A final post for Burn's night. Despite being written over 200 years ago, much of Burns' work remains relevant today, and examples of it can be found it all sorts of places around Glasgow.

What’s going on inside the ICE camps nobody’s allowed to see into…
They’re literally executing civilians in the street on video and arguing the opposite of what everyone can see happened.
At this point I dread to think what’s going to be uncovered at these places.

Once again tapping my sign: ICE exist in the UK 🚨 They have had arrest powers since 2000. This government - not a hypothetical future one - is working harder than ever before to raid homes and businesses.
Immigration Enforcement raids at the highest level in UK history
Record number of arrests and raids of illegal workers across the UK including 187 raids in Northern Ireland leading to 234 arrests.

And it’s not a marriage. It’s a bus journey. You don’t refuse to get on the number 185 because it doesn’t stop exactly at your final destination; you get ON the 185 because it gets you closer to your final destination than standing stubbornly at the bus stop because “it’s not EXACTLY the bus I want”

Exactly 👍 If the Scottish Parliament loses pro-independence Party seats, Westminster-controlled unionist parties will have a field day rolling back progressive policies that benefit people in Scotland and which expose Westminster’s failures.
