We hope you are aware of the Government's intention to make claiming asylum in the UK almost impossible, to detain them on arrival, and the threat to deport unsuccessful applicants (including children) to Rwanda or other third countries. Even the Home Office thinks the legislation may be illegal under international law. At Preston City of Sanctuary we think the proposals are both cruel and illegal, as well as being unworkable. We agree with Gary Lineker that the language used by the government to stoke up hatred against vulnerable people who are fleeing war, famine and persecution in their home countries is dangerous and alarming.
There are many online petitions circulating asking the government to think again. The point of this one is to build a community of solidarity locally in Preston and the surrounding area. If you agree with us and Gary please add your name to our campaign by 31st March.
We intend to present our petition to our two local Councils and local MPs, to the local media to ask them to support our campaign and then to the Home Secretary.
