Calls coming from fearful asylum seekers, following Home Office's Rwanda operation plans. As a refugee myself, & with families/friends trapped in z system, realisation of being unable to help torments me.
At the same time, I'm inspired by the many people resisting this cruelty.

Do you see the overtime work they do to clean up genocidal crimes? A massacre of the starving becomes a 'die in chaos' mystery.
Only Palestinians are prone to these spontaneous mass deaths 'in chaos' with no named perpetrator or context.
Beyond complicity.

This is the best, clearest article on the history of irregular migrant crossings between France and the UK explaining how we got here and why it isn't working.

Of course it's by Lucy Mayblin for openDemocracy opendemocracy.net/en/beyond-traf…

This is a fantastic PhD opportunity. Also fully funded. Please share far and wide.

After horror piled on horror our SI of Language and Intercultural Communication is here. All papers are free & open access including those we have now published posthumously by colleagues in Gaza

The sadness on receipt is overwhelming but we commit to honouring this work 1/
