The demo started with some speakers including an Afghan student who may be deported soon. Demonstrators managed some communication with inmates by waving, shouting and banging drums, but unfortunately they were kept inside for the duration of the demo. The police presence was less intensive than it has been on some recent protests there, but evidence gatherers were photographing some people.
Campsfield is run privately by Global Solutions (GSL), which used to be part of the notorious corporation Group 4 Falck. GSL also has the contract to run a new 'accommodation centre' for migrants in Bicester, also in Oxfordshire, due to be built next year.
The next demonstration at Campsfield will be on Christmas Day, the one after will be on Saturday January 29th. Lets make it another big one.
