Let’s talk about some of the costs of borders and the hostile environment. Not the physical, moral, psychological etc costs – those are uncountable. This is about the millions of pounds that the Home Office pays every month to tech companies and arms dealers [a (long) thread] 1/?
These are the share prices for BAE Systems, Raytheon, Leonardo and Lockheed Martin from 7 October 2023 to 7 October 2024
I won't share it here, but the Home Office has just put out a press release bragging about...arresting 6 workers during a pre-dawn raid at a care home
Yep, you read that right - a pre-dawn raid targeting workers at a residential care home
Even the Home Office's recent review showed that the Hostile Environment is racist, and serves only to stoke division in our communities
Yet the Home Office doesn't seem to have got the message - we don't want your racist Hostile Environment
Check out JCWI's explainer of the Hostile Environment, and all the ways you can be part of the resistance jcwi.org.uk/the-hostile-envi…
The Home Office has just published, among other documents, a review of its Right to Rent policy
A short🧵on its unsurprising finding: making landlords check people's immigration status stokes racism
The report is available online here gov.uk/government/publicatio…
And if you want something a bit more positive, JCWI's toolkit of joyful and collaborative ways to resist the hostile environment is here jcwi.org.uk/Handlers/Downloa…
Lol Borderpol literally organises conferences where arms manufacturers can lobby politicians for harder borders and sell them hardware and software to further militarise their borders???

It’s horrendous to speak about this but I feel that I have no choice. The NHS is crumbling in front of us and it’s dangerous. I can’t bear the thought of this happening to anyone else.
While Tory ministers rearrange the deckchairs...
JCWI's legal team supports ppl affected by the racist hostile environment + cruel anti-refugee laws to fight for justice
Tmrw we walk 13 miles to raise some £££ - anything you can spare is so appreciated!!
