This is obscene. The vile Shabana Mahmood has confirmed the new immigration rules will be retrospective.

"Under the incoming rules they will have to wait 20 years after they arrived before they can apply for settlement. It means more than 10,000 refugees who were set to qualify for settlement next year will now have to wait a further 15 years before they can settle"

These are the real no-go zones in our towns and cities..

"NHS staff who care for patients in their own homes fear some areas have become “no-go zones” for them because of the presence of St George’s flags, health leaders have said.

Black and Asian staff have been left feeling “deliberately intimidated” as a result of the flags that were put up in many parts of England during the summer"

Crossing from Switzerland to Germany in Basel by train, two different sets of police officers only checked the only brown person in my car. To be clear, he got checked twice, and he was the only one who got checked. How is this legal? #racism

From the internal MetPol review:

"Anti-black outcomes in policing are not random. They have been built in. And they have been named, again and again, by families in grief, frontline officers, unions, activists, whistleblowers, campaigners, and formal investigations.”

"But the moment you take that leap from “housing is scarce” to “it’s the migrants’ fault,” you’re not talking about housing anymore, you’re scapegoating. When you say “schools are full because of refugees,” you’re not highlighting education problems, you’re weaponising them. That simply is not "concern", it is bigotry"
