Activists Circulate Guide on How to Ground ‘One In, One Out’ Flights
Pro-migrant campaigners have circulated a guide on how to ground ‘one in, one out’ flights, telling activists how to contact Air France and prevent the planes from taking off. The Telegraph has the story.
Sir Keir Starmer’s flagship deal with France was thrown into disarray on Tuesday night when the High Court blocked the deportation of an Eritrean migrant.
The 25 year-old had been scheduled for deportation on a flight at 9am on Wednesday, but lawyers warned that he could be left “destitute” in France.
The human rights claim – the first challenge to reach court over the deal – comes after two deportation flights failed to go ahead on Monday and Tuesday following legal challenges and protests by pro-migrant groups.
The Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants (JCWI) has been spearheading efforts to scupper the flights operated by Air France, encouraging the public to put pressure on the commercial airline.
Under the Home Office plans, migrants are to be sent to France in smaller groups on commercial flights rather than on one chartered flight.
A guide circulated by JCWI on social media included detailed instructions and a script to apply pressure to Air France by phone, email or social media.
“Please contact Air France urgently to tell them to stop the flight: they do not need to be – and should not – be complicit in this violence,” the guide states.
It sets out the relevant phone numbers for people to call and advises participants to press one for English, two for French and then wait for the hold music before being put through to an agent.
A script is offered, which reads: “There are multiple people on flights from the UK to France next week who are being removed from this country against their will.
“Their removal is cruel. They came to Britain seeking safety, and none of them have had the chance to receive protection in the UK.
“Their deportations are wrong and should not be happening.
“The pilot does not have to fly them on their plane, it is within the airline and pilot’s rights to refuse to fly people being deported on their plane.”
The guide encourages the caller to insist on speaking to senior people such as the “chief pilot, flight supervisor, anyone with power to stop the flight” out of concern for the welfare of the passengers on the flight, and not disclose it is regarding a deportation “until necessary”.

Probably leaked from Hermer’s office.
They needn’t bother – the scheme will most likely fizzle out anyway and make no real difference.
Quite, it was a nonsense from the start.
Actually, it would be better if it did fizzle out, it’s one fig leaf less for sir kneel.
Yes – especially as Kneeler-the-Contemptible’s class has put in place a whole legal structure designed to make deportations of undesirable elements impossible.
Maybe it’s useful for Labour as part of the theatre we’re supposed to believe, that they are trying to address the problem.
Pro-migrant campaigners
They don’t support a managed immigration system that could have the support of the people. Instead they are supporters of the mass mad unlimited unvetted immigration which the Establishment has created in order to replace us. As such they – and the Establishment – are the enemy of society and our people.
The Chief Exec of the JCWI is originally from Bangladesh, actually. I totally expected the gaffer to be another white person. Bound to be loads of white socialist oikophobes on board with this charity, though;

What a performance. And did anyone even buy into this obvious charade in the first place? ”Absolutely nothing is going right for UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer at the moment. Least of all his “groundbreaking” ‘one in, one out’ migration deal with France, which has actually yet to get off the ground at all. After ‘deportation flights’ took off on Monday and Tuesday without any migrants on board, thanks to last-minute legal challenges that again showed why Britain must ditch the ECHR for good, the High Court blocked the deportation of an asylum seeker to France. Not that this will bother Starmer too much, for whom Migration Watch chairman Alp Mehmet said the “pointless but costly” scheme was never really about securing Britain’s borders. He told europeanconservative.com: This was never about fixing the problem, only about schmoozing Paris and the EU.£100 million [€115.25 million] of our money wasted so that Sir Keir Starmer can cosy up to M. Macron. It’s a disgrace. Mehmet added that at best, “the odd migrant may go back, but it won’t deter anyone.” David Wood, former director general of immigration enforcement, also told Telegraph that further such legal claims will likely mean “the Home Office [will not] get any flights off… Read more »
Makes you wonder what the next census will reveal, really;
”The last four decades have seen a collapse in the White British populations of London, Birmingham and Manchester – falls of over 30% in some boroughs.”

For “pro-migrant” read “anti-British”.
…in spades.
If it is so inhumane for people to go to France, the activists should be getting everyone off the plane?
Usual pack of Far Left lies. ‘Violence’ – what violence? They are just being put on a plane. Violence would be giving them a beating with rubber truncheons.
‘Came here for safety’ Yeah, right. They came here to leech off the British taxpayers.
Yawn…..did anyone ever think it would be successful? A bit like Rwanda. A load of money for sweet fa and the good old Brit public, in general, is ever hopeful
Left destitute in France. Does this imply that the support given to asylum seekers in France is not the same as in the UK? If not then why?
Surely it is implicit that the blocking of this deportation, on the grounds that he will be left destitute in France, is recognition that states are interpreting their obligations wrt human rights in significantly different ways. Consequently the Refugee convention protocol (1967) is invalid and requires revision or abolition.
It was never going to work. It was just performative pantomime from Two-Tier and Macron.
