sign up to our newsletter Dear supporters, Just like clockwork, the Government is back with another migration Bill- the Border Security, Asylum, and Immigration Bill.

The good character requirement has been updated on 10th February 2025 to block some refugees from naturalising as British citizens if their entry to the UK was criminalised, i.e. they did not arrive with the required immigration documentation, such as a visa or electronic travel authorisation (ETA).

“On 10 August 2024, we took part in the Edinburgh 7 Summit Challenge event, where we spent a whole day climbing the 7 hills of Edinburgh, and raised £1465 for the Migrants’ Rights Network. It was a fabulous day, and we met some lovely people. As we both love to walk long distances, and catch

At first, we were not going to speak on this issue because we didn’t want to wade into a conversation that was clearly being whipped up by the far-right and opportunistic commentators for political gain.

Today on 15th December 2024, the Government has announced “crackdowns” on those without permission to work while gleefully congratulating itself for ramping up cruel detentions and deportations. The timing of this announcement which criminalises migrants is particularly tragic and pertinent following the murder of people seeking asylum in Dunkirk overnight.
