Dan, in your comment you say:

'I think many of these people adopt a 'not in my back yard' policy regarding failed asylum seekers. In other words, their attitudes would be very different if they lived in communities in London and other large cities'

I'd quickly like to point something out; I live in Stockwell in South London, and thats me on the far left of the photo at the top of the page. I was out all night supporting the 'Still Here: Still Human' Campaign. And incase you need enlightening, Stockwell isn't leafy middle-class Notting Hill or Dulwich, its amoung the poorest, most troubled and racially diverse parts of London. So in future don't assume to know anything about 'these people.'

One final point. At home I've worked alongside people who have been granted asylum and I've helped people that have been denied it, and guess what... (this might shock you) they are actually human beings like me and you.
