Impossible not to draw comparisons between a billionaire tourist ship on a risky journey to visit a wreck & desperate, homeless refugees on a hugely risky journey for a chance at a safe life -

Both lost at sea, with vastly different resources committed to their location & rescue

Farrukh We live in dystopia.

“I’m not afraid: I’m starving.”

The quote that tells you everything about the migrants hoping to cross to Europe. Absolutely everything. #r4today

This sums up the failed European approach that has got us here, so once more:

The reason to come is poverty, wars, climate destruction, persecution & lack of opportunity in countries of origin.

We take global inequality for granted, accept it as natural. Migration is natural.

Does seem like this isn’t IN the festival grounds actually -

I can’t describe how proud I am to be here at the launch of the brilliant Kimberly McIntosh’s first book!!

#BlackGirlNoMagic is a huge achievement: funny, sweet, & one of the most important contributions to the conversation on race in the UK today!

Gotta get back to my regular sleep schedule. I need to be up by 6:30 every morning.

Leon Crosby Glastonbury Festival You’re right to be fair. Maybe not Glastonbury Festival ‘s fault… but ideally they’d make a statement that the festival is a safe space for all migrants 🙏

This article is an unbelievably difficult read. I urge you to read it.
The loss of last week’s Mediterranean disaster impacts families around the world. Families that those on the boat risked everything to support.

We can’t keep dividing the world into the safe & the desperate.

The Titanic sub billionaire rescue mission is entering final hours of hope to find survivors.

Meanwhile in Italy & Greece, search & rescue to save people at sea is criminalised.
Pia Klemp is among those facing jail for rescuing migrants #r4today #FreePia morningstaronline.co.uk/node/71822

Zoe Gardner LBC Stop giving migrants a reason to come

A perfect answer on the need for safe routes Yanis Varoufakis

Europe colonised the world, now we have an aging population lacking workers & we are building fences against those coming to us from the places we colonised. Something amiss in both logic & morality of that #r4today

The sheer number of people likely drowned in last week's Mediterranean shipwreck is hard to fathom. Our story on who they were and why they boarded the boat that day.
By the time they understood the danger, it was too late to turn around. washingtonpost.com/world/2023/06/…

The story of about 35 men, women & children dead at sea because of European policies & failure to act on rescue has not broken through the news agenda.
These deaths have become something we are desensitised to.
And we are desensitised to the politicians’ lies that cause them, too

Kinda is being nice

A “sense of adventure” or “thirst for exploration” is something that can play out really quite differently in the media.

Depending on if you’re a destitute migrant, or a billionaire. 🤷‍♀️

I cannot continue to hear the rubbish “wage-price spiral” it’s quite obvious we are in a profits-price spiral.
Super market bosses and the richest people in the country are getting wealthier while ordinary people getting poorer: It is not our wages that are the problem. #r4today

#BLM James Meadway The Greek state has also prosecuted humanitarian actors for assisting migrants. It’s not (yet) an EU-wide position. #FreeHumanitarians

Who cares about Elton? I’m just sorry not to be at Glasto to be able to cheer for the real star act of the weekend - the extraordinarily beautiful Minnie Rahman
Just look at her thriving at Leftfield chairing her panel on the future of the NHS 😍😍😍

I wish the ps5 came in black. The white is fine, I just don’t really like how it looks.

A spineless PM when democracy is degraded by corruption is more than just a personal character flaw. Sunak sells himself on competence, but all I see is him hiding his inadequacies behind refugees, like a schoolyard bully, while he’s incapable to fix our actual problems. #r4today
