5th July 2008. London Fete held an anti-G8 solidarity action in Croydon, London. They focused on border control and immigration. Globalisation has created huge movements of people, however, only those deemed worthy under the eyes of the capitalist state find it easy to settle in their country of choice. For the poor and vulnerable freedom of movement is severely restricted. Rich nations, like those within the G8, abhor those who cannot bring further wealth into the capitalist economy. The poor and vulnerable who dare try and seek a better life are often treated no better than dogs. And they soon discover that a tin of baked beans are bestowed more rights to enter a country than themselves. No Nations, No Borders, No G8!
