Day 1677 as the war in eastern Europe continues, but it is moving west. All leading allies of Ukraine are targeted. It's given the cosy name of "hybrid war" but forget the first word. It's terrorism, or rather war, using people recruited by the military. Here's Sunday's🧵

Immigrants & asylum seekers are not our enemies. They are not responsible for the austerity, privatisation, erosion of civic life, thinning of democracy and concentration of power we suffer. But they're being punished for these things. Punished at the behest of the very people who *are* responsible.
