Throughout

‘They are the ones the Lord has sent to go throughout the earth.’ (1:10)

Well, they'd have a hard time these days. Just about every border would be closed to them in the wealthier parts of the world. The poor would see God's agents but the rich would miss out. Ironic really. But that's the problem with shutting borders. All too often someone misses out, or far, far worse.

I don't know if you've picked up the Gary Lineker controversy. Apparently he compared Suella Braverman to the Nazis. This is hardly helpful but I'm wondering if he may have been trying to remind us that the international laws on asylum seekers were put into place as a response to the failure of so many nations - including our own - to welcome those seeking asylum from the Nazis. To remove those laws is not to commit genocide but it does remove one protection from those under terrible risk. 

I don't know if you've spotted it but these days no one can legally flee to Britain unless they are from Syria, Ukraine or Hong Kong. Now I may be being simplistic but it seems to me there may be other countries from which one might reasonably wish to flee, and that there should be some legal route here for those under threat for their lives.
