Wayne : 'I am just thinking how with all the ups and downs of our trip trying to become a real family together in a foreign country: France, Belgium , Holland. In our case moving from a lovely old farm house in the French countryside to travelling around the EU in our campervan. I hope with all we have learnt along the way we can help many others the future. If you missed it our video blog Wayne & Daisy Freedom of Movement on YouTube some funny moments some extremely worrying times. Good luck and ask us anything in future. '

https://twitter.com/DetentionAction :
'We are deeply saddened by the High Court decision to refuse to release the hunger striker from immigration detention. We are very worried.
Isa came to the UK fearing for his life, it's heart breaking that he may die on a mattress on the floor of an immigration detention centre.'

https://twitter.com/EiriOhtani :
'Home Office can choose life. But is choosing death for this man in #detention centre by not releasing him. '
