Barge fears

Bibby Stockholm Barge

Evangelical refugee campaigner Krish Kandiah has spoken out about the placing of asylum seekers on the Bibby Stockholm barge in Dorset.

He tweeted: ‘Imagine you’re forced to flee your home because of war or famine, and the only safe person you know is a relative in the UK. There’s currently no way for you to apply to come here. If you make your way to your family you are called an illegal migrant and will be put on a barge that looks like a prison.’

In a further tweet he said: ‘The hostile environment strategy is not working. Let’s try safe routes and fast and fair asylum assessments.’
