Shabana Mahmood's proposal to stop being told to "go back home" is to send people "home". Her proposal to stop black and brown people from feeling like they don't belong, is to bake in to the immigration system that they will never belong.

Big news from the UK Supreme Court.
The judgement also says that the current system teaches “pupils to accept a set of beliefs without critical analysis amounts to evangelism, proselytising, and indoctrination.”
