Bathgate says refugees are welcome here
SUTR/West Lothian TUC counter demo in Bathgate last night. 150 of us, 5 Nazis who on seeing the anti-racist throng, chose not to assemble. EIS, ASLEF, FBU, UNISON, PCS, NASUWT, Unite, Stop the War represented.
The most moving thing was seeing all the refugees waving at us from behind the locked doors of the hotel. Support for these refugees will be ongoing.
