I strongly oppose the expansion of Campsfield detention centre. I do not agree with the practice of detention; I do not believe it is cheap or effective and certainly not in the long term. I do not feel comfortable with the way the government has sidelined the views of the local people. I do not think a detention centre expanding contrary to the local people’s views has any promising chance of success. The new prime minister claims to believe in decentralised power - so what is this?
