treat deportees with dignity

It is shocking to read the Guardian article "Deportees treated as commodities by security staff, says prisons inspector", as to how those being deported from the UK are being treated by the private contractors. The recommendations of the National Independent Commission on Enforced Returns by Citizens UK, including the use of pain free restraint, independent oversight of enforced removals, and a more robust system for licensing of the staff involved in such removals should and could be implemented by Government quickly. In addition, as soon as the current contract permits, these contracts should be returned to the public sector to allow for great accountability. These operations are being done in our name, and must be done by treating people with respect and maintaining their dignity.

Now Hold Them To Account!

People of Medway have voted strongly for UKIP in the local elections. By returning 41.7% of cast votes in Medway for this party, voters have contributed strongly towards UKIP securing 4 MEPs in the South East Region. I hope that on behalf of these voters, the actions, inactions and statements of these representatives will be reported by your paper so that they can be held accountable for their representation or otherwise.

Thank you Medway

Medway LibDems and like-minded residents of the Medway Towns remained steadfast and, having cast their votes in accordance with their firmly held beliefs as to what is best (though not perfect) for Britain, have every reason to feel proud.
