Here's some of the photographs taken at the recent blockades of Brand Street Immigration Office in Glasgow. They have been successful in preventing the practice of "dawn raids" on the flats of "failed" asylum seekers in the city, at least on the three days that they have taken place on.

Good demo today at Brand Street, about 300 people, including a (rather good) steel band. Didnt stay for very long, but there was a strong showing from the local community. Lots and lots of mums with children.
