As if the public weren’t disgusted enough with politicians claiming everything from a bath plug to cleaning their moat, politicians have stooped to a new low. Fifteen lowest of the low politicians CLAIMED BACK MONEY FOR REMEMBERANCE DAY WREATHS!

The despicable members of the Scottish Parliament, from SNP, Labour and Lib Dems, were shamed into repaying the claimed back money. The money was paid to Poppyscotland and the Lady Haig Poppy Factory for the wreaths which raise money for veterans.

The wreaths were hidden under the title “running costs” and when the expenses claims were exposed some MSP’s were reluctant to hand the cash back!

SNP MSP for Lothians, Angela Constance, claimed £17.80 and offered to pay back the money immediately – shame she didn’t think of making a personal donation from her £55,000 wages eh?

An SNP spokesperson initially said, “Members lay wreaths in their official capacity on behalf of the Scottish Parliament. As the parliament supports Poppyscotland, the cost can be met from parliament resources, and it is for each elected member to determine if they wish to reclaim the cost.”

But quickly realising the public outcry that would ensue, the party leadership intervened and ALL MSP’s were told to pay the money back to the veteran’s charities. The two charities, Poppyscotland and Lady Haig Poppy Factory, are the only ones that MSPs are allowed to claim back money for.

They then said, “SNP MSPs will either be reimbursing the money or making donations equal to the cost of the wreaths to Poppyscotland.”

SNP MSP’s who claimed back the money were;

Angela Constance (£17.80)

Alasdair Allan (£21.30)

Roseanna Cunningham (£63.90)

Michael Matheson (£63.90)

Stuart McMillan (£42.60)

Gil Paterson (£17.80)

John Wilson (£35.60).

ZaNuLabour MSP’s who claimed were;

Helen Eadie (£170.42)

Rhona Brankin (£42.60)

Trish Godman (£113.22)

Cathy Jamieson (£42.60)

Lib. Dems who claimed back the money were;

Robert Brown (£20.30)

Ross Finnie (£118.13)

Jamie Stone (£42)

Jim Tolson (£63.90)

The MSP’s decided to pay the money back to the parliament and a spokesperson claimed that MSP’s have a right to reclaim the money as they are representatives of the parliament.

A Labour spokesperson said, “MSPs lay wreaths on behalf of the Scottish Parliament. The money for the wreaths goes to Poppyscotland that funds care for veterans. Some MSPs have many remembrance ceremonies in their constituency and it has been traditional for the local parliamentarian to send a wreath for them.

“These funds have been claimed legitimately, but Labour members have decided to pay the money back to avoid any embarrassment to Poppyscotland.” You mean avoid any embarrassment to yourselves then.

Ms Rhona Brankin said: “While I have acted in accordance with Scottish Parliament rules, the last thing I would want to do is cause offence to the Scottish Poppy Appeal, the Royal British Legion or my constituents.”

A spokesperson for the Lib. Dems said, “The MSPs in question attended these important ceremonies in their official capacities but will, nonetheless, repay the amount claimed.”

The Tories and Greens didn’t claim back money for the Memorial Day wreaths but David Mundell did claim back the money before the ban on claiming back money for Memorial Day wreaths in 2004.
James Gray, Conservative, also tried to claim back money and complained he was “£60 out of pocket” after he had to buy three wreaths to lay in his constituency.

Most of the wreaths at the centre of the scandal come from the Lady Haig Poppy Factory which makes special wreaths for MSP’s. The wreaths have a purple centre to show that they have come from the Scottish parliament.

A newspaper in Scotland supported two Lib. Dems in their efforts to condemn the British National Party in Scotland for using THEIR OWN MONEY to buy Memorial Day wreaths and laying them at cenotaphs at ceremonies throughout Scotland.

The Dunfermline Press lambasted our party for supporting our armed forces that courageously fought and sacrificed their lives for our freedom from oppression. The lives that were generously given by all soldiers. From WWI to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, soldiers are still paying for our freedoms with their lives and like all decent people; we wanted to pay tribute to those courageous men and women who paid the price of their lives for us to live freely.

Not only did the British National Party in Scotland pay for the wreaths out of our own pocket but we also donated money to the worthwhile cause of helping those who still remain unlike those who pretend to pay tribute to those who have fallen by laying a wreath then go back to the office and fill out a claims form so they aren’t “out of pocket”.

When we say we support our armed forces – we mean it!

It has been reported today that a Scottish Labour MP is the latest to have had his snout in the trough creaming off the hard working people of this nations taxes.

This is still part of the ongoing disclosure of MPs expenses after a freedom of information act was successfully received by the Daily Telegraph.

The newspaper claims that Nigel Griffiths, who represents Edinburgh South, tried to claim £3,600 for a digital TV, DVD player and digital radio. Fortunately his snout was pushed out. Unfortunately many others feasted on YOUR tax money.

Nigel Griffiths MP, who was also a former deputy leader of the Commons, said, “As a Scottish MP, I can only keep in touch with events during the day, which might affect my constituents, by tuning into the Scottish radio stations which the digital set provides.”

He went on to say, “Likewise, I record the Scottish TV news and Scottish current affairs programmes, which feature issues in Scotland and in south Edinburgh. In a cramped London flat, flat-screen TV is the sensible option.”

The fees office informed Griffiths he was not to be allocated your tax money saying, “Whilst we understand your explanation for the need for the purchase of these items, it is the level of your purchases that remains under question. An amount of £3,604.99 is not considered to be an appropriate use of public funds when other more reasonably priced options are available.”

Mr Griffiths was instructed to contact the director of operations if he wanted to argue the matter further. He failed to do so.

Yet in November 2004 he still wangled £9,250 to redecorate the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom in his London flat, £220 for a carpet and £230 for pots and kitchen utensils.

Six months later he claimed again for redecoration and was reimbursed by the fees office for £4,911. Mr Griffiths redecorated a third time in 2006 and charged the taxpayer £3,310, which was approved.

Griffiths also said he bought the television to replace one he purchased in Edinburgh in 1983 and a DVD player to replace a 1986 video recorder.

“I mainly use (the items) to watch recordings of Scottish TV news programmes affecting my constituents. I also purchased a digital radio, again primarily for listening to BBC Radio Scotland and other stations carrying news of relevance to my constituents.

“I asked the fees office whether these items were refundable and was told to put the request in writing, which I did. The fees office came to the view that they were not eligible for funding. “

Mr Griffiths added that he had decided to redecorate after 14 years and the cost, mainly for labour, “was not exceptional”.

Really? No chances of you doing what the rest of US do? Roll up your sleeves and get a roller in your hand!

Not shy of controversy, Mr Griffiths was caught having an affair in one of the rooms in the House of Commons in March earlier this year.

Labour Caught With Their Trousers Down Again!

BNP Scotland’s news team have asked Scotland No3 Euro candidate, Deborah McKnight, her opinions on the recent barrage of smears on the British National Party.

This is what she had to say;

“In the run up to the EU elections there has been an all out war against the British National party. The attacks have been conducted by both the Media and other political parties. This anti-BNP message from the rest of the parties have been on their party political broadcasts which mention words like “fascists” and “extremists” in an attempt to scare the electorate away from voting for the ONLY real, true party of opposition, the British National Party.

It is amazing that these parties are only interested in bad mouthing the British National Party (whilst hiding their enormous failings) rather than doing what a political party is supposed to do, which is representing the people and trying to improve society.

The “old-gang parties” send out the message that if you don’t want to vote for them, vote for their “opposition” rather than vote for the British National Party.

ZaNuLabour Say “if you don’t want to vote for us, vote for the Tories rather than the BNP”.

The Tories say “if you don’t want to vote for us, vote for the Lib. Dhimmi’s rather than the BNP (‘cos we know the Lib. Dhimmi’s won’t win)”.

And guess what the SNP, UKIP and Lib. Dhimmi’s say? Yes, you guessed it! “Vote for anyone but the BNP!”

The British National Party say “make your own mind up. Look at all the parties’ policies. Look at their intentions. And ask yourself, do their policies represent your views?”

This should be like a big neon light to the electorate that clearly states that the British National Party are the only true opposition to these old gang parties.

This anti-BNP message also shows the clear contempt that politicians have for you (the taxpayer who pays their wages) and democracy. This also highlights that politicians are more interested in smear campaigns than informing the country of what their party can do for YOU, the people.

ZaNuLabour have joined up with anti-fascist organisations. These are the same organisations that are getting serious funding. But where from? Could it be ZaNuLabour are more interested in keeping the public purse within easy grasp?

Obviously scared at the support the British National Party has from the public, ZaNuLabour has dropped their old “Winning is the fight for Britain’s future” slogan and is now using an anti-BNP message.

They are all doing this to keep our country from being a free and sovereign nation and firmly in the grasp of the EU.

Funnily enough, UKIP and NO2EU have very similar policies to the British National Party.

UKIP were set up by ZaNuLabour to take votes away from the British National Party and when voted into the EU, promised to publish their accounts so that the public could inspect them. But, amazingly, haven’t done so! Since 1999, the leader of UKIP, Nigel Farage, has taken £2 MILLION of the taxpayer’s money in the form of expenses and allowances as an MEP on top of his annual wages of £64,000! Nice work if you can get it eh?

Also, 12 of UKIP’s MEP’s voted into the EU in 2004 have faced CRIMINAL CHARGES for money laundering, falsely claiming benefits and false accounting. All from a party saying no to the EU? More like saying yes to the EU. Saying yes to the money and saying yes to keep their expenses secret.

NO2EU were set up by the RMT union and are backed by socialist’s intent on spreading the word of communism throughout the Western world.

The amount of parties on the ballot paper have increased due to mounting public support for the British National Party. Parties know that the British public do not want to be part of the EU, do not want to give billions of taxpayer’s money to the EU every year nor be governed by Eurocrats who are only interested in expanding the EU eastwards.”

On June 4th, use your democratic right and vote in the EU elections. Now is the time to throw off the shackles of lies and theft from the public purse and vote for a party who have the best interests of Britain and its people at the heart of every policy!

Every vote counts so if you believe in a party with genuine policies of;

Saying NO to the EU

Saying NO to Britain adopting the Euro

Saying NO to immigration

Saying NO to unemployment

Saying NO to high taxes and,

Saying NO to being ripped off by politicians.

Then YOU need to vote for the British National Party.

No other political party has Britain’s best interests at heart!

It just goes to show the electorate what exactly the phoney nationalists, SNP, are all about in their quest for more power and to shear Scotland off from Britain.

Quick to capitalise on the closure of schools, the SNP are blaming ZaNuLabour whilst hiding their own SNP/Lib Dhimmi collaboration of school closures in Aberdeen.

The Scottish National Party (Yes2EU, No2Democracy) are hoping to use the school closures to win in the council by-election seat which could be vacated by Michael Martin in a sneaky move they picked up from ZaNuLabour in Glenrothes last November.

In Glenrothes, Labour – surprisingly – held on to the seat quite comfortably which was contributed to SNP led Fife Council policies that the people of Glenrothes did not agree with. Especially the massive increase in care charges.

Realising the fury over school closures, the SNP are going to blame ZaNuLabour in a bid to “persuade” the North East Glasgow electorate to switch from ZaNuLabour to SNP.

The schools under threat are; Sighthill Primary, Barmulloch Primary, St Gilbert’s Primary, Albert Primary, St Aloysius Primary, Craigielea Day Nursery and Broompark Day Nursery.

There has been campaigning by parents and staff over the closures.
Anne McLaughlin, MSP, said: “There is real anger about the closure of schools in Glasgow and it’s a Labour council which is doing it.

“I think this will be a very important issue if there is a by- election and I’m sure we will highlight It.”. Oh I bet you will!

Of course ZaNuLabour have hit back and says that it is the SNP Scottish “Governments” fault that schools are closing. Ah yes, the old blame game!

The unpopular act of closing down schools isn’t just happening in Glasgow by the ZaNuLabour. Council coalitions of SNP/Lib Dhimmi in Aberdeen, Edinburgh and fife are also closing schools. Best to keep that on the quiet, eh?

A spokesperson from ZaNuLabour said, “This goes to prove that the real problem is the SNP’s council tax freeze and failure to fund education properly. We will certainly be making sure that Glasgow North East voters know where the blame lies.”

All this squabbling over a seat that no-one knows when, or even if, it will materialise.

But many would prefer either an early general election or for Mr, “I like to spend the taxpayer’s money the same as the rest of the pigs but will take the fall for it”, Martin to stay on until Parliament is dissolved.

Scottish ZaNuLabour leaders and the Prime Minister are at odds over when a by-election should be held.

Commissar Brown prefers a July poll to get the by-election out of the way ASAP. But Labour officials in Scotland remember last summer when a safe seat in Glasgow East was taken off them by the SNP.

In today’s Scotland on Sunday, there is a big, generally fair, article, which talks about the BNP in Scotland “coming soon to a town near you”.

Well, if you live in Clydebank, Dundee, Edinburgh, Dumfries, Fort William or Aberdeen we came to your town yesterday!

It was Saturday 23 May and BNP activists delivered an astonishing 2,000 leaflets in 4 hours, face-to-face and hand-to-hand, to shoppers all afternoon in the centre of Clydebank.

Our activist stated: “We also had a new activist with us. Again, needless to say, there were no other political parties in sight. The BNP had the whole field! The take-up was unbelievable. We’ve never seen it so good. Everyone was friendly, and in the space of 4 hours, there was only one ‘nutter’ who objected. People were coming up to us, asking for leaflets going ‘Gie us some of them, mate!’ We ran out of leaflets at 5 o’ clock and had to wrap it up – only because we had run out! What a day!”

Sunday also saw our Euro candidates Roy Jones and Gary Raikes campaigning in what was once Winston Churchill’s seat, Dundee.

The publics disgust with the mainstream politicians was evident as the majority of people were happy to see the team and take a leaflet, with a high number promising to vote BNP on June 4th, this prompted one activist to remark ” you better get your passport sorted Gary your off to Brussels!”

While winning a seat would be a dream come true we have to keep our feet on the ground, reports from around Scotland do indeed point to a huge growth in support for the BNP but there is no guarantee that this will turn into votes.

Realistically we want to get over 2.5%, which means we would save our deposit any thing above that will reflect that there has been good solid growth in support and another big step towards the mainstream for BNP Scotland.

Congratulations to BNP Glasgow for their amazing activity. There’s more coming this week, and the next! If you can help in your area, even if it is only putting leaflets or newspapers through doors, please contact us at Scotland@bnp.org.uk

Remember 4th June, Vote BNP – we are on the ballot in all of Scotland.

In a place where security was at its utmost, eleven “suspected” illegal immigrants were arrested at Eurostar’s London terminal – where they were working in FULL VIEW of the authorities!

There were six male and four female Nigerians and a Bolivian male working as cleaners at St. Pancras international.

During the raid by UK Border Agency and British Transport Police, some of the illegal workers tried to evade the authorities.

They are being held whilst “enquiries” are being carried out.

A source said: “The station is a key arrival point into the UK so passport control workers are coming and going all the time, and there were all these people openly working illegally right under their noses. All hell broke loose when the cavalry arrived.”

A UK Border Agency spokesperson said, “Cleaners working for a contractor were questioned as to their right to work in the UK.”

The contractor who employed the illegal workers could face a fine of up to £110,000 for employing people not eligible to work in the UK.

They obviously couldn’t see the wood for the trees, so you have to ask if it can happen right under the noses of the authorities, where else is it happening and how widespread is the problem? Not a question that the other old-gang parties will ask as they are too tied up in bundles of there stasi political correctness.

It’s the end of another 7 days campaigning and 7 activists from BNP Glasgow and from Ayr have been out every day this week. In that time, they’ve delivered over 5000 leaflets hand-to-hand in Glasgow city centre, Edinburgh city centre, Clydebank, and Drumchapel ward (where BNP Scotland are also standing at the council by-election on June 4th).

The response has been great! One activist commented: “The feeling on the streets is really positive now. People are coming up to us and they are genuinely interested in our policies. They’re showing a real curiosity in the party and this just shows the change there has been in the public’s perception of us over the last year.”

Euro candidate Charlie Baillie said: “Not only are we reaching thousands of people face-to-face but we’re performing a valuable democratic service because when we go out every day it is obvious that we are the only political party on the streets. We are the only party alerting the public to the fact that there even is a Euro-election being held on Thursday 4th June!”

CAN YOU HELP?
As we enter the final 14 days of campaigning, we need all the help we can get. We’re ramping up the street activism, but we also need people who can deliver leaflets or newspapers through letterboxes door-to-door in their areas?

Remember, Scotland is one constituency, so everyone has a chance to vote BNP! That mean’s that every letterbox on every front door, in every town, and in every village in Scotland is hiding a potential voter!

Can you help us leaflet – even on your own? It is fairly easy and it is very satisfying! You can collect the materials from a central point, or they can be sent to you.

If you can help in this way, please contact us: Scotland@bnp.org.uk

We have the tools – we just need the people to use them!

If you cannot help us distribute leaflets, then at least please send us a donation – payable to “British Heritage” and send it to PO Box 11815, Turriff, AB53 8WB.

BNP Scotland is also organising a day of action in cooperation with Carlisle BNP on 30th and 31st May. We’re going down to the target seat – North West England – to help get Nick Griffin elected. Do you want to join us? If so, contact us as above! There is nothing like the camaraderie you enjoy knowing you’re part of something really worthwhile.

A Russian cage fighter raped a teenage girl at a party in the Knightswood area of Glasgow and has been jailed for two and a half years and convicted of rape and acting in a lewd and libidinous manner.

The perpetrator, Edgar Kudzhoyan, 23, also admitted to being involved in an assault on another teenage girl at the SAME party.

Four other males had been previously sentenced to community service in their part of the second assault.

The incidents happened in the bedroom of a flat on 11th June 2005.

Kudzhoyan and his cousin Anatoli Khaimov, 22 attended a party with other males and girls.

The victim who was raped, who is now 21, remembered how she had got “very drunk” that night. A usual going on at these “events”.

She said that she was immobilised as the Russian rapist was on top of her, raping her.

Andrew Miller, Prosecutor, asked: “How did you feel that this was happening?”

“I felt really dirty”, She said.

The second incident involved Kudzhoyan involved in a degrading assault on an unconscious 14 year old girl which was filmed on a few others mobile phones.

The unconscious victim, now 18, watched herself in the disgusting 20-second clip and was “shocked” as she could not recollect the incident in which she had been indecently assaulted and the word “bitch” scrawled upon her forehead.

Also in the footage were a number of leering men, including Kudzhoyan who was topless.

Five others, who had been at the party and were arrested in connection with the camera incident, walked free from court in 2007.

Another party-goer, Tom Sier, who has since been acquitted of an unrelated rape allegation, admitted indecently assaulted the young girl and was sentenced to community service.

Dean Bowman confessed to writing on her forehead and was put on probation.
Two others, Mohammed Khan and Daniel Halliday, admitted storing the footage of the attack on their mobile phone and were sentenced to community service.

Another man, Dimitry Fescenko, was cleared of any involvement in the incident after trial.

The judge, Lord Turnbull, said that the Russian rapist had lost his “moral framework” at the party and behaved in a “reprehensible fashion”.

Kudzhoyan was sentenced to six months for the other charge with both terms to run concurrently and was placed on the sex offenders register.

Having passed by this area in Knightswood on many occasions, I have, firsthand, seen and heard the young girls who frequent these flats and observed their attire.

Scantily clad girls, sometimes “dogging school” talk loudly amongst themselves about their conquests, drinking, drug taking and parties. The area they visit is widely known as a dumping ground for asylum seekers and is made up of several high-rise flats.

The sentencing in this case is abhorrent and not the correct message to send out to these sort of sick individuals.

Ukip announced on Radio Scotland today that heir support and membership had grown in Scotland. Funny then that one of their Scottish EU candidates is one Paul Wiffen, 9 Cedar Park Gardens, Chadwell Heath, Romford, Essex.
Last time I looked Essex was in England, their support has grown so much that they couldn’t find six candidates living in Scotland!

How can anyone even consider voting for this bunch of expense fiddling fraudsters, remember the Who’s hit ‘Wont get fooled again’? “Here comes the new boss, same as the old boss”.

Don’t let them fool you again!

The British public aren’t stupid and they know that when it comes to the current government’s immigration policy over the past decade something has to change.

A YouGov survey has revealed that nearly ¾ adults wants a massive cut in immigration whilst one person in twenty supports the mass invasion.

Britain has NO CONTROL over its own borders when it comes to other EU countries – because the EU tells Britain that we MUST accept the peoples from other EU states. The benefits of being in the EU, eh?

The YouGov poll asked 2,072 people about immigration and here were the findings;

79 per cent of people were concerned or very concerned about immigration.

70 per cent favoured cutting levels by 80 per cent or more.

39 per cent favoured a policy of zero net immigration.

17 per cent said net immigration should be brought below 50,000 a year.

16% believed that the number of immigrants should be lower than those leaving.

No wonder the people of this island want the numbers coming in to stop as it has recently been revealed that the number of asylum invaders is UP 27% compared to last year.

8,380 people applied for asylum in the first three months of this year and these numbers do not include their family members!

If the family member are included, the numbers rise to 10,285. Not forgetting the ones who are pregnant or will become pregnant over here as they believe that a child born here will give them more of a chance of staying.

But the number of asylum invaders had FALLEN! Only 2,805 were booted out of Britain in the first 3 months.

A whopping 265,000 National Insurance numbers were still issued to Eastern Europeans migrants last year and 180,000 Eastern Europeans were given the right to work here last year under the Government’s official registration scheme.

Wonder how many will it be this year?

The effect of immigration have also taken a toll on our educational system with ONE IN SEVEN CHILDREN not speaking English as their first language!

Up 25% in FIVE YEARS!

Of course, the councils have to spend resources, paid for by your council tax, in helping these children learn English.

566,000 primary children and 349,000 secondary school kids do not speak English as their first language. That’s 915,000 children in total.

Teachers are having difficulty with coping as there are up to 240 languages spoken in Britain’s schools and there are also schools where NO ENGLISH IS SPOKEN AT ALL as their first language!

The most common language, with more than 102,000 pupils having it as their first language in primaries and secondary’s, is Punjabi.

A spokesperson for the Department for Children, Schools and Families said, “The language of instruction in English schools is, and always has been, English.
“We are increasing funding to bring students weak in English up to speed.” (More of YOUR tax money).

Yes, that’s right. Let’s throw more money that we don’t have at the problem. No point in sorting out the fact that our children are not being educated up to a good standard as they are stuck in a classroom with children who can’t speak their language.

The teachers are focusing on the non-English speaking kids as the government want to see results.

And the problem can only be seen to get worse. Especially when you have up to 2,000 (tip of the iceberg) invaders, at Calais. France, waiting to get into Britain – the land of easy pickings!

Many of the 2,000 are from Iraq and Afghanistan and are being fed in France while they wait for their opportunity to sneak into Britain.

After they had had their fill, a gang fight erupted. Dozens were injured and weapons were involved, including knives. The police had to use tear gas to try to put a stop to the violence.

Britain and France are trying to secure a deal where a new detention centre will be opened so as to prevent invaders sneaking into Britain. Guess what? YOU’RE going to pay for that too!

The only political party willing to put an end to all this nonsense is the British National Party – but we can’t do this without YOU!

Please remember to vote for the British National Party on June the 4th!

Recently a protest was staged against the detention of a failed asylum seeker who had her asylum claim rejected in 2005 and then had FIVE more appeals refused!

Fatou Felicite Gaye, 38, from the Ivory Coast, and four-year-old Arouna, born in Scotland, were held at Dungavel until today. They were detained after an early morning raid in Sighthill, Glasgow on 14th May and had been previously informed they were to be removed by letter.

The demonstration was held outside the UK Border Agency office in Glasgow with around twenty people there.

The protesters were from a Glasgow asylum seeker support group, Unity Centre. The group held placards and posters reading “End detention now” and “We demand justice”. Justice for whom? The family were turned down FIVE TIMES! Are we just supposed to let everyone in?

Do-gooders have described their detainment as “heavy handed”. Heavy handed? By physically making them leave instead of sending them flowers and a love note?

An MSP from SNP, Christina McKelvie, whose constituency covers Dungavel, said that the detention of a child born in Scotland is “an absolute disgrace”.

she said, “It has never been right to detain a child in Dungavel and there is no excuse for the UK Government’s actions.

“This is a clear and disgraceful breach of Jim Murphy’s promise to end the detention of children and breaks the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.”

“The UK Government are detaining a child born in Scotland in an immigration centre that is not fit for children.

Who else is going to look after the child? And we all know that asylum seekers know to have children born in Britain as it gives them more leverage in the asylum process.

The Glasgow asylum charity complained that the raid came a few days after the announcement that failed asylum families could get to stay here until the felt the urge to return home on their own terms. Yeah, that’s right. No need to leave straight away (even though you have been refused SIX TIMES). Hang around for awhile, you don’t want to do anything rash.

Unity said, “The dawn raid, the first to be carried out in Glasgow for almost a year, was carried out only days after the Home Office announced the start of a pilot project designed to prevent the need to detain asylum-seeking families at all.”

“Only on Tuesday this week, Fatou had been to report at the Home Office and campaigners at Unity are wondering why on earth the Home Office decided to use such heavy-handed and unnecessary tactics to detain Fatou.”

A spokesperson for the UK Border agency said, “Individuals who have been found by our trained case owners and the independent courts to not be in need of international protection are expected to return home.

“The UK Border Agency always prefers people to leave the UK voluntarily rather than have their return enforced but, where an enforced removal is necessary, family enforcement visits are undertaken with extreme care, allowing as much time as possible for packing and for everything to be clearly explained.”

Officials arrived to carry out the raid at 6.45am. Raids are not allowed to take place before 6.30am.

It is understood that officials from the agency arrived at the property where Ms Gaye was staying at around 6.45am yesterday.

The initiative to help failed asylum seekers return home voluntarily was announced by the Scottish Government on Tuesday.

The scheme will be piloted next month in Glasgow and it has been claimed the project could reduce the number of “dawn raids”.
