University of Cambridge Receives “University of Sanctuary” Accreditation

This week, the charity City of Sanctuary announced recipients of its “Sanctuary Awards programme”, which “recognises and celebrates the organisations and institutions who go above and beyond to foster welcome, understanding and opportunity”. One of these was the University of Cambridge, now an accredited “University of Sanctuary” – something that the institution has been keen to show off on its website.

On the surface, the accreditation makes Cambridge (and any others receiving a “Sanctuary Award”) look kind and compassionate. The university’s webpage about its award has a photograph of a handful of refugees, making the City of Sanctuary programme look as if it helps a manageable number of people, not (in reality) being designed to turn the UK into an open-border state. It also details Cambridge’s “long tradition of providing for refugees and asylum seekers”, as though asylum in 1956 (“When the Soviet Union invaded Hungary”) was the same as today – when the UK receives thousands of fighting-age men from medieval countries, with regular accounts of women and girls being assaulted as a result.

The high number of Lefties who are pushing all of this nonsense, and given that those Lefties have taken control of so many public services, institutions and governments, means that this is not going to stop. I’m not even sure a Reform government could/would change it.

Civil war is coming. If it is coming, it needs to come sooner rather than later, that way we stand a better chance of defeating them.

It will come, and I suspect urban England will come to resemble 1980s Belfast in the next 3-5 years.

I hate having to say it, but I see no hope at all. It has all gone too far.
Thanks for all your great posts on here. I appreciate your love for what used to be our NATION that is now simply a REGION.

I do wonder if civil disobedience from those fed up of the woke nonsense, and fed up of having their way of life irreparably damaged, is part of the plan of the hidden hand…

When British people realise that our cities are in fact under foreign occupation civil war will and must follow.

As you said : the sooner the better.

The people who push all this stuff are the real racists. They are control freaks who love to surround themselves with people they believe are inferior, so they can get to play headmistress.

The rude awakening happens when the “inferior” people turn out to be more intelligent and desiring of independence than the headmistress thought, and then it all starts to get a bit bitter.

I’ve seen it happen with a retired social worker of more than substantial private means who loved to do this.

Agreed. The rude awakening often happens when the cushy well paid jobs go to the incomers and the home grown lefties realise they are unemployable.

I have noticed that these things are always accompanied by graphics that would shame a drunken 3 year-old trying to draw with his left hand and ungrammatical messages printed in fonts of a similar nature.

It is unbelievably infantilising, and I suspect highly illustrative of the intellectual capacity of the target audience.

We are no longer a NATION. We are simply a REGION. If you want global government then the best way to go about it is by mass immigration so that the people no longer feel British or German or French or Spanish etc, and we all just feel like good little global citizens. ——-It was the EU, who are the dummy run for Global Governance who started this mass immigration nightmare and huge chunks of our own Political Class are fully aligned with this Globalist Agenda, which is why Starmer eg admitted to Emily Maitless on Newsnight he “prefers Davos to Westminster”. —–These people no longer work for us. Their bosses are the UN and WEF.

Yet they greedily take every penny they can “legitimately” take from the British taxpayers whilst refusing to disclose their other paymasters and the amounts received.

Traitors.

You may know these exemples but I will post anyway.

“Regionalism must precede globalism. We foresee a seamless system of governance from local communities, individual states, regional unions and up through to the United Nations itself.”
UN’s Commission on Global Governance: 

“The concept of national sovereignty has been immutable, indeed a sacred principle of international relations. It is a principle which will yield only slowly and reluctantly to the new imperatives of global environmental cooperation.”
UN’s Commission on Global Governance: 

“A reasonable estimate for an industrialized world society at the present North American material standard of living would be 1 billion. At the more frugal European standard of living, 2 to 3 billion would be possible.”
UN Commission on Global Biodiversity 

The last example is interesting because on the other hand the UN is all for replacement migration to counter falling birth rates in Western countries. Contradictions and inconsistencies are not a problem for either Communists or Islamists.

The Boat Race will be up soon between Oxford and Cambridge. Meanwhile in the Channel we have the SMALL BOAT RACE. I wonder if the Sudanese or Eritreans will win this year.

The Muslims are sweeping that race. The channel was renamed recently to ‘Muhammad’s Moat’.

But moats keep people out—–Not a very effective moat is it? But what can you expect when the Political Class make sure the moat isn’t effective? —-Imagine a moat in the 13th century where all those trying to get into the castle were picked up from the moat, brought inside the castle and given a warm bed and something to eat. ——-That is what is happening in the Channel Moat today.

It’s like The Wizard of OZ – it doesn’t matter how kind or thoughtful you are, without a certificate you are none of these things.

It is disturbing to see three of the funders – City Bridge Trust, Lloyds Bank and Postcode Community Foundation. The City Bridge Trust is an off shoot of The City Bridge Foundation set up initially to look after London Bridge but now has four others and is over seen by The City of London Corporation. The Trust since 1995 has used surplus bridge funds to fund various causes with obviously some of dubious nature.

But the worst has to be the group that flounces around on TV ads to say that you could win lots of money in their postcode lottery without anyone knowing where the money they make goes. The first red flag I saw was that this mob was funding court action on global warming on behalf of children – hardly acting in their best interests given that Net Zero will turn their lives to shit.

How can you just decide these places are “whatever of sanctuary”, who makes these decisions, because Leeds is one of these damn citys, and no one asked us, and yes crime rates have shot up, communitys ruined. The country is as Matt Goodwin says, committing SUICIDE.

PREY – Immigration, Islam and the Erision of Women’s Rights’ by Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
How very odd, it rather seems this Muslim woman was seriously mistaken when she wrote this book, detailing how organisations such as this and governments blank the statistics as they fear people might discover the truth!
Well who could imagine such a thing!
