Solihull protest against the imposition of biometric ID cards on migrants

26-11-2008 10:37

Yesterday Noborders Birmingham protested against the imposition of biometric ID cards at the UK Border Agency Office in Solihull. They were met by a puzzling disproportionate police response at Dominion Court, 41 Station Road, Solihull - around 12 police officers, including 3 police vans and an evidence gatherer. This may have something to do with the policing of a previous protest around the corner at Sandford House, the home office reporting centre, where hundreds of Congolese demonstrators facing mass deportation occupied the main road

23-11-2008 10:12

The Observer has today withdrawn the claptrap they published a fortnight ago, claiming climate camper and others greens were on the verge of launching mass casualty terror attacks. Thank you to Stephen Pritchard, the Observer Reader's Editor, who listened to our concerns with an open mind and took this to the highest levels at the paper.
