How many people are in the van?

Absolutely stunning community spirit there. Genuinely moving.

There's two guys in the van apparently.

Police horses on Darnley Street heading towards Kenmure Street where the protest is taking place.

Think global act local..... After a move by police to stop protestors trying to stop arrests.....

Am I right in thinking that the Home Office just gave up trying to do raids in Glasgow for a number of years? Does anyone have a source on that/know when they started trying again?

Supplies being donated by local shops for those on the protest

No Evictions Network say three arrests already, more and more police turning up:


Although you'd think that if they do form a total kettle, that wouldn't really help move the van?

Well done Pollockshields. Absolutely filled with emotion for the solidarity on show. Glasgow’s Southside is the beating heart of the revolution after all. (A comrade of mine has always said so).

And all this is why I fuckin love Glasgow ❤

Mutual aid and community in action. Nice to see.

Police Scotland say that they take no part in removals and merely attend to stop any breach of the peace.

If that was the case, they'd have nicked the cunts from immigration who caused all the mither in the first place.

How odd, it's almost as if sometimes the things the police say aren't entirely reliable.

I’m heading down there now.

Do feel free to provide evidence of Police Scotland assisting with removals. Policy on the matter is set by the Scottish Government. I know that they refused to assist with legal evictions for asylum seekers refused permission to stay.

Sad that you do not understand the law.

Here you go, happy to help.

Oh, I understand it alright, and what side it's on.

Your tedious pettifoggery is extraneous at the best of times but looks particularly limp on a thread celebrating such a fantastic piece of direct community solidarity as this.
