Opposing the launch of ID cards, 25 November 2008, Croydon

Europe | Identity Cards in the UK | Actions | Borders / Migration

from email via noborders london, updated 25 November 2008:

Biometric ID cards will come into force for non-EU students and spouses from 25th November 2008 and will be issued from offices in Birmingham, Cardiff, Croydon, Glasgow, Liverpool, and Sheffield.

We will be holding a protest outside the Home Office building (Lunar House) in Croydon, London and hope for protests outside each of the other offices on that day.

Borders are rising around all of us, immigration law already gives the Home Office powers it would like to exert over everybody.

We are against repression in all its forms and the many controls which would restrict the lives of everyone. The UK is becoming a mass surveillance society, migrants are at the very sharp end.

We see the launch of ID cards for some migrants as a further step to the general introduction of ID cards and the strenghtening of control in the UK.

By resisting the repression of migrants, we defend the freedom of everyone!

Police Review: magazine cartoon - "In staggeringly poor taste"

from J4J campaign, 18 November 2008: We would imagine that, in the midst of the inquest into the death of Jean Charles de Menezes, publications aimed at and widely read by serving police officers would show greater sensitivity in the way they talk about fatal shootings by the police. But evidently not. The magazine "Police Review", in its 14 November edition, decided that the introduction of new rules preventing firearms officers from conferring after a shooting was best illustrated by this appalling cartoon. more
