How should the community respond to 'Operation Skybreaker'? Brent Against Racism meeting tomorrow

Notice from Brent Against Racism Campaign (BARC)

Brent is one of 5 London boroughs currently being targeted in a new Home Office immigration operation, called Operation Skybreaker. This operation will see aggressive and heavy-handed raids on homes and businesses aimed at driving migrants out of the country. It is likely to result in racial profiling (i.e., stopping anyone who looks like they might be a migrant) and a number of “fishing raids” (random raids not based on specific intelligence).

Brent Anti-Racism Campaign will host a meeting with guests from RAMFEL (Refugee and Migrant Forum of Essex and London) and the Anti Raids Network to discuss the community response to this. 

Please join us on Wednesday 13 August, 7pm at Brent Trades Hall (Apollo Club), 375 High Road, London NW10 2JR (next to Willesden bus garage, 5 mins from Dollis Hill tube)

Peace for Palestine: Greens say 'Stop Arming Israel'

Tricycle audience reject criticism of the theatre management

Last night at the Tricycle Theatre in Kilburn two audience members stood up just as the perfomance was about to begin.

According to others present one of them said, "I apologise for interrupting but with the recent actions of the Tricycle Theatre we are boycotting this performance."

To my source's amazement, the whole theatre spontaneously responded with loud shouts of, "Go, go, get out." One woman was heard to say, "Let's hope no children were killed today."
