    A question I've asked repeatedly, but to which there has never been a decent answer. Why did no-one in the EU anticipate, plan and prepare for the large-scale arrival of refugees in 2015-16? Could someone do a study on this?

    Exactly correct. So why doesn’t the compact offered by propose a binding system of burden and responsibility sharing for ? Why settle for pontification and a promise only of endless meetings? Tragic lost opportunity for leadership to reinvigorate .

    Those shouting about a “refugee emergency” in Europe or America should visit African communities giving refuge to millions with small resources. Energies would be better spent helping people address problems here while sharing some of the refugee burden born by poor countries.

    ‘It has yet to fully sink in that what was wrong for the generation is wrong for all immigrants, & when we argue for a more humane & less for immigrants we do so not just for the sake of foreigners. We do it for ourselves.’

    “Nothing about us without us”: ‘s calls for a participatory, bottom-up, approach to refugee policy.

    "By introducing me by my legal status, they had stripped me of my agency, further entrenching the narrative of dependent, passive refugees."

    This makes me cry every time I see it. Here’s to people smugglers like Nicholas Winston

    Every time someone RTs this I feel obliged to tweet it on.With thanks to the amazing Nicholas Winton without whom I would not exist, because he rescued my father. Who said if you want to save a drowning man make sure you are at the river bank. May their memories be for a blessing

    Right now. In Britain.

    Parents are routinely separated from their children through immigration detention in the UK. The Home Office doesn’t release stats about the numbers of parents detained. BID’s Separated Families project provides legal advice to about 170 parents per year on how to get released.

    "The people of Europe, as well as those fleeing war & persecution, deserve better than the shameful status quo. With courageous leadership, it is possible to put in place an asylum system that is fair, efficient & compassionate." -
