We agree. But the searing experiences of last summer, when hate-filled mobs tried to burn down hotels hosting asylum seekers, make it clear that the path to fairness is not to be found in those pitting local communities against refugees seeking safety from persecution and war.”\n\nIt goes on to say: “Now is not the time to play into the hands of those seeking to build them-and-us division between local communities and refugees. It is the time to move away from the hostile politics, racist rhetoric and demonising language of the past and unite our communities for a different way forward.”\n\nThe letter also responds to the Summit’s focus on targeting smuggling gangs. It states: “Rather than the border security summit’s focus on expensive new ways to disrupt people smugglers, often making the journey more dangerous for refugees, the government should be looking at safe routes for refugees to get here without risking their lives.”", "image": { "$type": "blob", "ref": { "$link": "bafkreiesytrearzhqsdwuixr64lnidpkqtdr7p27jva4oh7pc6vtmvfbrq" }, "mimeType": "image/jpeg", "size": 434199 }, "aspectRatio": { "width": 748, "height": 515 } } ] }, "langs": [ "en" ], "reply": { "root": { "cid": "bafyreigtncbhkwofbtib7cpm7elejykf5oluhpdfwgatr6565bhgnerl5u", "uri": "at://did:plc:qougpda3f2sgfyco7qllxoeu/app.bsky.feed.post/3lofy5tnwok24" }, "parent": { "cid": "bafyreihtluycanqz6pywgom7vlgl2k3i5xuu53btimqw4e65qjv5ropozq", "uri": "at://did:plc:xshda7cyzualk5brfienlo3c/app.bsky.feed.post/3looi5u7r6s2x" } }, "facets": [ { "index": { "byteEnd": 150, "byteStart": 107 }, "features": [ { "uri": "https://togetherwithrefugees.org.uk/press-release-border-security-summit/", "$type": "app.bsky.richtext.facet#link" } ] } ], "createdAt": "2025-05-08T18:21:10.409Z" } }
