Wednesday's protest in Glasgow against the planned eviction of around 300 immigrants was very well supported. Several hundred people turned up with an array of banners and home-made placards, showing their anger at the government's policy being carried out by the money grabbing Serco. Glasgow already has a problem with homelessness, to callously throw another 300 individuals on to the street, is not just inhumane, it is criminal.
The protest continues, today, Wednesday August 1st. the protest shifts to:
365 Paisley Road WestG51 1LX Glasgow, United Kingdom
12:00-13:30.
I'm sure the people of Glasgow can provide more support today and improve on the grand figure of hundreds that turned up yesterday evening.
