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.

Theology Cards
I stumbled across a series of “theology cards” on http://disseminary.org/ which are just the kind of thing that makes me thankful for the web. It adds so much spice to life. I like the Tertullian one best – http://disseminary.org/hoopoe/pubs/cards/Tertullian1.pdf – Tertullian looks wonderfully grumpy you can imagine him growling… “What has Athens to do with Jerusalem?”(We do…

High Mass
One bright spot in an otherwise rather bleak week at work was to be asked to celebrate a big High Mass for Affirming Catholicism (Scotland) in the summer. It is one of those excellent organisations which I have never quite got round to joining, so is very sweet of them to ask me to join in. (Or perhaps they…

BBC v Government
So, when faced with the choice, whom do I trust more, the BBC or the Labour Govenment.The BBC wins that question hands down.It is terribly sad that there should have been so much fallout from three words (“government probably knew”) broadcast at six in the morning.
