We know from hard experience that the neo-Thatcherite policies of Labour and the Tories south of the border will never deliver that for Scotland, and Westminster has played every trick in the book to stop the Scottish Parliament delivering to the Scottish people what we really need.
“May Every Parish… Every Sanctuary of Europe, Take In One Family.”
These people are not the “Christian Syrians” that the EU would prefer to welcome, but Muslim families fleeing the horror of war in their country, and these people will be joining other Syrian refugees already welcomed to sanctuary in the Vatican.
