“The only way we’re going to get safe pathways, the only way we’re going to avoid… these perilous journeys, the only way we’re going to get criminal gangs out of this equation is if countries of origin, countries of transit and countries of destination work together.” #ProtectMigrants #NeverAgain #RefugeesWelcome #StandUpToRacism https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/greece-hunts-survivors-migrant-shipwreck-least-78-dead-2023-06-15/

The two latest posts on the GPLB:
"Tory MP Bob Stewart charged with racially aggravated public order offence ... after the complaint from activist Sayed Ahmed Alwadaei, who says he is living in exile after being tortured in the Gulf state of Bahrain"
and
"Suella Braverman, the home secretary, is about to make a statement to MPs about illegal immigration."

@wendinoakland Surely she should just retire, no? What is she, 212 now?
In other news, I see one of the brightest minds in Congress has been pontificating on the nuances of the English language 🙄😡

I don't know what to say about this.
David Starkey at #FashCon
"[He] claims in his speech that Black Lives Matter "do not care about black lives", but "the symbolic destruction of white culture"
He adds that the Left "want to replace the Holocaust with slavery in order to wield its legacy as a weapon against Western culture"

First you have an oversimplified vote which gives racists a fig leaf to hide behind;
then you do nothing about the immediate and precipitous rise of racist attacks;
then you spend *years* spouting increasinly blatant dog-whistle, proto-fascist, racist authoritarian bullshit, with the help and consent of 90% of the British media.
And this is what happens.

Words have consequences. Not for the racists in government though. 🤬

I’m so proud so many people went to #StandUpToRacism’s march on Saturday. There were thousands of us in London making it clear that #RefugeesAreWelcome. It’s also good to see the usual suspects teaming up once again: persons of colour, the LGBTQ community, students and socialists. We all stand together 🐸🎶
#standuptoracism #refugeesarewelcome
WOOP WOOP! 🥳 🥳
Thanks to everyone who marched today in London, Glasgow and Cardiff - you speak for me. ✊

Possibly the greatest crisis facing the U.K. today is racism and xenophobia. What is worse is the fact that the Tory government is promulgating the narrative: “One hundred million displaced people around the world are waiting to come here”! NO THEY ARE NOT!!!
The very idea that the Torys are courting the racist vote to secure another term in office, is straight out of the NAZI playbook.

More than 100 anti racists turned up to oppose the fascist Patriotic Alternative's anti immigration demo in Hull today.
We didn't let them rest for a minute.
Nobody involved in that demo can have any illusions they are part of anything other than a far right freakshow.
Very important piece exposes Farage, Telegraph and co. lies about the UK census figures: 'all the data points to a society that is increasingly diverse (rather than segregated), and increasingly comfortable (rather than anxious) about that diversity. In fact, British attitudes towards immigrants today rank among the most positive globally. It is these attitudes that define Britain today, not some archaic belief that only white Britons are true Britons.' https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1599678301647560704.htmlhttps://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1599678301647560704.html #StandUpToRacism
