CAMPSFIELD (12-2PM), LINDHOLME, DONCASTER (11.30-1.45PM),
COMMUNICATIONS HOUSE, LONDON (1-2PM)


In the wake of this weekend's mass breakout at Campsfield, several of
us have decided to hold demonstrations and briefings OUTSIDE OUR
LOCAL IMMIGRANT PRISONS AT MID-DAY TOMORROW, TUESDAY. These coincide
with the regular monthly picket of COMMUNICATIONS HOUSE - the secret
Home Office prison and "disappearance point" that's smack in the
middle of London, on the Old Street roundabout (see below).
The picket is organized by Fight Racism Fight Imperialism, supported by No Borders & others

Today, it appears the breakout was by "foreign criminals" (now almost
a tautology!) of whom 14 are still free. Their most serious offence,
apparently, was burglary. No details yet of how many were guilty of
the new "serious crimes" of coming to Britain on false papers (from
countries where trying to get genuine ones can get you killed) or
refusing to go "home" when told to do so.

It is all target-driven of course, so if we can't find enough
criminals to deport, we must create some new crimes! This government
is surely world-leader in crime-creation: over 1,000 new ones since
1997, apparently.

I support what you do but your tactics are woeful. You think that demos alone aregoing to help asylum seekers. Engagement with unions, the political establishent and other groups is necessary
