Dear Supporter
Disgracefully the Home Office have just ignored my second FOI request on Commonwealth deportations, they said they would respond by 28th June and I have heard nothing since.
Given they failed to respond to my first FOI and following my complaint to the Information Commissioners who have instructed them to respond you would think they would make an effort to comply or at the very least write by the deadline to update me. This stinks of an attempted cover up of the full extent of deportations which should've hot be happening.
So to keep the pressure up from another perspective I launched a new petition yesterday. You may have seen a Guardian article I was quoted in on Friday about Virgin declaring they are now refusing to work with the Home Office , if not here is a link; https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/jun/29/virgin-airlines-no-longer-help-deport-immigrants-lgbt-windrush
I would be grateful if you would sign & share my new petition calling on British Airways & other airlines to do the same & refuse to carry people deported by the government on their flights;

Thanks and best wishes
