Glaswegians block immigration raid on their neighbours

[Ax^]

fair play Glasgow fair play

 

[existentialist]

I am reminded of the power the Scottish anti-Poll Tax demonstrators wielded during that sorry episode in our history, too.

I'm glad that at least one part of the (un)United Kingdom has been able to show Westminster that their power is not absolute. Again.

Exactly my point.

 

[weepiper]

Glasgow absolutely not having any of this shit.

 

[Serge Forward]

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

You balloon. The police were there to protect the immigration so they were supporting it. They only let them out because no other option. You are full of ideology, all shite.

 

[Voley]

Brilliant stuff, Glasgow.

It is your ideology that is misleading you. Scotland is not England. See Nicola Sturgeon's tweets.

It is simple fact that Police Scotland do not assist removals while English police forces tend to. Stick that in your ideological pipe.

wish Nicola Sturgeon was our PM.

Great showing of solidarity.

 

[Dystopiary]

Fantastic to see this much support and solidarity. What a wonderful community!




Seriously, ignore the troll, don't let them derail this wonderful thread.

 

[dessiato]

I've been thinking of moving back to the UK. Glasgow is now on my list of places to move to. This is a wonderful response by the people, and Sturgeon. I'm not normally a fan of politicians, but she seems decent, especially compared to the current Tory charlatans.

I bet Border Reiver is a right laugh at parties

And you should be pleased that I'm expressing such positive sentiments .

Why make friends with people who make ad hominem empty posts?

 

[Voley]

It is simple fact that Police Scotland fo not assist removals while English police forces tend to. Stick that in your ufeologica

That's almost interesting. But, as I've not even mentioned the police, entirely irrelevant.

Stick that up your Ufologist.

 

[tonysingh]

I like how a positive story like this has descended into a row between Urbs. It's just....it's peak Urban.

Happening now.

FFS, just devolve immigration already

Wonderful action.

Why post here at all & under such an odd username? Are you part of an English/Scots gang that raids English/Scots & nicks all their stuff? Or had you just read a book or something?

The police were mentioned by someone else. I was responding.

I stay in the borders, north side.

 

[Border Reiver]

Wonderful action.

BBC error. The police said that they were not there to help the home office but just go keep the peace. That is Police Scotland policy. This has happened before without hitting the national news.

 

[Clair De Lune]

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

Ah see, now we're all smiling. Happy days.

 

[bimble]

i might have something in my eye.
So how come Glasgow can get this brilliant thing together when other cities can't?

 

[danny la rouge]

I arrived late afternoon. Many people had been there all day. The atmosphere was amazing. I stood next to a women with three children for a short while. She explained to them what had happened.

"The polis wanted to send these men abroad, but the people y Pollokshields said. 'Nup. No' happening.'"

I gave her an approving smile, but had a bit of a lump in my throat so didn't speak.
