Someone sent me an excerpt from Clarkson’s column in The S*N today in which he took issue with my gender and my ‘left wing hair’. Never more proud. Imagine having Right Wing Hair? He’s paid to write this shit… 😂😂😂

‘It’s right that people are informed of the law in the U.K.’ tweets out in force today. Yep. Totally. So where’s the section on people’s right to live in safety and free from racist violence? How to report acts of hatred? Convenient of you to overlook that bit…

Right wing media going for Right to Remain, ‘revealing an exclusive investigation’ about their toolkit that helps people navigate the asylum system. The toolkits online, promoted & used by everyone around the migration system to plug vital gaps left by collapsed legal reps.

It’s not a secret, it’s a wonderful charity fulfilling their charitable objects. A Google search is a dangerous thing in the hands of these ‘journalists’. Anyway… if you have anything spare drop some coins to the wonderful right to remain here: donate.justgiving.com/charit…

Workers contribute. This is a Refugee Tax. Plain and simple. Making recognised refugees pay for the privilege of being put in barracks to fund private profiteers who benefit from government generosity.

It is only right that we ask for a contribution in return for our generosity.

Charging folk in order to keep lining Serco’s pockets & boost their profit margins - at least they’re not bothering to pretend to be any different to the Tories anymore…

They’ve cancelled family reunion visas, they’ve cut refugee resettlement, built fences, deployed riot police all leading to more refugees being killed. Now water cannons. Obsessed with anti migrant ideology to the point of designing a system to kill. theguardian.com/uk-news/2026…

French police authorised to use water cannon on asylum seekers in £660m deal with UK

Refugee charity says decision to let riot police use water cannon, which are banned in Great Britain, is ‘sickening’

And some are suggesting today that Government need to go further in their anti migrant endeavours. If that’s you… Look around you. See what they’re doing and have a bloody long hard think.

Sorry for not being on here much lately. It’s not that I don’t have anything to say anymore, it’s just all been feeling a bit overwhelmingly grim on here. But I’ve been working hard to campaign & movement build in my day job. And spending time with this one👇😘

The relentless vendetta against people seeking asylum harms all of us. The rabid racists will weaponise anything, attack anyone, for clicks, giggles & to meet their insatiable desire for violence in our communities. See them for what they are.

Remember when people dying migrating to our country was a rarity & appalled us all? Now it’s a byline cheered by ghouls and shrugged off by politicians who hide behind ‘criminal gangs’ & ‘legitimate concerns’. Two people who loved & were loved, and should’ve had safe access.

£16M for two months… Easy to spend other people’s money on your anti migrant follies eh? Imagine how much better every single persons life would be if we spent money on our communities instead of futile & dangerous attempts to deter people with cruelty? theguardian.com/uk-news/2026…

"For years it has been documented, researched and reported on that when Black women and girls go missing, we don’t receive the same media coverage as our white counterparts..." This is not a UK phenomenon; it also applies to the US. Sadly, some lives are valued more than others.

Edna Mmbali Ombakho came to the UK from Kenya to study and reach her goals, only to end up being found dead in a body of water. No wall-to-wall mainstream media coverage. No televised press conference. Just one local news report followed by silence. open.substack.com/pub/meliss…
