Deportation charter to Sri Lanka: media repudiation & UK political collusion

23-10-2012 11:31

Protesters are gathered (since 10am), Tuesday 23rd October, Harmondsworth & Colnbrook detention centres near Heathrow, to prevent the departure of vehicles transporting detainees due to be deported back to Sri Lanka today!
Updates on:  http://stopdeportations.wordpress.com/

3 attempts to deport people to Sri Lanka have previously been disrupted by a combination of legal action & direct action at the detention centres, with coaches physically stopped from leaving while lawyers won final-hour injunctions in court. During the last charter on 19th September, a person locked himself to the coach surrounded by supporters, holding it up for hours while 35 people gained injunctions stopping their deportations throughout the afternoon.

Police vs. Brag

23-10-2012 03:34

The police in the UK claim to be neutral enforcers of the law – disinterested machines dedicated to the violent enforcement of the will of the state. This would be contemptible enough, if only it were true. The thugs in uniform that House of Brag has encountered over the past week have not only persecuted us in the absence of any accusations of law-breaking but have actively ignored strong evidence of violent law-breaking which clashed with their anti-squatter agenda.

To take a step back – House Of Brag (HoB) is a small collective of idealistic queers and allies seeking to create a non-commercial space for queer people and activists to organise, network and socialise. A week and a half ago, we squatted a long-term abandoned council-owned building in South-Central London and opened up The London Queer Social Centre with a cafe, free-shop, work-shop, stage, library and events spaces – all free to use for anybody. For context, it may be worth making clear that we have not had any late or loud parties or done anything that could be considered anti-social or a disturbance in any way.

unions cuts march and london anti-workfare actions - pics & report

21-10-2012 13:30

piccadilly
despite very little publicity for yesterday's union-organised march in london, there was an impressive turn-out, with huge numbers still waiting to leave the embankment at the time the front of the march entered hyde park. as DPAC closed down park lane, and activists targetted oxford street workfare and tax avoidance stores, policing was sporadically violent, very high on surveillance, but with very few arrests.
