The Truth, Not Myth

Eighty years after ‘never again’, Britain faces a moral crossroads on asylum – will we fail again? We stand at a crossroads of conscience, where the ghosts of our past whisper urgent lessons we ignore at our peril. The foundations of our asylum laws were laid in the bitter soil of regret, watered by tears we should have shed eighty years ago but never did. When Jewish families begged for sanctuary from the horrors of Nazism , our doors stayed shut. Ships were turned away. Visas were denied .

For many, it is an emotional day. Families gather to honour those they have lost. Entire communities come together in solemn gratitude for the lives given in service.

Then came the accusations. The scorn. The conspiracies. A day set aside for remembrance became just another opportunity for grie...
