The reporting on Charlie Kirkβs killer in the UK & US highlights again how fundamentally ill equipped mainstream media is to report on political violence in the digital age.
They do not know anything about online far right meme culture & itβs starting to do real harm. #r4today

The truth about asylum hotels
People in asylum hotels do not live in five-star luxury. Conditions are very basic. Most people share cramped rooms with complete strangers. They have no cooking or laundry facilities and no choice about when or what they eat.
The truth about asylum hotels
People seeking asylum are not allowed to work and earn their own money. If housed in a hotel, you receive just Β£9.95 per week. This isnβt enough to cover public transport for vital appointments and buy basic essentials, like warm clothes
The truth about asylum hotels
The previous UK government paused decision-making on asylum claims, which has caused a huge backlog. Instead of contributing to local communities, people are stuck in hotels waiting months, sometimes years, to hear if they will get refugee protection.
The truth about asylum hotels
The UK government pays private companies huge profits to house people seeking asylum in unsuitable hotel accommodation. Instead, they could invest that money in local communities and provide social housing for everyone who needs it.
Some politicians are using lies about asylum hotels to stir up fear and division in our communities.
The truth is, we all deserve to be safe and to feel like we belong.

Home Office set to halve time asylum seekers spend in hotels
The time given to people granted asylum to move from hotels to their own accommodation will be cut from 56 to 28 days.
Extending the "move on period" came at the end of lengthy campaigning, and reams of evidence showing how 28 days led to homelessness, and more pressure on local authorities.
This is a counterproductive, retrograde, move by Labour designed to chase Reform. Despicable!
