'Jesus, Mary and Joseph were refugees who sought refuge in a stable after a long and arduous journey. DavidLinden
As I was putting the tree, tinsel and baubles away this week , I was reflecting on the Christmas season which is now coming to a close and we now find ourselves in that awkward bit between Christmas and Hogmanay.
One of the things I love most about the Christmas message is the fact that Jesus wasn’t born to upper-class, royal parents and shown off to theJesus, Mary and Joseph were refugees who sought refuge in a stable after a long and arduous journey. Sadly, not everyone in Westminster views immigration as being a positive thing. Indeed, for the two big parties at Westminster, immigration is increasingly becoming the ‘issue of the day’ which I fear will come to define the next UKWhen it comes to the Tories and immigration policy, what you see is what you get. Dog whistle politics, pound shop Enoch Powells and using refugees as a political football.
To understand this, you’ve got to realise that winning Government in a UK General Election largely comes down to about 80 or so seats. In the last election, the Tories did that by winning over what’s known as the red wall – basically seats in England, which had traditionally voted Labour but flipped to the Tories due to issues like Brexit and immigration. Think market towns, seaside resorts and places which previously had heavy industry, such as the North East of England.
That is, who should decide Scotland’s future? Should it be Sunak and Starmer or the people of Scotland? Surely Scotland can do better than two parties fighting it out to see who is closer to the politics of Nigel Farage?
