Local people foiled yesterday’s attempt by immigration enforcers; next time they will come at night in an unmarked van. We have no chance of improving the immigration system in what you call “this country”, meaning the UK. When Scotland becomes independent, we will be able to have our own immigration policy, which will be fair, just and compassionate, in line with Christian values, and with the views of most Scottish people. Don’t you agree?

No, I don’t agree. I think that the current policy is unjust and unfair and is just as unjust if it is applied in Carlisle as in Glasgow. The whole country needs a better system, not just Scotland.
I find the idea of a country set up on “Christian” values quite chilling.
If we do have a new country, it needs to have a secular constitution not a Christian one.

However, the people south of Carlisle have already indicated what sort of government they want and it is very different to what the majority of Scottish people consistently vote for. The only way we will get a fairer system is in an independent Scotland with your secular constitution.

We have no idea what the immigration policy of a Tory government would be in an independent Scotland.

On the contrary, us folk south of Carlisle have been saddled with a government the majority of us don’t like by the defects of our electoral system and the machinations of a far-right anti-EU obsessive so-called politician.

Hurrah for Pollokshields. We need more of that sort of thing- all over the UK.

Health Update
Thank you to those who have been enquiring about my health. Here’s the current bulletin. I saw my doctor yesterday and we agreed that although I’m improved, I’m not recovered from the flu yet. I am ever more convinced that real flu (Not “man flu”, not “a bit fluey”, not “I had the flu yesterday”…

What gives you hope?
Although a little better today, I’m still not up to taking meetings and services and so others are filling in left right and centre and I’m most grateful to everyone. Monday evening is an example – the LGBT group will still be meeting but will be led by one of its members rather than by…

Hermano David | Brother Dah•veed has asked me a question in a different place but I’m moving it here to a separate post for easier linking. David asks: Could you Scottish Piskies assist me in a matter concerning your church? On another blog someone has asserted that all churches of the Anglican Communion are the…
