lives. We assist refugees seeking sanctuary from war and persecution to overcome crisis situations, for example, the removal of basic human rights such as refuge, shelter, the right to work or hold a bank account. We provide practical advice and representation to asylum seekers living in accommodation provided by the Mears Group. We provide proactive advice, emergency support and free shelter to those at risk of destitution through Room for Refugees. We support migrants to know their rights, secure paid work and stabilise their lives. We assist established ethnic minority communities to overcome bad housing. We support victims of racist harassment and hate crime, to successfully challenge unfair homelessness decisions. We provide signposting, proactive casework, emergency humanitarian support to assist refugees and asylum seekers to rebuild their lives quickly and stand on their own resources. We offer welfare advice and money skills to refugees and migrants to assist in their resettlement in Scotland. We provide volunteering and training. We lead human rights campaigns and humanitarian appeals. We persistently challenge anti-immigrant and anti-refugee sentiment, and the indefinite detention of innocent families and individuals. In all these areas we use our expertise to effect policy change. We will help in all these ways until we have a society that treats everyone fairly, respects people’s human rights and leaves no one destitute. We depend on the generous support of individuals, housing organisations and others to be able to do this work. We are independent of any political group, religious creed, ideology or economic faction.

This in today’s Telegraph is a clear example of drip fed clickbait designed to demonise refugees and migrants.

Notice the framing.

The story is not that an international airport detains people for over 24 hours without showers.

It is reframed as ‘migrants costing money’.

‘Illegal migrants’ is not a legal term. It is a signal word used to dehumanise.
A shower is framed as an indulgence, not a basic dignity requirement.

State failure is quietly shifted onto people with the least power.

This is how dehumanisation is normalised.
And dehumanisation is always the precursor used to justify further cruelty.

Our Homelessness Team returned to a backlog of 245 housing and homelessness referrals.

Here is one of the referrals we received from Glasgow, a Syrian family faced with a neighbour who threatens his young children with a knife.

Increasingly, depressingly common.
