"I'm being investigated for WRONGTHINK but I WON'T be SILENCED."
A powerful & very personal speech by our Senior Fellow Dr.Thursday, 2 May 2024
Blocked.
The Home Office has abandoned plans to move a group of asylum seekers to the Bibby Stockholm barge in the wake of protests.
The men living in Margate, Kent, were served notice that they would be transferred to the asylum accommodation in Dorset earlier this month.
But following action by residents to disrupt coaches on April 24 and 25, the Home Office has now withdrawn the plans.
Read about it in The Irish News.
It comes as police were called on Thursday after a separate group of protesters blocked a coach believed to be set to take asylum seekers from a hotel in Peckham, south east London, to the barge.

Desperate
Migrants say they are being driven to attempt Channel crossings by increased aggression from French police – funded by Britain – who force them to move on from their camps every 48 hours. Refugees living in makeshift camps in Dunkirk said police were dispersing them every two days, and that every 10-12 weeks police in riot gear destroy their whole camp.
Read about it in the Independent
One Afghan refugee told The Independent how the constant destruction by police of camps was making him and others increasingly desperate to reach the UK. Every few weeks the police are coming and destroying our tents and blankets everything, and then we just have nothing in the rain.
Is this true?
