Santa tried to deliver £300 worth of gifts donated by several London churches for the estimated 35 children currently detained in the Yarl's Wood asylum detention centre. Accompanied by Rev’d Professor Nicholas Sagovsky, Canon Theologian at Westminster Abbey, they hoped to spread some measure of Xmas spirit to some 35 kids currently held there on a pre-arranged visit I understand.
The authorities who run Yarl’s Wood refused permission for Santa to enter the Centre to distribute the gifts to the children. Despite prior agreement for the authorities to accept the gifts, St Nicholas was met at the gates by a group of goons who barred his entry and ordered him to leave. They later called the police on Santa as he blessed the gifts!!!
I hope Santa puts them on their naughty list. Feck them, the mean gits.
