@ProjectFearlessness Please can I ask people who are concerned by this to sign the petition to devolve powers to admit refugees to Scotland, Wales, and Nothern Ireland, and to boost this message?
@amshru @barfilfarm @thecommongreen @otfrom @pollyp @ScotHomestead the petition is now live but unfortunately it doesn't yet have many signatures. I've done all the bullying I can of my own followers to sign it, so it really needs other folk to take up the cause.
Petition: Devolve immigration powers for refugees to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland
It's notable that our civilisation is prepared to expend more resources to rescue one billionaire than five hundred refugees.

@essjay @Alternatecelt Beware the multiple Dalrys! Youre talking of the Dalry that is over the border in Scotland, @Alternatecelt is talking of the one here in Galloway.
Welcome to Galloway, BTW!

@bosak Well, that of course is something which everyone in cool temperate zones has to prepare for. And we need to prepare by preparing homes and economic opportunities for the (millions of) people who will be forced to move.
The only thing xenophobia and anti-immigrant policies will lead to is inevitable war, and the world really cannot afford more war.
@MattMastodon could I get you to boost my petition to allow Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to admit refugees?
16% of signatories to my petition on #Refugees so far come from my home constituency, which is perhaps not surprising but illustrated how limited is my reach.
Please, everyone, boost the petition! Hospitality to strangers in need is surely one of the oldest human laws.

I'm very proud to see that Priti Patel's constituency has already produced one signature on my petition for #refugees.
Why don't you sign it too? We only need 99,906 more signatures!

I'd be very grateful to connect with people in Wales and in Northern Ireland who would help in promoting my petition "Devolve immigration powers for refugees to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland"
My petition 'Devolve immigration powers for refugees to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland' has now reached 59 signatures, which means we only need 99,941 more. Please help me get it over the line!

New blog post: Please sir, we want more...
"We are all, every one of us, potential refugees. We none of us did anything to merit being born in a relatively stable part of the world. If we cannot feel fellow feeling, sympathy, community, from those fleeing persecution, war, famine, and climate disaster, then we are less than human."

Seriously, people, who else? I need five volunteers (resident in the UK) to sign up to sponsor this petition (in addition to me). So far, I've got one. To sign up, just DM me your email address. Or mail it to me, I'm simon@journeyman.cc.
I CANNOT DO THIS WITHOUT YOU. If you would like this petition to happen, volunteer!
EDIT: Now up to three volunteers. two more needed. Please!

OK, who else? I'm looking four for more people to endorse an official UK parliament petition "Devolve the power to accept refugees, process claims to refugee status, and grant to refugees with claims assessed as valid indefinite leave to remain, to Scotland and Wales."
You need to be a UK resident. If interested please DM me your email address!

@dajb Surely the simplest way to save the taxpayer money would be to give all those claiming asylum automatic indefinite leave to remain, work, and pay taxes?

Great to see @Afzal4Gorton ready to oppose the Bill inside Parliament while we are out calling on the Government to welcome refugees!

@craignicol
Aye. If you have rights only because you're not a refugee, not fleeing persecution, then those aren't human rights.
There are no human rights in the UK any more.
