“The one thing government could do to stop deaths is give people an alternative way to get across the channel. We’d then know who they are, could give them paperwork and put them into an orderly asylum system,” Zoe Gardner tells Matt Frei #c4news channel4.com/news/rwanda-sc…

The immoral Rwanda Bill does not reflect the British values and kindness that I know and love.

Let's not forget that when we dehumanise others, we chip away at our own humanity too.

We must treat everyone with decency, as I made clear in this video👇🏾

Look who owns Airbus.
Are the governments of Spain, France and Germany going to want to be involved in human trafficking?

'Watching five people die isn't a deterrent, and yet Rishi Sunak arranging a flight to Rwanda is a deterrent?'
'It's nonsense, Shelagh.'

Asylum specialist Louise Calvey tells Shelagh Fogarty the Rwanda Bill is 'funding increased risk, which is why we're seeing more fatalities'.

Lord Meow of Fuzzy Mittens AirTanker Phil Zoe Gardner Freedom from Torture🧡 Dear @airtanker,
As a company that most of us have never heard of you run the risk of becoming (in)famous.

I just emailed AirTanker to tell them to stand on the right side of history and refuse to forcibly fly refugees to Rwanda on behalf of the UK government.

We need to act NOW. Will you join me?

It’s also a kick in the teeth for all those renters who were promised s21 reform (no fault evictions) only to be told the courts aren’t ready!

These horrendous deaths will keep happening. Sending people to Rwanda is no solution, it's desperate now that we change our approach.

As long as we refuse to give people safe alternative ways to travel to countries of safety, we will always be waiting for the next tragedy.

Following the passing of the “Safety of Rwanda” Act by the UK, UN leaders have sounded the alarm on the harmful impact it will have on global responsibility sharing, human rights and refugee protection.

Absolutely horrific policy by the UK government.
Honestly shameful to be treating those fleeing violence, persecution & war this way.

Absolutely desperate interview with Michael Tomlinson refusing to answer questions on whether victims of torture & survivors of slavery & trafficking can be sent to Rwanda.

The answer, in both cases, is yes.

Yes to Afghans. Yes to children. Yes to refugees of all kinds #r4today

This is the nonsense “make refugees disappear this way”
VS “make refugees disappear that way”

Promises that have brought us to the stupid, deadly, chaotic mess we’re in.

People move, we always have and - no matter the colour of politicians’ lies - we always will. Deal with it.

I was recently on TRASHFUTURE PODCAST talking about our investigation into the health & care visa, & why I think this is a crisis of equal magnitude to Windrush or Post Office/Horizon.

Thanks again to Riley November & H.K for having me on & being great hosts.

'I'm liable to be shipped away to a country I hadn't heard of until this year.'

'People want to go to a place they can belong - I speak English, I thought the UK was a safe haven.'

Brilliant speaker.

Zoe Gardner Exactly that! See the story of an Afghan interpreter supported by the The Sulha Alliance CIO whose siblings arrived by boat: independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…
