You could set up a 24/7 hourly shuttle service and the overall number of people wanting to seek asylum in the UK would hardly change, I know you know this. Those making out that absolutely everyone wants to come to the UK are deluded.

Desperate, desperate stuff once again. ✅ legitimises far-right obsession with small boats ✅ bound to disappoint target audience as goes nowhere near the “solutions” they’d be impressed by ✅ drives them to Reform, or worse ✅ unlikely to have any effect on anyone’s behaviour ✅ alienates everyone else

"Drawing on a two-decades-long study of refuge place-making in Iraq, she talks to curator and fellow architect George Kalivis about the rupturing of geographies during and after war, highlights parallels with the Palestinian genocide, and discusses the making of deep maps as a research method."

Anyone know why the deportation video seems to show HO staff doing the escorting? No Mitie insignia visible. The only ‘branding’ is “immigration enforcement”. The uniforms do look like HO. I know they sometimes assist but are they running whole operations now? Footage v similar to US govt’s DVIDs 😳
