Refugee camp revolt

Hundreds of refugees wanting to seek asylum in Britain hold a protest against human rights abuse by the authorities, Sangatte Red Cross Shelter, nr Calais. Due to the British Government policy they face death by clinging to Eurostar trains and have been battered, gassed and attacked with dogs by the French riot police.

Remember this, Britain is an island, it is vulnerable anything could happen, a meteor could fall from space, we could find ourselves paddling across the channel on a lilo one day, seeking refuge on the other side.

What if you were met by guards with dogs, to detain you and strip you of all human rights and dignity within barbed-wire security camps, and then deport you straight back?

Many of these asylum seekers are fleeing from attrocities in their homelands, or 'natural' disasters. They are the victims of globalisation, show solidarity and show compassion, remember that?
