Weyman Bennett Stand Up To Racism joint organiser says; “David Cameron would like refugees to be out of sight and out of mind. But this will not solve the refugee crisis. We will be outside Downing St tonight to send a message to Cameron not to bulldoze refugees’ homes and to let them into Britain.”
