Radiographer. Resident for 6 ys. Wife & 5 kids (all at school here 6 ys). Refused settlement for £70 traffic fine. It meant they all had to leave the UK.

1/7 I was an immig lawyer during the entire time @theresa_may was Home Secretary. Here are a random selection of tears:-Radiographer. Resident for 6 ys. Wife & 5 kids (all at school here 6 ys). Refused settlement for £70 traffic fine. It meant they all had to leave the UK.

Son of a woman who had suffered catastrophic stroke while she was on a visit. The Home Office were trying to deport her whilst she was in a vegetative state. She had nobody in her home country. She died. He sobbed telling how devastated, yet relieved, he was at her death.

2/7

Woman who escaped appalling dom violence to protect her kids. She had a new application with the Home Office. However, she was not allowed to receive medical treatment until the decision. Denied access to anti depression medication, so social services took her kids away.

3/7

Theatre nurse for 7 years. Submitted photos that were"too dark". Her application took ages so her employer checked with Home Office. They called her to a meeting, told her Home Office had refused application & she would have to leave work immediately.

4/7

Man who was brought here as a teenager, who was waiting the final few months until he had reached 14 years residence and was able to apply for legal status (right to work, GP etc). I had to tell him that Mrs May had changed the qualifying period to 20 years

5/7

Student in final months of study. Accused of using a substitute in Eng lang test as she couldn't describe the test centre building (from 3y previously). Visa cancelled & barred from UK for 10y. Her family would be in debt for generations to pay for her incomplete degree.

6/7



7/7 To all of the above (and all, whose tears I saw); know this. I did not feel a single shred of sorrow for @theresa_may when I saw her tears. I thought of all of you instead. I hope you saw her tears, in far happier circumstances than you were in, when you cried yours.
