THOUSANDS of people will march in solidarity with refugees today after Tory PM David Cameron sealed an EU deal with Turkey that would see refugees expelled from Europe.

Protesters will assemble outside BBC offices in central London at noon — followed by a Trafalgar Square rally — to condemn the “racist offensive pushed by some politicians and press” with demos also held across the country.

EU leaders agreed with Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu that migrants could be sent back to Turkey on a one-in one-out basis as soon as tomorrow under the new proposals.

As the Star reported yesterday, the plans would see refugees who have made the perilous journey across the Med to Greece returned to Turkey if their asylum claim is rejected. And Europe will take in one Syrian refugee — capped at 72,000 — from camps in Turkey for every migrant returned there.

European Council president Donald Tusk insisted that there would be no “collective expulsions.” Turkey stands to receive £4.7 billion from the EU, which is double what it was offered last year.

Mr Cameron has claimed that the deal would not involve Britain adding to its “target” of taking in 20,000 refugees from camps over five years.

Around 75 million Turkish nationals could also get visa-free access to the EU’s Schengen border-free area, which does not include Britain.

Speakers at today’s demonstration include Labour MP Diane Abbott, Greens MPs, Unite equalities officer Harish Patel, Muslim Council of Britain spokesman Talha Ahmad, Black Activists Rising Against Cuts co-chair Zita Holbourne and Stand Up to Racism organisers Sabby Dhalu and Weyman Bennett.

Actor Vanessa Redgrave and children’s author Michael Rosen are also expected to attend.

Green MEP Jean Lambert and the party’s immigration spokeswoman will attend the protest to call out the government on its failure to challenge myths about asylum and migration.

She will say: “The UK is one of the world’s richest countries and must do more. We can start by taking the children from Calais who have a right to be in the UK — not arguing with the courts about their future.”

• The Refugees Welcome Here demonstration assembles 12 noon, Portland Place, London, W1A 1AA which will be followed by march to and rally in Trafalgar Square.
