- Reposted by Amal Chatterjee (migrant, grumbler)There is absolutely nothing "fair" about Labour's anti-immigration policies. They will destroy lives, rip families apart and, quite frankly when coupled with Labour's nigh on Trumpian stance on immigration "enforcement ", will lead to mass deportations by the back door www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
- Reposted by Amal Chatterjee (migrant, grumbler)I know the govt is in meltdown again… but meanwhile I wrote about how their immigration policies create a subclass of migrant workers exposed to abuse in an increasingly “Dubai-style” rightless immigration model & I explain what to do about it

- Reposted by Amal Chatterjee (migrant, grumbler)Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government. Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’ I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.

- Reposted by Amal Chatterjee (migrant, grumbler)People who make billions out of billions are invariably horrible, vicious, abusive, nasty, bitter human beings who think very highly of themselves and their needs and their pile of money and absolutely nothing of other human beings. If the Epstein scandal has reminded us of anything it is that.

- Reposted by Amal Chatterjee (migrant, grumbler)According to Btselem, the IDF killed 89 Palestinians in the last six days. Some of them were, according to Israeli military sources, Hamas/Islamic Jihad activists on Israel's hit list (that is, it was retribution rather than specific threat). The vast majority of casualties were civilians.

- He just wants to be PM, he's outsourced policy to the VVD, which has gone from being a deeply unpleasant party that serves business interests to being one that uses far-right policies for the same interests. A man without principles serving harmful sponsors.

One of the best pieces I've read about what university means to people and their communities - and what will happen to a city and people after one closes. The *Labour* government and Jaqui Smith in particular should be ashamed of themselves and shamed into doing something. Deplorable.
