I would like to thank all of you for showing compassion and Solidarity during these very tough times we are all facing in a way or another.

Isolation, not being able to travel or see your loved ones, living in fear and not working… I am not talking about CORONA pandemic, rather, I am talking about a huge section under NRPF who live all year round like if it was all the time Corona because they are undocumented immigrants.

There are 2 million people in the UK who have no access to any of the welfare safety net measures that the government has extended for Covid-19.. Many fear hostile environment repercussions of asking for medical or welfare assistance.

This is a public health scandal at a time of pandemic.

‼️‼️ Help us by writing to the politicians ‼️‼️

– Remove NRPF
– Halt the hostile environment policies

Excellently put by Amanda. I don’t know or care where people came from but I do know that if we leave anyone to starve, our veneer of civilisation is indeed thin. I think we will get through the current crisis by ensuring no one is neglected and left behind and holding out open hands to all who need help.

Thank you Delwar and GA for this and thank you with all my heart Lynda and your co volunteers.

Recently much of my memorable good service with laughter has been from the foreign workforce.

This shocking revelation brought home that those suffering this frightening situation are likely to be our fun waiters & unseen staff at favourite cafés & restaurants;
our most willing shop assistants who make our day;
our extra fast car valets who take the mickey out of the amount of junk in our car;
our reliable cab drivers who also CARRY our heavy suitcase.
They have been the indispensable cogs running our lives for decades whether we know or not or even wonder if they are legally settled.
When hit by extraordinary disaster meaning starvation, with no means of earning money, food and a roof over their head, l don’t give a flying duck if they are ‘legal’ and neither should any other being calling themselves human.

Enormous admiration for Lynda ? who l wish receives official recognition for her personal risk ? rather than being driven from her HQ. Disgraceful.

l have lived abroad without family,
experienced robbery, the insecurity of losimg all of my ID, the panic of noone to help, but starvation is way beyond ANYTHING most of us have experienced.

(Well reported Delwar/GA)

“Though apprehensive and anxious about further attempts by the Home Office and the police to disrupt what they are doing, Lynda and her volunteers’ priority is to feed people in need, rather than judging their legal status.”

Police raids a food bank that is feeding starving people? That is just plain evil, even for the UK.

This story needs to be picked up by a newspaper. Hostile environment indeed.
