Sunak:Paloma Faith’s NSFW response as Ben & Jerry’s freeze him

Ben & Jerry’s responded on Twitter to Rishi Sunak’s ‘stop the boats’ immigration policy and pop star Paolma Faith condensed their argument into one NSFW word.

It comes as Unicef has said it’s “deeply concerned” about the UK’s Illegal Migration Bill, which Rishi Sunak says will “support” the new measures announced today.

“This Bill puts children’s right to safety and protection under threat by denying children who arrive through irregular routes, such as on a boat across the English Channel, from making an asylum claim, and with that the chance to rebuild their lives with stability and certainty here in the UK,” said Jon Sparkes, Chief Executive of the UK Committee for Unicef.

“The Bill has been published without an accompanying assessment of its impact on children, leaving many critical questions unanswered.”

This is their ice cold thread is a must read.

The UK Government are trying to rip up the human rights of some of the most vulnerable people in society.

So, here’s a little thread of some of the things they don’t want you to be reminded of right now:

People are risking their lives crossing the channel to seek asylum because they have no other choice.

The Government have made it almost impossible for anyone seeking safety to reach the UK via any safe method of travel, forcing people into taking irregular routes.

When the Government talk of safe routes, remember: The resettlement scheme for Syrians – CLOSED. The scheme which allowed lone refugee children to reunite with family in the UK – CLOSED. Refugee Visa – DOESN’T EXIST.

When the Government holds up the Afghan Citizen Resettlement Scheme, remember that just 22 Afghans have been brought to the UK under pathway 2 of their flagship scheme. And, under pathway 3 of this scheme… ZERO PEOPLE.

The Government are choosing to scapegoat refugees and migrants despite knowing the harmful consequences.

But it doesn't have to be this way.

We CAN create a system which reflects that as caring people, we want to welcome and support people who need our help.

Rather than letting the danger and despair continue, we can create routes of safety and of hope.
