I speak up for migrants a lot. You know, because I am one. And because it’s the right thing to do. Every now and then, I get a Faragite telling me if I love migrants so much, I should house a refugee.

I love when they tell me this.

screenshot of a comment I left on one of Clive Lewis’s posts. clacksee_author 22h Thank you for speaking up. By the time I’d been here five years, I’d already spent thousands of pounds on visas. I’d bought my home. I’d been a high-rate taxpayer from the start. I’d already donated thousands of pounds to charity. I’d built my life here. I’ve been a UK citizen since 2018. But I still care about people who came after me. Thank you for caring too. Reply from: george.investing.accountant1 2h @clacksee_author why don’t you house a boaty migrant? Reply from clacksee_author 1s @george.investing.accountant1 Oh, I’m so glad you asked. Thank you so much for reminding me. I’ve also been housing refugees in my home for more than a decade. At various times, I’ve had guests from Cameroon, China, Nigeria, Ukraine, etc. You can sign up to take part too. There are a number of charities who organise hosting arrangements. Check out Positive Action in Housing, Opora, and Refugees At Home. Thanks again for your excellent suggestion! #RoomForRefugees #RefugeesWelcome

One year ago today, a handful of people in London saw an immigration raid happening in their neighbourhood and intervened by blocking the "snatch van" intended to use to spirit away their neighbours. Soon it seemed like everyone in Peckham was out standing with them, surrounding the would-be kidnapperss and their police escort. After a tense stand off, the kidnappers and coppers backed down and were unceremoniously run out of the neighbourhood!
