CAMPAIGNERS said the government has “blood on its hands” today as they called for safe passage for refugees.

Stand Up To Racism (SUTR) supporters are to gather outside Downing Street this evening to call for a more human asylum policy, allowing better routes into Britain as people wait for their applications to be processed.

The call comes after six refugees died on Saturday while attempting to cross the English Channel from France and amid the government’s “stop the boats” campaign.
