State sponsored trafficking and others examples of this Government breaking the law.

 The behaviour of the British Government is increasingly distressing.  They are behaving not unlike fascist regimes, when people have traipsed miles from say Afghanistan to England because they  worked for the English, but cannot get a visa to come here because we are so incompetent at sorting out visas,  they could finally get here only to be imprisoned on arrival and then sent to Rwanda.  

Monday came and the hope of many opponents of this law, was that the Law would step in but to my dismay for once the Law did not stand for the righteous.  It took the European Courts to stop this illegal act, and now rather than taking note and re thinking their behaviour the Government wants to get rid of the lawmakers. 

This Government has shown itself capable of breaking the law, lying about it and then breaking another law, now having signed the Brexit agreement, which was never oven ready,  they now want to unilaterally break the agreement.  How any Tory M.P justifies their actions is beyond me?  They grow closer and closer to the morals of Hitler and Stalin, whilst pretending to uphold moral values. This kind of double think is a British speciality but never in my lifetime did I think it would or could be this bad. 

Most of us just wish we had somewhere safe to live.  The UK has for a long time been hostile to people who have come here, mostly to the benefit of the country, but now that hostility has boiled over and the people in charge of some of these legal changes were from immigrant or refugee families. Rather than showing understanding and compassion based on the experience of their family, it is almost like they have to be more firm in their rejection of others, than the British.  This is one of the manifestations of history of racism and abuse   I do not know how the Tories will be stopped from terrorising refugees.  Labour are not better, they pandered and did not challenge anti immigrant sentiment enough or reform refugee policy.  So the Government is spending a fortune on rounding up people and imprisoning them. 

Meanwhile  apparently 32 billion pounds worth of soft fruit was ploughed up last year in the UK  because there were not enough people to pick the food.   People are going hungry in the UK because of the cost of living and draconian benefit system, people are going hungry in some parts of the world, often a result of climate change that Western countries have mostly caused, and food is ploughed up because we, who sent Europeans packing because they are "taking our jobs"  have no one to pick it. The Government has belated recruited a few thousand people from Nepal to fill in the gaps, but it is not enough, but if that Nepalese had entered the UK asking for refuge, he (and the policy here seems to be sexist) could have been sent to Rwanda.  The world is quite mad, it always has been, but it is getting worse by the minute.   It is very hard to hack it in such a world, but we older folk who are still standing are the lucky ones, so we have to work to try and make a better world, hand in hand, with those suffering these inequities.   We pray, we sign petitions, we try and rouse spirits,  and change hearts and minds - meanwhile the climate emergency rattles on untended.  More praying,  despite not really believing,  just praying things could be better.
