I think this quote from the Council speaks volumes.

Certain online agitators wanting to stand outside a school because the family education services being offered includes Asylum Seekers too.

Protest at Glasgow school over plan to hold English lessons for asylum seekers PARENTS are to stage a protest outside a Glasgow primary school over plans to hold English lessons for asylum seekers during class times.

Dalmarnock Primary's been offering family learning for years.

It's sad *some* parents are boycotting a school cause asylum seeker families get that support too via ESOL.

Funny how certain folk never raised PVG concerns for other family learning on offer...

Glasgow's Vistor Levy Forum will have both Community & Worker voices sitting on it after Green amendments agreed unanimously. ๐Ÿ’šโœŠ๏ธ

This will help balance the voices from big business who sit on the forum, to make sure investment focuses on people who live and work in Glasgow too ๐Ÿ˜

Tonight we have the chance to qualify for our first World Cup since 1998. It could be spectacular.

And every single group game has been shown live on free-to-view TV.

Our national team is for all of us. It should never return to being hidden behind a paywall.

Saying Sharia Law is running the show in the City Centre thanks to Asylum Seekers & legal immigrants does skud all to build pride in our communities with everyone who can make them if we build a system that actually supports folk given leave & those seeking asylum, Cllr Dempsey.

Itโ€™s by the UK Government actually making a system that supports, not segregates, asylum seekers away from communities & employment so that they are able to be fully involved members of their new communities like everyone else. 

That builds pride. โ€œ
