Brent Committee to Defend Asylum Seekers
The B&HGP banner was one of several Green Party banners at the national demo to defend asylum seekers in July 2000 and B&HGP supports the local Brent campaign which has organised leaflettings of local supermarkets against the discriminatory voucher system which many asylum seekers are forced to use to obtain food and some other necessities. Successful leaflettings have taken place at Kilburn Sainsbury's, Somerfield in Willesden and Iceland in Harlesden.

Artificial Water Fluoridation in London
The government is hoping to 'legally oblige' water authorities in London and several other target areas to add artificial fluoride to water supplies. We believe that this poses a serious threat to health as well as being an infringement on our right to receive safe water. See further details and links on fluoridation and some photos.
In October 1999, we held an open meeting, with Jane Jones, campaigns director for the National Pure Water Association speaking. See the press release.
