ukraine refugees
it seems the Devolved caretakers of Scotland the snp have run into trouble with the british goverment, and it is stated that the snp have not had permission to house part of the eighteen thousand ukraine refugees ( it has brought into scotland ) on a ferry at Leith and not only are the ukraine refugees complaining about their living quarters, but there is no provision for any social benifits as they have no legal address, also along with no schools doctors etc, it can only get worse as the track record of the snp and ferries is troublesome to say the least, for a start health and safety are the first to be involved then social services and the list goes on,

Re: ukraine refugees
It shows one thing the thinking of some at the top. Or should say lack of it. Personal kudos is what they seek , and leave it up to those real lifesavers who have to make it happen. I still maintain all or most of them the problems of this world are all started at the top by self seeking people most of whom are in politics. Today the place we have reached. It really is the pits, we are in the position to achieve their aims we may in numerous cases getting rid of the wrong people and letting worse into those positions of power. Most of their so called skills are managed by brains the size of a peanut. JS
