Demonstrators gathered outside the Home Office in response to the Cabinet minister’s comments on refugees and the homeless.
A group of campaigners gathered outside the Home Office in Westminster on Saturday in opposition to Ms Braverman’s comments on refugees and tents in public spaces.
The Home Secretary is currently on a visit to the Greek island of Samos, and said on Saturday she wants to put a stop to the “nuisance and distress” caused by homeless people pitching tents on public streets. She warned Britain is at risk of becoming like “San Francisco and Los Angeles … where weak policies have led to an explosion of crime, drug taking, and squalor”.Speaking at the protest, Mr Bennett told the PA news agency: “If you’re a refugee you have a right to claim asylum, if you’re homeless and you’re freezing to death, a tent is a good idea.”
James Cox from the Public and Commercial Services Union said: “It’s really important that the people who are doing the work have their voices heard. We want to run an immigration system that cares for the most vulnerable.
