Posting this for the 100th time because people still don’t get it.

Glasgow is not being forced to house thousands of asylum seekers because London says so, Cities and towns can limit numbers or opt out entirely and many do. Glasgow chooses not to.

Immigration policy is reserved to Westminster, that’s true. But the decision to take huge numbers of asylum seekers is local, and Glasgow has volunteered for it.

Fifteen years ago it worked. The last ten? Not so much. Numbers have exploded. The council is now running out of accommodation, services are buckling, and the cost to Glasgow taxpayers is running into millions.

Glasgow hosts the largest number of Home Office-supported asylum seekers of any UK local authority around 3,600 3,800 people. That’s roughly 6% of the entire UK supported asylum population, while Glasgow has just 1% of the UK’s population.

Why so many? Because in 1999 Glasgow voluntarily joined the dispersal scheme (when numbers were tiny) and never looked back. Under the last ten years of SNP leadership, it proudly branded itself a “sanctuary city,” actively signing up for more placements than almost anywhere else.

This isn’t Holyrood or Westminster forcing Glasgow’s hand. Other councils limit or refuse. Glasgow keeps saying yes and keeps taking the largest share.
The result? Overstretched hotels, worsening housing shortages, strained services, and growing protests over safety and integration.
Glasgow doesn’t have to do this. It chooses to. And the people of Glasgow are now paying the price.

Short-lived ex-UK PM Lizz Truss: "Unless we get a grip... the West will be finished in ten years."

"Whether it's excessive government spending... Net Zero ideology... things like DEI and ESG... all of these things have conspired to hollow out our countries."

Do you think she's right?

Why are some people more outraged by @elonmusk commenting on the state of the UK than they are by the mass rape of a quarter of a million British children?
