To further its own right-wing "law and order" agenda
Likewise, in the wake of the racial violence, there will be no public discussion or even the semblance of a parliamentary debate on Iemma's new legislation today.

14-12-2005 18:35

Dawn Protest at Glasgow Brand Street immigration center

Glasgow's Brand Street Immigration Centre was the target of another early morning protest today [report].

Around 30 Anarchists, Christians, Communists, Clowns, liberals, muslims, pagans, refugee support workers, socialists and people of no particular allegiance descended on Brand St at 5am with the aim of preventing a dawn raid for one day at least.

An informal candlelit vigil was held outside.

After a while, a distraction of clowns arrived and the mood lightened a little. They declared themselves to be from Elsewhere and attempted to turn themselves in for deportation to Denmark, Jamaica, any country more sane than this one [report].

Around 8.30 the protesters left, satisfied that no raids would or could take place that day.
