What does the open-border industrial complex look like?

Here's how I conceptualise what's happening to British society

Chat GPT getting the gist of my article roughly correct. Forgive AI imagery: one-woman band here!

As my readers will know, over the past few years I have been writing a lot about open-border charities (not least because there’s so much to find!)

By this I mean charities whose cumulative effect is to create de facto open borders in the UK. Their typical activities will be things such as providing legal advice, housing support and/ or language services to asylum seekers in the UK. Given the huge amount of taxpayer funding many of these outfits receive – I have calculated over £240 million going towards 22 asylum and migration charities alone – their impact on the UK has become profound indeed.

But they’re not even the whole story when it comes to open-borders; they are part of a very large system that’s hurting the UK. Today I wanted to try and map out what that actually looks like. To my mind, these are a series of units working in lockstep – many with overlapping funders – to end the nation state (if it even exists any more). Similar to my long-read on the Red-Green alliance, I will now explain what I believe this system roughly looks like.
