Very much not on here atm but: contrary to what Boris Johnson implies here, seeking asylum is not a crime. It is a right. The current government (and, sadly, its predecessors of both hues) want to muddy, obscure & degrade that right. We must not accede to it.

"Those in the west who insist we cannot take in “the world’s misery” must, at the very least, acknowledge how much of that misery we are responsible for. This is not a question of guilt, but responsibility." 5 years old; sadly still relevant. bit.ly/2PGh0eO
