UK Poised to Limit Asylum, Not Its Own Role in Creating Refugees
The FT reveals the UK Home Secretary proposals will limit permanent residence to "those refugees who could prove they had been personally targeted." Meanwhile, the UK’s role in destabilizing regions, from historical interventions to arms sales to nations committing human rights abuses, seldom merits an investigation in Whitehall, much less a policy shift. One might wonder if the 'personal
targeting' clause extends to those fleeing conflicts fueled by British-made weaponry. This isn't about mere policy; it's about shifting blame. The UK profits from global instability through arms exports, then punishes those fleeing the resulting chaos. Funny how the 'threat to national security' always seems to come from those seeking refuge, never from the industries that arm global
conflicts. It appears the cost of war is only ever paid by the displaced.
