Asylumseeker

New right-wing policies in Europe have been leaving their mark on the last 20-25 years of Europe. There is a "new racism" phenomenon created by the new right-wing policies that see immigrants as "freeloaders". However, this is not some sort of a racism that advocates apartheid regime, genocide, slavery or white supremacy as we know it. This “new racism” is a racism that is no longer based on biological grounds, but for cultural and economic reasons. Today, it is seen that those who can no longer openly defend biological racism are the champions of culturalist discrimination and marginalization. The people who are exposed to this type of discrimination and marginalization are generally those of immigrant origin, minority ethnic groups, people of different faiths, women and homosexuals who are not given equal opportunities in society. This “new form of racism” demonizes immigrants and refugees in order to preserve economic prosperity and national identity, and makes t

Aspen Card: What is in the oven? Join me if you like critical thinking and deeper analysis. I will walk you through the layers of the Aspen Card Crisis, most importantly the layers of our “authoritarian state pie”, that the media has failed to explore despite the fact that I have repeatedly exerted and risked myself talking to journalists.  The Guardian wanted to contact me. I accepted. The Independent also wanted to reach out. I also answered the phone when one of the most prominent journalists phoned me. She said she was looking for someone who had not received an Aspen Card yet. Not necessarily very important. But this reveals that important newspapers couldn’t manage to shake their tabloidism off. As far as I am aware, all the media coverage has fallen thousands of miles short of the seriousness of the topic. The Aspen Card crisis is not limited to asylum seekers. This will be my entire point throughout this piece. Apparently, journalists are after some third page news such as “asy

I have made this hoping that it may help with seeing the difference between a refugee and an asylum-seeker. Asylum seekers can only become refugees after their asylum claims are accepted by the Home Office.

FAQ 1: Where are yous originally from? ANSWER: From World. My family is descendants of Earthians. We have the same passports as those of birds, fish, algae, trees, mountains, wind, sea, clouds, rain. Our passports never expire. Our mother tongue is "love" with a mild terrestrial accent. FAQ 2: Will you be returning to your country if the regime changes? ANSWER: No. Would anyone return to a place where they faced the biggest persecutions? We live in a world where most people wouldn't even visit their parents again if they had been subject to domestic abuse. In our case, we fell victims to state terror of our own country of birth. No return... Not even for a visit. FAQ 3: Did you arrive in the UK by boat? ANSWER: I don't see how it is relevant. It might be a boat, jet, yacht, unicorn, teleportation, Tardis... Relevant authorities have the right information they need. Don't worry, please. FAQ 4: How do you manage to make the ends meet with just £5.66? ANSWER: Bec

Aspen Card Errors Impoverished UK asylumseekers Asylum seekers in the UK use a prepaid card called ASPEN CARD to withdraw their £39 subsistence payments. In May 2020, authorities decided to change all Aspen Cards causing countless errors affecting thousands of asylum seekers. Most asylum seekers have faced hunger including myself and my family. I have made this short film to give viewers a chance to look through an asylum seeker's point of view.
