Law Over 15,000 people joined the national demonstration against the Tory government's new racialist Nationality Bill last Sunday.
The demonstration, organised by the Campaign Against Racist Laws, took place at a time when even official figures confirm that discrimination by employers against ethnic minority groups is getting worse.
A new survey shows that unemployment among racial minorities has risen by an astounding 82% in the last year-more than double the national average increase.
An estimated 1 in 5 black workers are now without a job as against an overall average figure of 1 in 10.
For the Tories. the Nationality Bill offers an opportunity to rekindle racist fires and further restrict the rights of ethnic minorities in Britain and British citizens overseas.
