What was going through the minds of those jurors who decided to take part in the Diddy Doc. Embarrassing on all fronts. Fangirling and wilful ignorance of the cycle of domestic abuse. They come off as bad as Combs. Also how were they not sequestered?! Criminal injustice at its finest.

Glad this has been called out by the IASC. Seems a purposeful lack of understanding of the complexities of the asylum process and the NRM. It also disregards the experiences of survivors. Distrust in the system is already rife, this rhetoric isn't going to help. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Long thread: There are two main "defences" I see put forward of Labour which crop up: 1) If you don't vote for Labour you'll get Reform 2) It's all the fault of right wing media painting Labour in a bad light. The thing is that neither of these are actually a defence of what Labour is doing. 1/23

The current discourse goes to show many folx don't know/understand/want to learn about the realities of our immigration system. Whether that's someone applying for prohibitively expensive visas or the process of how you can claim asylum in this country. Its honestly depressing.

I re-watched the excellent documentary Once Upon a Time in Iraq last week, the colossal disaster of regime change wars predicated on BS 'intelligence' & the mirroring of the current situation was clear. The difference is the US aren't even trying to justify, I just hope the UK didn't follow along.
