ENVIRONMENTAL justice campaigners blocked the entrance to the Home Office building in Glasgow today to demand the British government ends its hostile environment policy towards migrants. 

Activists from Extinction Rebellion (XR) Scotland and Glasgow Calls Out Polluters (COP) locked themselves to each other and to the property’s gates from about 7am on Monday.

The demonstrations were organised in response to Home Secretary Priti Patel’s Nationality and Borders Bill passing through the House of Commons.
