Doesn't say where the walk is to or what the point of it is.

I would expect there to be articles in local papers soon. Is big event and it starts in Dover, first leg of Walk will be to Shepherdswell, where a play will be performed in the evening and next day onto to Canterbury and so on, sort of Canterbury Tales. Will be posting further information.

It says its supported by Dover Big Local, but doesn't say who's organising it even though we are invited to join them?
Really a very uninformative fly posting.

No Reginald, just Howard not mastering the macro function on his camera!
Details are at the bottom in small print, it's
Gatwick Detainees Welfare Group, a registered charity.

Thanks Ray. Interesting read shame for such a small organisation, that they have to have paid staff.

Does anyone know the difference between a detention centre and an immigration removal centre?

I must admit I thought a detention centre was used to check the status of people and if it was shown that they were trying it on they were transferred to a removal centre.
So if it turns out they are both the same we will be celebrating and supporting illegal immigration with the current and previous mayors in attendance.

Quite a lot of people in Market Square earlier, drums being played and people clapping a senior church figure after every few words from him.

I must say Chris certainly keeps us all informed and up to date with what is going on.

You wouldn't stay the distance Keith!

You'd be better off taking a taxi!
