The moment Edinburgh locals join in mass sing-a-long at protest against Rwanda flight

Dozens of Edinburgh locals gathered outside the UK Government building on Tuesday night to protest the attempted passage of refugees to Rwanda.

A flight was due to take off at 10.30pm in Wiltshire on Tuesday, June 14, reportedly with seven refugees onboard, due to be transported to Rwanda instead of being able to seek refuge in the UK.

The plan, announced back in April, has led to outrage amongst UK residents, while Home Secretary Priti Patel, backed the notion and was left "disappointed" when the flight did not take off, due to a late intervention by the European Court of Human Rights.
