Addition: Short report of a short picket

12 activists plus 1 dog picketed the Cardiff offices of the UK Border Agency for an hour between 4-5pm today, catching a lot of post-work traffic along a busy Newport Road.

There were some positive comments from passers by and migrants attending the offices as well the less positive, highly creative, "get a job"x 2 (ever heard of shift work? flexi-time? annual leave?).

We wanted to express our solidarity with migrants and activists in Calais.

Cardiff, with its history a port, has always been multicultural. Many nationalities represented here were represented in the camp in Calais - Iraqis, Iranians, Afghanis etc. Migrants with family connections in the UK be allowed in. This issue has been glossed over by the mainstream media.The media have also said how the crime rate increased in Calais while the Jungle was up. They failed to mention, so far as I can see, the attacks that the police made on activists trying to feed refugees there. This whole story has been distorted. End racists border controls - freedom of movement for all!
