Workers with a migration backgound recorded this powerful poem during the pandemic. They feared the UK and its politicians would soon forget how they helped the country survive. And they were right. Fickle politicians who clapped for them then now call them "strangers".

Twenty years is not a probation period, it is a lifetime. If someone has lived here for nearly two decades, worked, paid taxes, raised children, and built roots, then to say “pack your bags, your country is safe now” is not policy, it is cruelty dressed up as process.

Since 1980, the ECHR has heard just 29 UK immigrant deportation case, and the UK won 16 of them. Quitting will make no material difference to immigration, just weaken protections for absolutely everybody in this country. But Farage and the Tories know that.
