Three refugees removed from Bournemouth, 1st May. Updated.

In a massive insult to our Class, the most anti-Working Class government in recent history chose International Workers’ Day to begin its racist deportation programme, abducting three Fellow Workers from Bournemouth as they registered at the police station.

At 10am asylum applicants began arriving at the sty to sign on as they are required to do. Many had received ‘Rwanda letters’. They were greeted by support workers from the Portland Global Friendship Group and a lively demonstration involving SWP front group Stand up to Racism, Amnesty International, anarchists of Wessex Solidarity’s John Hardy Centuria and non-aligned locals.

Applicants were asked their names and given telephone numbers for legal support, some were accompanied into the building with translation services available. We counted them in and counted them out. By midday it was evident that three people had been taken ‘for interview’ and kept for an hour and a half.

The SWP/SUTR rep seemed to think he was in charge – they can’t help it, can they? – Though he was not above shooting the breeze with babylon. Authoritarians don’t share our disdain for ‘workers in uniform’ as no bolshevik regime would last five minutes without its cops. He called a meeting and observed numbers were dwindling, this seemed to put the kybosh on it. Could anybody stay a bit longer and return in two weeks?

Given the sensitivity of the operation, we suspected the filth would try and remove the detainees in unmarked vehicles. Trotsky was adamant that: “no, they are using Home office vans all over the country”. He then sloped off to his Palestine demo, mentioning in passing that there was a back gate to the car park and someone might want to keep an eye on that.

A small group of us headed that way, just before we got there the gate opened and three identical unmarked black vans with black windows left at speed.

So that’s how they do it. If you can get to Bournemouth nick on Madeira road on Wednesday 15th May between 10:00 and 13:00 please come down, we need numbers. Meanwhile we’ve got the names of the detainees and work is underway to track those vehicles.

This embarrassing publicity stunt by rat-faced parasite Sunak must fail; the criminal gangs we want taken down are the ones that wilfully smashed the infrastructure of five countries and left their inhabitants to sit in the rubble. We will not pander to artificial scarcity, there is no shortage of anything in this country, with a million uninhabited dwellings and twelve million tons of food thrown away each year. Borders serve only the bosses, and exist to maintain differentials in prices and wages that boost the markup on manufacturing.

Update, 02/05/24:

We can now report that four comrades were taken yesterday, one omitted to give us their name. We also know that their phones were confiscated, to prevent them getting on the internet and having access to their contacts. The have been supplied with a cheap Nokia instead.

They are currently being held at:

Brook House immigration removal centre Perimeter Road South, London Gatwick Airport, RH6 0PQ. Map and directions run by the parasitic Serco corporation, which made a £249,000,000 operating profit from human misery last year.

Watch this space for further updates; this is shit the government doesn’t want you to know, so share it far and wide.

On a more positive note, a record 711 Fellow Workers crossed the channel safely in 14 boats yesterday, 1st May, we congratulate them.

Show your support for refugees, Portland 16 September 2023 Demo and music event.

Portland fascists expose themselves!

Dorset Eye, with admirable patience, have faithfully transcribed racist comments from the ‘No To The Barge’ campaign Facebook group which has become a vehicle for the kind of people we had a World War to get shot of.

You might know some of these people – you’d want to give them a wide berth – maybe send us some pictures so we can avoid them too.

Julie Croley (who carried a ‘Stop The Invasion’ placard at the campaign’s events and whose husband Mike Croley regularly wears a ‘White Lives Matter’ T-shirt) talks of impending “sexual harassment, attacks and rapes”, of an “Islamic invasion” and states “We’re being turned into an Islamic country”

Bert Travers: “take lots of photos/videos of any potentially dangerous looking situations (chatting young girls up, near schools, causing trouble etc etc”)

Karen Lewis: “get CCTV on your bodies”

Darren Ozzy: “I want to see a weekly migrant victim death count just like we did with covid” and asks “What are the shops going to do when the attacks, rapes and murders begin?”

Stuart Chiswelstaff Breckell: “Would you put 506 wolves in a field with 13,535 sheep and hope for a happy ending”

Portia Duvall warns of “the violent sexual assaults on women and children on the streets”

Fifi Fitzsimmons posts about “rapists” and “men that will beat a child or a woman” and adds “We are doomed”

Julie Anderton: “There will be murders, rape and pillage!” “These 500 men will require 500 young, local ladies. They will take by force.” “Local lads will start fights with them but these migrants use knives.” “They will force their lifestyle on us including their religion. They hate us! THEY HATE US!”

Michelle Varney warns of “muggings” and Michael Mccarthy talks of “rape, robbery, muggings, attacks”

Mark Paul: “How many rapes, sexual assaults and murders need to happen?”

Steve Moore: “A high percentage will be potential groomers….. paedophile migrants. Keep your kids SAFE”

Lee Calvert: “What these retards don’t understand is we have 500 men! Coming from rapey stabby countries”

Micky Biggs: “These are pouring into Europe every day thousands of them not a woman or child in sight. Mostly ex prisoners and criminal economic migrants”

Elaine Bearne (as Fanny Adams): “The illegals steal pets”

Chaz Charlton: “heard they are putting a temporary musque in the bowl up the grove”

Sandra Willis Smith declares there are “no go zones for white people happening up and down the country” and that the asylum seekers “have all tested positive for HIV”

Margit Cotton: “We’re being invaded,” “50 years from now we’ll be a Muslim country”

Micky Greeno: “This country has to stop this onslaught and invasion”

Phillip Davies declares we are being “Invaded by a Muslim army”

Chris Leggy Legg: “This is an army of fighting aged men”

Jackie Teague: “These men are gathering an army under the guise of asylum”

Sue Ayton warns we will be “killed off by these illegals”

Darren Jenkins: “For all we know they could have been chopping off heads a few months ago”

Allen Varney: “All ready for when they take over…. Only a matter of time”

Ally Carroll: “We have a religious war brewing,” “these illegals, 606,000 in UK up to last year, are part of a global organised invasion,” “certainly a move to destroy against the indigenous peoples of GB”

Colin Waller: “They are foot soldiers waiting for the call from Islam”

‘Floating Prisons’: The 200-year-old family business behind the Bibby Stockholm

Corporate Watch


Bibby Line Group Limited is a UK company offering financial, marine and construction services to clients in at least 16 countries around the world. It recently made headlines after the government announced one of the firm’s vessels, Bibby Stockholm, would be used to accommodate asylum seekers on the Dorset coast.

In tandem with plans to house migrants at surplus military sites, the move was heralded by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Home Secretary Suella Braverman as a way of mitigating the £6m-a-day cost of hotel accommodation amid the massive ongoing backlog of asylum claims, as well as deterring refugees from making the dangerous channel crossing to the UK. Several protests have been organised against the project already, while over ninety migrants’ rights groups and hundreds of individual campaigners have signed an open letter to the Home Secretary calling for the plans to be scrapped, describing the barge as a “floating prison.”

Corporate Watch has researched into the Bibby Line Group’s operations and financial interests. We found that:

Queering The Pitch

AnarCom Network

As the de facto homo-hating Tories cement their ‘new’ regime firmly on the right, the Foreign Minister responsible for the safety of UK citizens abroad, James Cleverly, tells LGBTQI+ football fans planning to go to the World Cup fiasco in the Emirati statelet of Qatar to show “a little bit of flex and compromise”

He went on to add that “These are Muslim countries (sic), they have a very different cultural starting point for us. I think it’s important when you’re a visitor to a country that you respect the culture of your host nation.” One wonders what advice he would have found acceptable to give black citizens visiting apartheid South Africa.

This follows the arrest of redoubtable human rights and queer activist Peter Tatchell there for protesting outside the National Museum of Qatar with a placard bearing “Qatar arrests, jails & subjects LGBTs to ‘conversion’ #QatarAntiGay.”

Now that the Queen is dead, it’s time we bury the monarchy

gal-dem

The queues began in the night. Starting at St Giles’ Cathedral on the Royal Mile, a line of several thousands of people snaked across Edinburgh for miles, patiently waiting for the opportunity to shuffle past a 96-year-old woman’s coffin. The city jumped into action to accommodate the royal mourners: portaloos and water stops were installed along the route, while the Salvation Army arrived to hand out hot drinks and food during the cold night. Yet, elsewhere in the city, 4,500 of Edinburgh’s homeless citizens slept rough on the streets or in temporary accommodation – a figure only expected to worsen as the UK’s cost of living crisis continues into the winter.

As we’ve seen since the Queen’s death on 8 September, the UK is actually very well equipped to handle a crisis – or whatever the state deems to be one. Public billboards and advertising spaces immediately transformed to memorialise the Queen, transport services have been magicked out of thin air to accommodate mourners, and a meticulously orchestrated operation has rolled out across the country.

Where was this leap to action at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic? Where is it now as the UK enters a cost of living crisis? Where are the hot drinks and portaloos for the people who are forced to spend every night outside? And where, exactly, are the millions of pounds that will be coughed up for the Queen’s funeral and the King’s ascension, for the parents relying on schools and a footballer to feed their children, for the pensioners riding buses to stay warm and for the 42% of us who will not be able to heat our homes by next January? The pompous display of wealth feels jarring against the worst fall in living standards for 60 years. Not only is it unnecessary, it’s deeply inappropriate.

“In modern Britain, ‘respect’ is only reserved for the wealthy – not for the most vulnerable in society”

The Queen’s death has only proven what we’ve come to know

Campaigners warn of “huge backlash” if government rewrites rules on fracking

DRILL OR DROP?

Fracking opponents have warned of a “huge backlash” if the government agrees to industry demands for new rules to make shale gas production quicker and easier.

Frack Free Lancashire, which opposed Cuadrilla’s operations in the county, said this evening the industry could not operate within the current regulations and now needed to “rewrite the rules”.

It also accused shale gas companies of “disrespecting” local communities and “disregarding” the environment.

The government announced last Thursday that it was lifting the moratorium on fracking in England, that has been in place since 2019.

Now the industry is repeating previous calls for ministers to go further and relax the regulations controlling fracking-induced earthquakes and change the planning system for shale gas.
