Riots could sweep the streets of Britain if immigration is not curbed, Rachel Reeves said in 2016. Yet the now-Chancellor's prescient warning was nowhere to be found in Labour's response to the current disorder.

Until this week, Keir Starmer told us the criminal justice system is at capacity, says Laurie Wastell. Turns out, we can clamp down on crime and disorder just as long as the target is the reviled white working class.

Nineteen Nigerian men on hunger strike in Tralee Hostel

category national | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Wednesday September 27, 2006 19:06author by Brother mine. - # Report this post to the editors

Its been going on for two weeks.

Nineteen Nigerian men have been hunger-striking in the Westwood Court
hostel in Tralee Town centre for a period of two weeks. local reports say
that the hunger-strike was postponed at one stage but is back on.
The Kerryman and the Kingdom have published interviews with the men
over the period.

They are protesting at the conditions which they say are inhumane. This includes
the refusal of the authorities in the hostel to allow family visits or guests in their
rooms and bad food. The stipend given to the men is well known, because it
is the same given to other applicants for asylum/refugees.

If anyone in the area can offer solidarity and bring a camera, it would be useful.
The hostel is located opposite The Abbey Inn Public House, which is
near the re-modelled Square in the town centre.

Looking for info from the local papers , will update.
