>Far-right anger over asylum hotels is destroying the very idea of refuge – and that’s probably the goal
>The court ruling on the Bell hotel does not just legitimise anti-immigrant sentiment; it also risks erasing a whole category of people
Scaremongering over theoretical genocide and victim blaming, truly another Gruridna masterclass


>More than this, the ruling has solidified a sense of legitimate, citizen anger against refugees. Since the Southport riots, there has been a familiar ratchet: hard-right provocateurs generate real life protests, often from great distances, because when you’re organising on Telegram anyone can count as a “local resident”.
This is the Rittenhouse line but reheated almost 5 years later
>It’s now impossible to have a debate about immigration without acknowledging this huge wellspring of fury, and it is simply not the done thing to ask whether the rage is justified.
We is the country doing now except having a debtae over the issue?
>If the problem with refugees is that they arrive illegally, would it help to have more legal routes? If the hotels are the issue, could we not work towards dispersal in the first instance, and much faster processing of claims?
"Just give them everything they want but faster, bro"
>Does anyone want to resile from the 1951 UN refugee convention?
Yes! It was made for another world that's long gone
