Other EU countries took massively more refugees (not that they had a choice) while the UK went "we are not in Schengen" and even refused undocumented child refugees.
It is easy to complain when the main streams go to mainland Europe as the UK is too far out.
Then there is Windrush, hostile environment, etc.. the UK has structural racism too.
The refugee deal with Turkey is unacceptable btw and I rather see the UK IN to block any more of that and actually have a positive impact.

When I say 'EU immigration policy is a racist horrorshow' I include the UK, as the UK remains part of the EU. I may be anti-EU but that doesn't make me pro-UK. That's a false binary.
The conversation around immigration when it comes to Europe is very inward looking and back-patting (Hooray for FoM, aren't we progressive!). But its policies towards migration across the Med (returning boat loads of refugees to Libya for instance) are a fucking disgrace. If Trump tried to pull that shit he would rightly be excoriated. Building a wall looks pretty moderate in comparison.

Nah, we call the EU racist because whilst its approach to migration within its own borders is fine, its approach to migration from without its own borders is a horrorshow, particularly in relation to migrants attempting to cross the Mediterranean.
