Reading your paper today, one gets the impression that your paper is unable to provide unbiased coverage of events taking place. The No Borders camp is full of sensible people who have gathered in solidarity with people (including children) detained inhumanely for having committed no crime. I myself came here for this purpose, as well as to learn more about the issues involved in asylum seekers' and migrants' plights, and our government's responses to these. We challenge the government's inhumane approach, and have every right to do so, for this is, apparently, a free and democratic country.
I am disturbed by your spin - on the front cover - which suggests we are somehow disturbing locals - we are not, and that we are a health and safety problem - we again are not. Who is Mr Marsh, and how did he form these opinions? (Is he perhaps BNP one wonders).
Please, if you write again on this camp, make it clear that on Thursday and Friday there are workshops taking place here at the camp (not just on Sunday), and that the camp is always open to the public, and that the public are very welcome here - we are the public!
Yours sincerely,
Joe Hill
