Not so Brave

Last week, under questionig from a Select Committee, the Home Secretary revealled that there are no legal ways to claim aslylum in the UK until a refugee were to arrive here.

And without a visa or other documents travel by train, plane or ferry is impossible, therefore the only route open to the most desperate is to go with people trafficers.

As I have said before, the inhuman policiy of Braverman, Patel and May relies on a stream oof highly visible refugees risking life crossing the Channel to justify their hardline and illegal policies.

That numbers of refugess have fallen over the last decade, and then compare the headlines in the papers and the BBC you would think there had been a massive increase.

As always with Conservative, be they Tories or the GOP, cruelty is the point.

And news came that Labour Leader, Kier Starmer has reversed the party policy on freedom of movement making it now a red line for the party.

If Labour cannot or will not speak for the oppressed, who will?

Not only because it is the right thing to do, but the UK economy is screaming for people to fill 1.8 million vacancies.

I cannot vote for a Labour party that does not back the reintroduction of freedom of movement.

And on a personal level, once that is brought back, and it will, if we can, we will leave this tiny-minded island.
