Commenting on Deputy Prime Minister and Liberal Democrat Leader Nick Clegg's statement that Yarl's Wood Immigration Removal Centre, where children are detained awaiting deportation, will be closed, Co-Chair of the Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Committee for Home Affairs and Justice, Tom Brake said:
Over the summer, Folkestone Film Factory is running a series of five-day film workshops for 8 to 15 year olds, in which they will get the chance to make their own film. Last summer saw the making of an apocalyptic disaster film, a zombie dance-off and a surrealist comic art film. Each workshop is limited to 10 places to ensure participants have the chance to try every aspect of film-making.
Kent Trading Standards have received reports of men selling shrink wrapped flat screen TV's from the back of a truck in the Folkestone and surrounding areas. Their information suggests that the sellers have no fixed address.
