I love the “rightly or wrongly” here when it is in fact ‘wrongly, obviously wrongly, literally no normal person has ever thought this’
"There can be no meaningful strengthening of workers' rights without migrant workers' rights."

Emiliano MellinoJust days after we published our investigation into the threats directed at City of Sanctuary, a government survey of 3000 charities finds that a significant number face threats, misinformation, vandalism or reduced support. Those most likely to be targeted are in the human rights & equality space.
Activists say Northern Ireland’s police service is failing to tackle paramilitary violence, even though the PSNI admitted loyalist mobs were involved in coordinating racist pogroms.
PSNI slammed for paramilitary policing cutbacksIs the Northern Irish police failing to tackle paramilitary violence against the backdrop of ongoing racist pogroms involving loyalist mobs?www.thecanary.co
Absolute horror. Solidarity to everyone working in the migrant justice sector.
Emiliano MellinoWe had an in-depth look at the misinformation targeting City of Sanctuary last summer. How it spread from the mainstream to the online far right, and how the charity was inundated with horrific threats. This is part of a worrying and growing trend. www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2026...
So glad you can investigate this, so sad to hear about it. How can we put a buffer around charities so they don’t have their time wasted and staff threatened?

How migrant charity City of Sanctuary was targeted by the far rightCity of Sanctuary promotes compassion for asylum seekers and refugees. It has met a torrent of rightwing hate and misinformationwww.thebureauinvestigates.com
Click bait racist bullshit from the Times/Chris Philp. 12 Cameroonians did not sponsor 15 dependants each. 12 new work visas were issued to Cameroonians. 180 visas were issued to dependants of the (many thousands of) Cameroonians *already here*. Etc. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...
Migrant care workers bring dozens of family members despite curbsTwelve workers from Cameroon sponsored 180 dependants to join them in the year to March, as the new rules do not apply to those who were already in the UKwww.thetimes.com
Last summer we experienced a sustained and terrifying misinformation campaign. @tbij.bsky.social has just laid bare the ecosystem which generated, amplified and profited from it. www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2026...

Really disturbing story. Feel desperately bad for all the charity workers and schools who were targeted.

hi hello modern slavery expert here 👋👋 requiring asylum and refugee seekers to pay back support is precisely how traffickers keep victims in debt bondage. this exposes people to even greater re-trafficking risks. is the uk government trying to stop trafficking or learn from criminals?
The UK's Overseas Business Risk Guidance for Israel has been updated and now states "we strongly advise against conducting any economic or financial activities in illegal Israeli settlements" instead of previous language of "not encourage or support" www.gov.uk/government/p...

In August 2024 I researched the term's origin and discussed it in this appearance on BBC Radio 5 live The use of the term has shifted from Covid, when it was used by people opposing restrictions, to wider state-backed conspiracies against white people and/or the "right wing"
The phrase "two-tier" policing first entered Britain's political mainstream in August 2024, when people supporting the Southport rioters were complaining of their treatment But it is not a mainstream term - it originated with far right and conspiracist groups trying to push their own narratives
