"It is clear that the disaster was a product of political decisions. [...] So long as there are no safe, legal and accessible routes for people to take when fleeing conflict and the effects of #ClimateChange, or seeking to reunite with loved ones or to search for a better life, there will be a business for #smugglers. Only states can open these routes. They choose not to do so."

Guy who came to England fleeing the war in Yemen spoke to O'Brien earlier. Saw his brother killed in front of him. Came through Europe, mistreated in Orban's Hungary, crossed the channel. Waited a year for leave to remain. Prevented from studying (wants to do Medicine) being told he must work full-time.

"The British sell weapons to the Saudis. We get bombed by the Saudis in Yemen. What are we supposed to do?"

The UK is shameful.

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.

There you have it, more important than your soaring energy bills, soaring inflation, soaring mortgages, NHS on its knees, economy worsening, etc., etc.
