Yes, dodgy immigration practitioners exist and some people do lie on asylum claims. Based on BBC reporting though, people"d think it was far more widespread than it is, and completely fail to grasp how hard it can be to get asylum based on being LGBTQIA+ alone. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Also quite misleading to say children will be exempt from the refugee tax. Yes a 5 year old won't be expected to pay but their parents will and that will still keep that child at destitution levels, taking vital earnings and benefits income from families.

Again, it's not about whether Pike "deserves" to suffer for what she did. It's about whether we as a state and society are okay with paying taxes so that a person can be injected with gray market substances that leave them disabled by a doctor known for botching executions. Amnesty calls it torture.

It is incredibly telling, to me at least, how Cameron and May were more progressive on trans rights, and yet even those areas of recognition are being rolled back/completely destroyed by Labour, yet trans and non-binary individuals are ignored, talked over, and told to shut up and support Labour.
