Activists involved in struggles against detention centres arrived in Reading yesterday to say hello to our friends at ‘Global Expertise in Outsourcing’ (The GEO Group), who last year were awarded the contract to run Campsfield Immigration Removal Centre in Kidlington.
We found that in order to gain access to their UK Head Office, we had to ring the doorbell. So two smartly dressed activists attempted to blag their way in by asking about the possibility of doing ‘work experience’ there. After one of them ducked under the employee’s arm, the others barged their way through Ya Basta! stylee (but without the padding).
We delivered leaflets and ‘verbally communicated’ our disdain at this immoral corporation. We discovered that there were actually only three employees in the office (it was lunchtime) who seemed startled at our exhibition.
As we attempted to leave, we discovered that we had been locked in, and had to find an alternative exit.
We’d encourage others to pay them a friendly visit, or call them on 01189359460.

Due to technical difficulties, the video of the action will be uploaded within the next few days.
