UPDATE April 28th 2022

Last night the Government’s inhumane Nationality and Borders Bill became an act of law. We are bitterly concerned about this cruel legislation that will undoubtedly cause harm.

We know the British public want an asylum system that is fair, orderly and humane – this is evident from the outpouring of welcome shown to people fleeing Ukraine and Afghanistan. The Government is out of step with the people, and through this harmful Act is demonstrates its prioritisation of control over compassion and competence.

However, the fight is far from over. We won’t give up.

Please read and share our blog to help raise awareness of the extend of the cruelty of this Act.

We know a different future is possible. A future where refugees are protected not punished. 

If passed into law, the UK Nationality and Borders Bill will have a devastating impact on the lives of men, women and children who desperately need protection.

The Bill will discriminate against thousands of refugees, denying them vital help and support. The Government seeks to criminalise people seeking asylum, putting them at risk of imprisonment. The New Plan for Immigration will mean people in need of kindness and compassion, will instead be sent to offshore processing centres at great risk to their wellbeing.

Everybody deserves safety and dignity, especially those fleeing war, torture and persecution. You can help us stand up to the Government and call out these inhumane plans.
