The Royal Courts of Justice
CAMPAIGNERS are back in the courts this week to challenge a £1,012 citizenship fee they claim is “pricing children out of their rights.”
The High Court ruled last year that the huge fee was unlawful, finding a “mass of evidence” showing that the sum prevented many children from registering for British citizenship, leaving them feeling “alienated,” “excluded” and “not fully assimilated into the culture and social fabric of the UK.”
But the Home Office appealed against the decision, which was heard today in the Court of Appeal.
Our priority must be to defend hard-won protections while linking equality law to trade union power and wider social transformation, says MARY DAVIS, on behalf of the Women’s Liberation Alliance
As extremist movements grow on the streets and at the ballot box, the emergence of the Together Alliance points to a vital strategy: unity across trade unions, campaigners and communities, says TONY CONWAY
