Campaigners protesting charter flights
THE government has denied that its deportation flight to Jamaica on Wednesday is discriminatory.
The Home Office is pushing ahead with the flight, which could see up to 50 men deported — including the fathers of young children — despite mounting calls for its cancellation.
Ministers claim that all those due to be on the flight have been convicted of serious crimes, including rape and murder.
Secret consultation documents finally released after the Morning Star’s two-year freedom of information battle show the Home Office misrepresented public opinion, claiming support for policies that most respondents actually strongly criticised as dangerous and unfair, writes SOLOMON HUGHES
