Commercial deportation flights are when the government charters airlines, such as British Airways, to carry out the brutal removals for them. Recently we managed to get Virgin to agree to stop, time for others to follow suit !!

Since we started campaigning against deportations carried out by BA and other commercial airlines we have had the pleasure to collaborate with many BA workers unhappy about the company's collusion with hostile the environment.

Thanks to the hundreds of people that joined us last night for our online rally to demand the closure of the Napier and Penally barracks. Over the next week, we will continue to share content to put pressure on @pritipatel @ukhomeoffice to close the camps once and for all! โœŠ๐ŸŒˆโค๏ธ

Through our campaign against deportations weโ€™ve had inspiring solidarity from unionised airline workers. Now they are under attack. We stand with the thousands of workers calling on BA to stop this betrayal of workers. Show your support for BA workers:

Another gem from @ukhomeoffice 's racist toolbox. Rather than spending money on racist propaganda, maybe you could fund youth clubs, free education and social housing? Just a thought

Our demand to end police presence at Pride extends to all enablers of the Hostile Environment and those who benefit from it, including the Home Office, the army, security companies and airlines that support the inhumane deportation of migrants. ๐Ÿงต3/5

We invaded the stage while @British_Airways CEO @alex_cruz looked on in horror from the crowd. British Airways enter into contracts to deport migrants. These are often violent with migrants restrained as they are deported back to countries where they may face persecution.

@British_Airways been responsible for carrying countless deportees, including LGBTQ asylum seekers and members of the Windrush generation, who were illegally marked for deportation, to countries where they risk persecution, or where they have not set foot for decades.
