These findings show that Scotland is becoming more polarised on the question of immigration.

This report also highlights that those who had less social contact with migrants were far more likely to hold negative views of them.

Although of course only part of a wider picture, the research show the benefits to society if migrants and born and bred Brits had more social contact with one another.

The unknown breeds fear, which is remedied by education, not using migration as an electoral football to win votes and playing politics with people’s lives.

Migrant Voice, in partnership with Islington Refugee & Migrant Forum, is holding a discussion - Responding to Hate, on 1 October, 12–4pm be talking about the rise in hate crime, far-right activity and increasingly hostile rhetoric towards migrants and refugees, and what migrant and refufugee groups and individuals are seeing in their communities.

It is a scary time for those who are marginalised and we’d like to hear how this is affecting the people you support, whether you’ve noticed any changes, what you think needs to be done, and how we can work together on practical responses. The session will be informal and discussion-based, with lunch provided.

We stand with showracismtheredcard.

sunderlandcitycouncil’s decision to end anti-racism teaching in schools is a travesty.

To dismiss it as “politically charged” implies that racism is something to be defended, and dismissive of the very real racist attacks by far right thugs in recent weeks and months.

At the Trades Union Congress (TUC) conference yesterday Nazek Ramadan spoke about the emboldenment of the far right and migrants’ experiences of hostility and its impact on them, while representing Migrant Voice.

Nazek called on the conference to continue supporting migrants, to challenge mis-information, to call on politicians to stop scapegoating migrants to distract from the real issues affecting people’s lives.

For years we have been campaigning about the extortionate, and escalating, costs of visa fees.

This is yet another example of how the Home Office sees migrants as a magic money tree, and how we effectively face double taxation for the government to make a profit off.

Home Office charges £1,709 for naturalisation applications it estimates cost £324 to process - three times the next highest fee in the G7Think tank calls f

Migrant Voice stands with the RNLI This weekend, RNLI volunteers did what they have always done. They went out and brought frightened people safely to shore. We want to say plainly what we feel, gratitude, respect, and solidarity with every RNLI crew member who launches a boat with no interest in anyone's paperwork, only in whether they are safe. These are people who give their time, unpaid, to pull strangers from the water…They do not ask who someone is or where they are from before they help. That is exactly as it should be.
