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.

thank you Kelvin for your comments. The scenes were heartening, that a community valued the men and were determined that they should be treated fairly and heard from. Gave me a little glimmer of hope, but then thats Scotland, here in Blue heaven, may not go that way, I am 84 now and have never felt so despondent, maybe the lockdown, I am not confident so a real ray of light from Pollockshields

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

Sliding Doors
Enjoyed watching the film Sliding Doors tonight. Gwyneth Paltow was certainly more believable as a London based PR woman than might have been expected. It strikes me that the film is a post-modern take on the whole Jekyll and Hyde thing, except that instead of seeing a character change (or a double character develop as…

Sermon – 21 August 2005
This morning, one of Scotland?s church leaders is quoted in the papers as saying this. ‘?They? (and he is talking about radical Islamists) have been welcomed as brothers and have treated us as enemies. If we are their enemies they should have nothing to do with us, but they don?t. They speak out against us…

Bloggers' Box
I’ve added a new box on the left hand menu for links to Scottish Episcopal Bloggers. I claim to be the Mother of All Scottish Episcopal Bloggers having started two years ago. Anyone want to dispute that claim?
