Dungavel Immigration Removing Centre has not been welcome in Scotland because it was foisted upon us by the House Workplace in 2001.
The detention of susceptible asylum seekers who've doubtless been subjected to torture and violence is inhumane.
And it's much more appalling that 38 underneath 18-year-olds have been held there because the detention of kids was outlawed in 2010.
5 pregnant ladies have been held there since 2018, their infants put in danger by elevated trauma and stress.
Final November an inspectorate report mentioned it was “involved” Dungavel females had been being held beside “a number of males with a historical past of sexual violence in opposition to ladies.”
And now we all know kids had been additionally being held in the identical areas as predatory and violent intercourse offenders awaiting deportation.
It's inconceivable to successfully imprison harmless kids underneath any circumstances, by no means thoughts alongside violent offenders, together with rapists.
For kids who've suffered a lot earlier than they even reached our shores to then be held like criminals is abhorrent.
It's terrifying for a kid to be locked up in an odd place, remoted from different kids and any sense of group.
Pregnant asylum seekers have been so careworn that some have miscarried.
The Tory UK Authorities must be ashamed for its callous hostile immigration system which demonises individuals who have sought security in our nation.
Dungavel ought to by no means have opened and its closure is lengthy overdue.
Rescue mission was staff effort
Rod Stewart did a nice factor paying for vehicles to take very important provides to assist refugees on the Poland- Ukraine border.
The veteran rocker didn’t hesitate in funding a mercy mission when his nephew mentioned he wished to assist.
Rod dug deep and made positive it occurred.
However the nice man is correct to show the highlight on Warren Cady and the opposite seven volunteers who made positive the help acquired there earlier than bringing individuals to security.
These persons are actual heroes.
There have been many related tales of individuals from throughout the UK who've been stirred into motion by the horror of Vladimir Putin’s unforgivable battle in opposition to a peaceable nation.
They've put themselves in danger, given their money and time, to assist the harmless victims of battle.
Their humanity, decency and kindness are an instance to us all.
