Campaigners vow not to take pressure off government’s racist policies at FBU fringe

CAMPAIGNERS have vowed “not to take the pressure off” the government’s racist policies following news that deportation flights will not take place before the elections.

Speaking at a Stand Up To Racism (SUTR) fringe at the FBU conference in Blackpool, SUTR national officer Nahella Ashraf warned that with neither party having an answer to ease the cost-of-living crisis, “the only thing they’re going to fight on is how racist they can be.”

As shock raids continue to take place across the country, Ms Ashraf said: “The fear it has created in people who have just come here, having already gone through trauma, is horrific.”
