Glaswegians block immigration raid on their neighbours

[littlebabyjesus]

Anyway, ignoring BR, well done Glaswegians. Lovely job.

Not before this happened you absolute clown. The only reason I can see that the police have agreed to the men being moved to a local mosque is people power.

They could have supported the goons. You are the female orifice.

 

[Clair De Lune]

I see you have problems dealing with real life. Rather sad.

I'm sad that you're sad when you could be happy.

They were supporting the Home Office people, up until they realised it was a lost cause.

 

[Border Reiver]

Whatever could have prompted them to take that course of action? it's a complete mystery!

Discussions on priorities of policing with the Scottish Government. They have repeatedly refused to assist with immigration detentions. This is not new policy.

This action is brilliant. Solidarity.

I feel justified in my comments above about Police Scotland.

It's not often I say this, but fuck off. This is the wrong time and place.

You are rather sad. I am amused by your ignorance.

These guys played a big role in organising and supporting this

The officer commanding cast his eye across the determined crowd and thought, this brings to mind discussions on police priorities at Holyrood. I should stop responding as it's only encouraging you, and will.

This is the time to praise good policing. They could have acted otherwise.

Priorities are set by the Scottish Government. Police Scotland have refused to take part in removals.

If that was your intention it was not clear in your earlier posts.

Be interesting to hear what BJ and PP have to say about it all.

Nah it really won't be. I am gonna hold onto the glow that Glasgow has delivered today for as long as possible. The piranha and the clown can get to fuck.

If they had any sense they'd say nowt. It's for Sturgeon to comment, not them.
Of course, if either of those two actually had an ounce of sense between them, we might have noticed it before now.

It will be "officers and immigration officials under attack for doing their job this is unacceptable......"

Said it before, I love this city with all its imperfections. Glasgow, my city, a class city.

Your problem, not mine. I called the immigration force goons. That should have been a hint.

 

[Border Reiver]

Nicola Sturgeon has made an interesting series of tweets on the matter.

 

[Serge Forward]

Border Reiver, can you not just accept the win for people power rather than turn it into praise for the dibble? Or must you continue with your whining prattle?

[blairsh]

Get the fuck in, Glasgow.

 

[danny la rouge]

Fucking stunning. This city is the best. What a rush to be there!

 

[JimW]

Just read the Sky News report and it's well seen that the nature of the action - neighbours looking out for neighbours - has affected the early spin: Glasgow immigration raid: Men detained by Home Office released after face off between police and protesters on Eid Expect we'll see the reverse ferretting soon enough but highlights the power of grassroots action, though not so much as the current outcome of course.

 

[glitch hiker]

This is a great result but surely the cops will just be back tomorrow. What happens in the long term?

I deal with reality not ideology. The police could have easily supported the removal. They did not because of Scottish policing policy.
