UK's Floating Migrant Prison

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHbBlS9fao4&ab_channel=red.

The UK is using increasingly inhumane policies against migrants. The most recent example is a floating barge called Bibby Stockholm which has been compared to a floating prison and is being used as a detention facility for migrants. We spoke to the volunteer-run migrant charity Care4Calais, putting the migrant barge in the context of the UK's anti-migration offensive. Joe Cullinane of Care4Calais argues that the UK government's demonization of migrants is being used to distract attention from larger domestic crises.

The Independent - Bibby Stockholm: Most asylum seekers housed on ‘deterrent’ barge are not small boat migrants

'Most of the #asylum seekers so far housed on the government’s controversial #barge are not small boat #migrants and arrived in the UK legally, The Independent can reveal.

Ministers have claimed the #Bibby Stockholm and use of military bases as accommodation would “deter” English Channel crossings, but the majority of those so far selected for the vessel arrived by plane.'

That barge the government is (ware)housing up to 500 immigrants in looks miserable. Reminds me of my offshore days when room-sharing was common. Except these poor bastards enduring such conditions are neither well-paid nor get to go home after a couple-three weeks. Inhuman and inhumane. #refugees #immigration #barge

"Rishi Sunak is now under increasing pressure to explain why the government persists in planning to use the barge, which has been condemned by refugee organisations for being costly, cruel and inhumane."

BECAUSE FOR TORIES THAT'S THE POINT
