The mini-detention centre at the Eurostar Terminal, Waterloo was targetted today. A 20ft Banner reading "NO BORDERS" was hung across the information board, whilst others handed out leaflets to the hundresd of travellers that saw the banner.
Protesters from The Wombles, Barbed Wire Britain and Rhythms of Resistance combined for a very public showing of feeling over Fortress Europe's immigration controls. The banner was still hanging from Waterloo Station as I was ejected from the station. The Samba band, turned up later to give a bit of percussional support to the two people who had scaled Waterloo station to do the banner drop.
Several people tried to get past the border controls to where the detention centre is, but they were forcibly ejected.
This was the forth refugee rights/no borders action of the weekend in London alone.
