Family ties

Ministers have been urged to allow child refugees to sponsor their close families members to join them in the UK. The SNP’S Angus Brendan Macneil wants to introduce legislation enabling people who arrived in Britain as a child to be able to support applications for their relatives to settle with them.

Utterly irresponsible, it will simply encourage refugees to hand their kids over to people smugglers, in the hope of getting them into the UK.

I assume that their “Named Person” will have to make the application on their behalf as they are too young to be trusted with life decisions by the Scottish Goverment.

Weary Cynic

It will just encourage more asylum seekers to come. When we have a housing crisis and public services are stretched trying to meet the demands of the people already here, seems mad.

Reality Checker

All this on the day an 18-yearold “refugee” is convicted of trying to slaughter a train load of people in England.

How about this as an original idea,why not look after our own citizens (Uk),instead of looking for potential Nat voters further down the road!

Such empathy for people living in conditions that we can’t even begin to imagine.
