"Welcome demonstration" on the first day during the Noborder Camp at Gatwick Airport, September 2007.
Protest against WH Tours , Crawley, a company which hires coaches for mass deportations, used to transport detainees from detention centres to airports.
STOP DANGEROUS DRIVERS! NO MORE WH DEPORTATION TOURS!
Public demo at WH Tours offices, Kelvin Way, Crawley
Saturday, 27th March 2010
Meet 11am at Crawley train station / 11.30am outside WH Tours. Bring banners and instruments.
WH Tours is a coach company based in Crawley, near Gatwick airport. Part of the company's business is leisure: coach excursions, sightseeing tours and so on. Another part, however, is much more sinister: the company provides coaches for transporting detained migrants facing deportation from immigration prisons to airports to be deported on commercial or specially chartered flights.
