creating a “starter pack” of queer scholar activist types who I know (so forgive all the omissions). It’s a small and growing list. Let’s build a fab and fun queer scholarly-activist community! 🌈✨
