@SimonB This is Internment. It’s not something Ireland should ever entertain, given the hideous experiences so many Irish people had under British Internment in Northern Ireland. Calling such prison ships ‘flotels’ is disgusting. There’s nothing luxurious about putting 2 strangers in a six foot cell for months on end. ECHR may not be amused by this. @irelandpolitics #internmentcamp #refugees

Today in Labor History February 24, 1942: Canada legalized the forced internment of its Japanese residents in the name of national security. They forcibly relocated and imprisoned 22,000 Japanese Canadians from British Columbia. Most were legal citizens of Canada. The process included the theft, seizure and sale of their property. They forced many to live in stables and barns, in unsanitary conditions. In 1988, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney issued an apology and announced a compensation package, one month after Reagan did the same in the U.S.
