Occupation at Labour Party Offices for East Midlands

A group of concerned people from around Nottinghanshire have occupied the Labour Party's Regional Offices at Harold Wilson House in Attenborough, Beeston. The object being to urge their local MP's to act on inhumane policies towards asylum Seekers that leave many destitute. At the moment nearly 900 refugees in Nottinghamshire alone, live in destitution. Most experience hunger, and cannot afford to buy clothes or shoes and many are not able to maintain good health.

*****

Both main political parties are trying to out-do each other in the 'lets be horrible to asylum seekers stakes'. Playing with peoples' lives.
..... the Archbishop of Canterbury has just pointed out that its a bad idea. Bad politics.
We agree with him!
