Today in Perth, racists gathered to intimidate & insult asylum seekers at a hotel, for several states reasons, none of which of course explicitly mention race.
They were aggressive, some came around the back & side of our group as most people were focused towards the door of the hotel.

In Falkirk yesterday hundreds protested against what they’ve called ‘illegal’ immigrants.
Then we see a call to kill asylum seekers and the fascist salute. It’s almost as if it wasn’t about the law in the first place.
Anti-racist groups were vastly outnumbered. This is an emergency.

The very last leg of my fieldwork: I’m looking to interview refugees or asylum seekers who live, or have lived, in the Scottish Highlands and Islands region (see attached poster). All details of the research available in Arabic. Please share this far and wide… preferably towards the North!

For my PhD fieldwork: I'm looking for NGO or third sector workers who've had experience or with refugees or asylum seekers from Arab States in Scotland. Those here who have contacts in Scotland - please share, if you can!

Photo City: How Images Shape the Urban World is a wonderful exhibition at Dundee’s V&A Museum.
However one object label presents a genocide-denial narrative about the ongoing slaughter in #Gaza.
