@gormley_alexa @AgentP22 @GOVUK Here in Scotland we give refugees the right to vote while the UK government is deporting them to Rwanda.
Humanity is what we ask for, the UK used to have values, now we are left with inhumane, xenophobic and despicable policies towards refugees.
If not Independence then what?

@Peteonone @Corrupttotheco2 I see, it’s a french problem that this UK government has closed all the safe routes for asylum seekers to reach the UK.
Far from turning a blind eye, they patrol and patrol at great cost and are asking the UK government to fulfil its international obligations towards refugees.

@gormley_alexa @AgentP22 @GOVUK I’ve no idea where you got that from my tweets but I understand why you would want to move on.
We made it clear that in an Independent Scotland we will respect asylum seekers and refugees as the UK used to and in accordance with international law as per Michael Bond’s wishes:

@gormley_alexa @AgentP22 @GOVUK Your opinion is noted, you are telling me that the UK government is wisely dealing with asylum seekers by sending them to Rwanda.
If you want to defend this policy, go ahead but note that you are moving as far away as one can from the British values that we all cherished.

@Corrupttotheco2 Which of these British values are not under attack by the present UK government?

•Democracy
•The rule of law
•Individual liberty
•Mutual respect
•Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs

You tell me.

@Corrupttotheco2 @Peteonone They could and many do, huge numbers, a lot more than the number trying to get into the UK.
But they don’t because they don’t want to.
They want to exercise their human right to claim asylum in the UK.
The UK government closed every safe route for them to come, what would you do?

@Corrupttotheco2 @Peteonone Yes, just like in the UK. Last time I did it was in North Berwick with my grandchildren, no immigration officers in sight and we weren’t the only ones on dinghies without passports.
Sometimes right wing populist propaganda makes folk loosing all common sense…

@Corrupttotheco2 @Peteonone The asylum seekers want to claim asylum in the UK but all safe routes are closed, what are they meant to do?
The french authorities are dealing with asylum seekers seeking asylum in France, the UK should deal with asylum seekers seeking asylum in the UK, not Rwanda or France.

@Peteonone @Corrupttotheco2 Help them to do what? They want to cross the channel, do you want the french authorities to take them there?
There’s no laws to stop someone getting on a boat.

@gormley_alexa @AgentP22 I was at a civic reception about it before our own lord provost lit the beacon, I’ve since helped and participated to Big Lunch events over the weekend and finished off with a picnic on the park.
Let’s be honest, the cherished British values are no more, destroyed by @GOVUK.

@SteveSayersOne @Peteonone @MajorDMalpas @AgentP22 @scotgov Sure, why trying to defend the british values that we have already lost?
The UK is becoming darker than the darkest Peru.
I agree with Michael Bond, we must look after refugees.

@Peteonone @Haggisontoast @ToryglenRangers @putey_pute @thongme19672 @LancashireLad16 @AgentP22 It doesn’t matter how many safe countries they decided not to stay in, it didn’t matter during WW2 or thereafter, it shouldn’t matter today.
It is illegal to refuse to assess asylum seekers when and where they ask to be assessed, the UK government is breaking the law.

@Haggisontoast @ToryglenRangers @putey_pute @Peteonone @thongme19672 @LancashireLad16 @AgentP22 They are not assessed here.
They are sent to Rwanda for assessment.
They have no chance to be welcomed in the UK whatever their assessment is successful of not.
This is inhumane, xenophobic and despicable and contrary to the British values you and I cherish.

@Corrupttotheco2 @Peteonone I’m not happy with that, the UK must reopen the route for refugees to claim asylum at our door.
The french are not happy with that and they have asked the UK government to process them when they reach the border.
Instead, the UK is sending them to Rwanda, are you happy with that?

@Haggisontoast @Peteonone @ToryglenRangers @putey_pute @thongme19672 @LancashireLad16 @AgentP22 He’s from Peru but the message from the author is clear, please look after refugees and we’re not, the UK is not, this government is sending them to Rwanda instead.
If not Independence then what?
