Stop the Criminalization of muslims. There will be two public meetings in Manchester in response to the decision by the Home Office to deport muslims for opaque reasons of "national security" despite no evidence being found, apart from possession of sugar and photographs of Manchester landmarks, for the much publicised "very big terrorist plot" as the Prime Minister called it, just before 12 men were arrested and detained for almost two weeks before being released without charge into detention by the immigration authorities where they may remain for several years pending their appeal against arbitrary deportation. If civil rights aren't for you, forget about these meetings.
STOP THE DEPORTATIONS OF THE PAKISTANI STUDENTS!
STOP THE CRIMINALIZATION OF MUSLIMS!
In a blaze of hysterical publicity, armed police swooped on 12 Pakistani students in Manchester and Liverpool on April 8th. The Prime Minister boasted of a major terror plot being foiled. Inspite of no evidence of any terror plot being found, 11 of the 12 are still being held in custody, awaiting deportation. Instead of an apology, the police promised more such raids. We must unite to stop the deportation of the Pakistani students and break the wall of fear that is being built around Muslim communities.
In February, nine Muslim men were arrested on the M65 motorway near Blackburn on their way to join the Viva Palestina aid convoy for Gaza. They were released without charge. Five years ago, again in a blaze of publicity, ten North Africans and Kurds were arrested in Manchester, falsely implicated in terror. The government must stop this shameful harassment and criminalisation of Muslim communities and the media must stop the demonisation of Muslims.

New Labour Nazi victims.

And, as years of Internet experience have proven, I better point out I'm being sarcastic here.
Sarcastic, but accurate. All police states work on such principles: stated risks out-weighing checks and balances. Go insert your favourite Nazi quote about what the public will tolerate, when told they face a high enough danger. Tony Blair, the architect of the Holocaust in Gaza, and future permanent president of Europe, knows exactly what he is doing.
Luckily (for Blair), all nations agree that 'foreigners' have little to no rights. Even so-called 'decent' states have the right to arbitrarily expel non-citizens. This means that 'foreigners' are always the first to be scapegoated - because there is little to no chance that the courts will overrule such government actions.
I should mention that organisations carefully crafted to alienate most members of the British public are quoted by 'Jim' as backers of these protests- how useful to Blair. Aren't there the highest principles of British 'justice' and 'fairness' involved here? Shouldn't mainstream organisations with mass public respect be campaigning on behalf of these Pakistani victims of New Labour Nazi thuggery? Nothing happens by accident in Britain.
