@drsarahcroke You mean the processing of the refugees is privatised and immense public funds are being funnelled into it? It's costly to the public purse to have them arrive everywhere on small boats. But then investors can make a 💰💰💰profit from incarcerating them and then deporting them?🙄

Well done to the lawyers. It's a terrible illegal scheme that should never have been considered. Tory government has no idea what causes the people trafficking and dangerous channel crossings.
Hint: making it difficult is what causes the people trafficking racket.

We need to END the use of #plastic.
That means ending artificial fibres for clothing and shoes.
It means ending the use of plastic wrap on food.
It means stopping the practice of "recycling" which is worse than useless. ♻ makes people think they're OK.

A reminder that there are millions of people in the UK who work hard and pay tax, day in, day out, whose modest wages are losing value every day. And then there's a bunch of twats in govt who squandered £bns of public money in contracts for their mates, who mess up on every task.
