Suella Braverman is a sick, self-loathing, hateful excuse for a human being. whose words do not represent me or for most of the United Kingdom She is a far right fascist who wants to close the country and scrap the ECHR for us here.
In her speech in Washington yesterday she said that people don’t deserve asylum “simply for being gay, or a woman, and fearful of discrimination.”
She is in my opinion an incompetent dangerous rabid racist who represents only a small minority of right-wing bigots. What she said was utterly disgusting in its calculated cruelty. She is making a case deliberately designed to appeal to homophobic, racist arseholes simply to advance her own career. Shameless and barbaric.
Her latest ill-thought out and extreme right-wing idea is to persuade world leaders to rip up the 70-year-old U.N. Refugee Convention and to rewrite ' it to ensure refugee rules are fit for the ‘modern age’. What this is really about of course is the fury of right-wing Tory MPs at the UNHCR, the UN’s refugee agency, after it ruled that the UK government’s plan to send those who come into the UK illegally to Rwanda or a third country was “incompatible with the letter and spirit” of the convention.
Refugees Not Criminals
If the Tory Party can’t get its way, then the self-proclaimed party of law and order wants to do away with treaties and conventions designed to protect human rights, reducing Britain’s standing in the world just so that it can please its reactionary and right-wing base.
The Refugee Convention is the cornerstone of international refugee protection and remains a life-saving instrument that ensures millions of people fleeing conflict and persecution each year can access safety and protection across borders.
The UN Refugee Convention was agreed in the wake of World War 2 and the Holocaust to guarantee refugee rights. It’s protected people for seven decades. But now Suella Braverman thinks it’s “not fit for purpose” because it’s at odds with the government’s cruel policies.
This is just another example of this government's dangerous rhetoric. Scapegoating and fearmongering does huge damage to people and our society They at the end of the day want to overturn recognised principles of human decency that we should all be proud of.. But together, we can stand firm in our belief in compassion, and never let powerful forces pedal hate/ We must reject the Home Secretary's dangerous and divisive rhetoric Threats to tear up international laws designed to protect people fleeing persecution, incl LGBTQ+ people and women fearing for their lives, undermine our human rights and values we hold dear. must not go unchallenged.
As the Refugee Council’s Enver Solomon put it: “After the horror of the Second World War, the international community chose to stand up for those principles which are just as important today as they have ever been. Abandoning them is not an option.
The UN has responded to Braverman's rivers of blood speech by basically calling her a fascist and saying that the UK's asylum problem is due to her own incompetence and refusal to deal with it. And if multiculturalism has failed how the hell did Braverman get to be be bloody Home Secretary..
if a white Home Secretary said what she had said he/she would have to (quite rightly) resign in disgrace, it was dangerous and toxic and inflammatory.There's no doubt about it, Braverman is unfit for office!We need to focus on creating a functioning UK asylum system that tackles the backlog her policies have created,and to be able to meet the UK's limited refugee responsibilities and .need to keep calling out Suella Braverman's dangerous racist, homophobic lies and nonsense
