2 police vans have turned up. They're not up to much. lots of shouting down the loudhailers.

Banner with "group 4 profit from racist prisons" also on display over the entrance.

error in previous report blockade is of the doorway not gateway.

Action is still in process. Police are generally being arguementative but no-one has been asked to leave. Could be there for a while yet.

offices are on manor road, manor royal industrial estate.

some photos of the blockade of Group 4

Part of our group approached the Group 4 offices main entrance while others leafleted on the main road. We spoke to the security guard on the front desk who wouldn't let us in for some reason, so we tied our banner onto the doors of the main entrance. the gatwick express newspaper was put on the windscreens of every car in their car park. Gradually, employees started to come out from the buildings back entrance. Most didn't acknowledge us, a few took a paper but none were willing justify their own role in a company that makes £millions out of detaining asylum seekers (at Dungavel) and from forcibly escorting asylum seekers back to the countries where they may face war, torture and even death.

the demo ended on our own terms at about 6.45pm, after all of the employees had left the offices.
