Ten campaigners have just occupied the offices of XL Airways, a private charter company based in Crawley. One person is locked on inside the building and others are inside leafleting workers.

A banner saying "Cheap Flights - Cheap Lives?" has been hung.
XL offer cheap holidays to sunny destinations and claim to 'fly you to freedom'. But on their website there is no mention of their flights to places such as the Democratic Republic of Congo which are used by the home office to deport people including children.
