Rights for asylum seekers - "Review" won't end scandal
Scrap Straw's vouchers!
When TGWU leader Bill Morris remitted the motion to scrap vouchers for asylum seekers at Labour Party Conference, it was apparently because the Front Bench promised a review of the system.
No review is needed to show that people can not live of 70% of poverty level income support
No review is needed to show that giving asylum seekers vouchers not cash is racist and demeaning
No review is needed to prove racist attacks against asylum seekers are on the increase since vouchers and other reactionary measures like dispersal have been introduced by this new Labour government.
Increasing numbers of people have be won to support for the Campaign to Defend Asylum Seekers which is demanding that the voucher system be scraped.
The only positive thing about the review is if it gives campaigners an opportunity to make our case even more loudly. Add your voice!
