I speak up for migrants a lot. You know, because I am one. And because it’s the right thing to do. Every now and then, I get a Faragite telling me if I love migrants so much, I should house a refugee.

I love when they tell me this.

Thank you for speaking up. By the time I’d been here five years, I’d already spent thousands of pounds on visas. I’d bought my home. I’d been a high-rate taxpayer from the start. I’d already donated thousands of pounds to charity. I’d built my life here.
I’ve been a UK citizen since 2018. But I still care about people who came after me. Thank you for caring too.

@clacksee_author why don’t you house a boaty migrant?

@george.investing.accountant1 Oh, I’m so glad you asked. Thank you so much for reminding me. I’ve also been housing refugees in my home for more than a decade. At various times, I’ve had guests from Cameroon, China, Nigeria, Ukraine, etc.
You can sign up to take part too. There are a number of charities who organise hosting arrangements. Check out Positive Action in Housing, Opora, and Refugees At Home.
Thanks again for your excellent suggestion!

@clacksee As it happens, I just watched a pretty good video from @rebeccawatson on this exact topic, albeit US-centric: Somali Americans are Good, Actually (Spoiler: it's not just about Somali-Americans.)

(I agree wholeheartedly with both you and her.)
