Hundreds of protesters prevented an attempt to collect asylum seekers from a south London hotel and transfer them to the Bibby Stockholm barge. The Guardian witnessed crowds blocking the bus and the road outside the Best Western hotel in Peckham before police were able to move in and break up the protest. The bus eventually left the area after seven hours, with no asylum seekers onboard

There are plenty of vacancies not being filled like in the NHS, in care, in teaching, in manuel labor ( think fruits and vegetables rotting in fields) etc.... We are being manipulated by a few very rich people who control medias and want things to stay the way they are. The truth is there are plenty of resources on earth to satisfy everyone. Greed is the problem.
