"We will shift heaven and earth to help people to get out of Afghanistan. We will do everything we can"
Boris Johnson, 2021.
------------------------------------
"All 6 men who drowned in the Channel were Afghan. Afghans are running from Afghanistan because of the Taliban
They are on small boats because the U.K. government won’t open safe & legal routes for Afghans like they have for Ukrainians.
Don’t even know what to say anymore"
Peymana Assad, 2023.
"We need to continue to speak up and stand up for our values of respect, compassion and dignity for all humans."
"Let’s not stay silent in the face of hate."
Peymana Assad.
"All I know is this: in the end good will triumph over evil.
History has shown us this. As long as there are good people willing to fight for it.
We must resist."
PeymanaAssad
Every day since the return of the Taliban in 2021, there have been at least 2,000 Afghan refugees waiting in Calais, France to cross the English Channel to the U.K.
Many of them qualify for the U.K. government's ARAP Afghan relocation scheme.
Some of them are holding U.K. Home Office letters of acceptance to the scheme in their hands.
None of them have a safe legal route to cross the channel.

Yeah, people do that; see Pia Klemp
She's facing a week of jail per human life she's saved
@sabik @natureworks @ProjectFearlessness My heart cannot take this in, this farce of a face shining welcome, but made impossible by surreptitious thwarting.
Makes me want to say a lot of bad words.
@ProjectFearlessness @sabik @natureworks I have found that I have more characters on different apps as opposed to my browser version . . . Tusky for example. Maybe for you too?
Then you could 'bad words' to your heart's content!
