EVERY decent person in Scotland will have rejoiced at the wonderful scenes on the southside of Glasgow on Thursday. As British Home Office officials (acting on the instructions of poisonous, far-right Home Secretary Priti Patel) attempted to drag two asylum seekers from their home, local people came onto the streets in their hundreds to successfully prevent the men’s removal. It was certainly a day for celebration for everyone in the Scottish anti-racist and labour movements who have long fought to put into action Robert Burns’s dream of international equality and solidarity. There was, however, one notable Scot who was not for rejoicing. “Immigration and Asylum are UK government matters”, the outraged politician opined via Twitter.
