HOPE not hate
Radio 43 | Episode 35 | Intelligence Report | Who? Where? And WTF?! Election Spesh.
The who, where and wtf?! of all the far-right candidates running in the upcoming local elections. Essential listening for all those who want to oppose fascists from establishing local power in their constituency.
The team also turn to the brutal and callous Rwanda proposal for offshoring asylum processing (and subsequently successful claimants) entirely from the UK and to Rwanda.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, has said the process is "opposite the nature of God". According to a 2020 Human Rights Watch report, detainees in Rwanda suffer from arbitrary detention, ill-treatment, and torture in official and unofficial facilities.
LGBT asylum seekers fleeing persecution to UK shores, will face deportation to a country with a poor record on homophobia, even within the Rwandan state itself.
This is another episode where all of our efforts to contain the far right, are made a mockery of by a mainstream party that appears to be prepared to adopt the same cruelty we normally associate with the fringe.
This cannot stand, and we cannot let it.
