An organising meeting called by No One Is Illegal

Wednesday 3rd November, 7:30pm
Royal Festival Hall, Southbank Centre, Belvedere Road, SE1 8XX
Meet by the bar on the ground floor

On November 29th a law to limit immigration, punish people for having relationships outside of the EU and further link language and immigration controls, will come into effect. Spouses and partners, from outside of the European Economic Area, applying to come to Britain, will have to pass an English language test before they come to the UK. The government estimate that this will lead to a 10% reduction of people coming on the spousal visa. The new requirement will be debated again next Monday in the House of Lords.

Following a public meeting hosted by No One Is Illegal those present decided that this new law should not be able to come into place without further resistance. Ideas so far include developing teaching resources, involving current ESOL teachers and students, taking out legal challenges against the law and a demonstration bringing together all the groups working against the various effects of immigration controls.

The government claim that this new law is about integration and helping people to learn English. If you disagree then please join us to discuss ways we can organise.
