How UK's Immigration Is used by Billionaires as a Distraction

from Decolonial Dispatch

Who decides who belongs in Britain? Who pays the price when a government turns hostile toward the people keeping the country running? With Labour proposing to extend migrant settlement routes from 10 years to over 20, families across the UK face a system designed to keep them in permanent precarity. The Windrush scandal, the visa bans on Sudan and Afghanistan, the broken promises to care workers and NHS staff, these are not separate stories. We speak to Nick Beales, the Head of Campaigning from Refugee and Migrant Justice, to understand how the hostile environment was built, why Labour is amplifying it, and what it means for all of us.Contribute to and/or Explore our Encyclopedia: www.decolonialcentre.org/encyclopediaFollow us for more storiesInstagram: @thedecolonialcentreTwitter/X: @decolonialcntrWebsite: www.decolonialcentre.org Hosted on Acast.
