What we witnessed last week is the Glasgow I am proud to be part of and is the Glasgow I am proud to represent and fight for.
IN the wake of the British Government forcing through its inhumane Rwanda plan, Glasgow finds itself at a pivotal moment once again reflecting on our values of compassion and solidarity in the face of an abhorrent piece of legislation.
It is these very callous acts of the Home Office, from the dawn raids to the Rwanda plan, that have galvanised a generation of activists and culture of migrant solidarity in Glasgow that will not allow our communities to be torn apart.
A few days later, protesters gathered outside a Glasgow immigration reporting centre after reports that people were detained under the Rwanda scheme. The message from Glaswegians to the British Government is clear: asylum seekers are more than arbitrary numbers to bring down, they are our neighbours, friends, family and valued members of our community who are here to stay.
