Dear Friends,
PLEASE - please in the spirit of Christmas - help our friend and Hay Festival steward Otis by signing this petition or he will be deported on Christmas Day back to the DRC. Otis was dragged out of bed at 4am and is now at the Gatwick removal centre. 2 minutes now might save a life, and champion the decency and strength of our community. Please help.
Thank you,... Peter Florence
