Demonstration in Glasgow against deportation of refugees and asylum

seekers. Just days before this the Vucaj family had been deported.

They had lived in Glasgow for 5 years. Saida Vacaj came to Scotland

as an 8 year old, now 13 and with a strong Glasgow accent she finds

herself thrown out of her home, and deported to Albania, a country of

which she knows little about. Despite a campaign by her school

friends, her teachers, a major Glasgow charity and the whole

community in which the family lived, and indeed despite our own First

Minister expressing his "profound concern" about "scandalous

immigration practices", Westminster continued with it's deportation.

I guess this is what 'getting tough on asylum' really means.
