Really pleased to see the firm’s pro bono work for the Tamils trapped on Diego Garcia has been recognised by being shortlisted for the pro bono category in the Herald Law Awards of Scotland 2022. @mcglashanmackay#heraldlawawards2022
The ability of @KeithBrownSNP and @AshtenRegan to just ignore this completely is almost impressive. Their absolute commitment to pretending it’s not happening is really something else. I’ve never seen anything like it.
BRB, just off to shut down the office, get a magnifying glass and notepad, and a ferry to Calais, to em, tackle traffickers. Not sure what locus I’d have to turn up and start arresting people but worth a go eh!
Are the Home Office aware of the mental torture of keeping claimants waiting 10 months or more after an interview, for their asylum decision? Waking up every day to check the mail in the vain hope of a decision. It’s awful.
Struck, at this time, by a memory of the very kind, retired lady who took in an Eritrean asylum seeker client of mine, and so lost her single person discount on her council tax.

In just over a week I’ll be riding 106km around Loch Ness, taking part in the étape Loch Ness and raising funds for #TeamMacmillan - any sponsorship gratefully received! https://t.co/EVkNZHsbHm #etapelochness
Did the Home Office intend to remove these men to India? During this time of Covid? If not why were they detaining them at all, with no prospect of removal? Thanks @kapaterson for shining a light on this.
I think it's important that we take this moment to think about what work still needs done in the Scottish justice system. I'm here for this discussion. https://t.co/odS6i8uOlH

Working from home: Growing increasingly alarmed by the alarm sound, @AnnaMacKay17 checked the cars outside, but it was coming from my phone. I asked my client “is that a fire alarm going off where you are? Are you ok?”
“Don’t worry MacKay...it’s my eggs”said the Interpreter.
@princess_missy_ My experience is that if they do see them 99% of the time they say they're absolutely fine anyway so still of zero assistance. I instruct Dr Ramsay don't know if you use her but she's very helpful.
