    I've stayed at that hotel a couple of years ago. Didn't notice it crawling with asylum seekers, but then again I'm not that good at spotting English accents in Scotland...
    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

      Kind of crass liberal response we expect from you.

        I've been advised that it's been housing some of Glasgow's homeless during the Covid crisis (after all there aren't that many other potential customers)
        merely at clientco for the entertainment

          Looks like its desperately trying to recover after you brought down the tone! Maybe even NLyUK can get rooms by the hour?

          It is understood that the Park Inn Hotel is currently being used to house asylum seekers.
          It may be a response to Covid as many homeless people are now in hotels because of the pandemic. The hotels are less discriminatory because they have no customers.

            Kind of "whooooosh" response we expect from you. But never mind.

              Stupid question but how is it safer to gather all the homeless in one hotel? Wouldn't this mass gathering increase the risk of spreading covid?

                Seems like every time I check the news there's a new shooting or stabbing or police being attacked. And that's aside from all the BLM stuff and the population acting like idiots.

                Is it national lockdown cabin fever, or something more severe?

                  BBC and some other news outlets put quite an emphasis on the fact that asylum seekers were hosted there and that people were not aware they were hosted there.

                  Got the love how brainwashing and enraging population works in the time of misinformation.

                  It is a sad disturbing incident, it probably could have been avoided. Outlining and directing rage and making a bad example out of what could have been a good cause, not quite sure it is.

                  Weren't we just about a week ago on and on ... how all lives matter? Or maybe just not all, not those that we don't like: eastern Europeens, Turks, asylum seekers.

                  What matters the most is how you say the message and how the average Joe perceives it. But I guess that is not what the outlets have in mind with their spin. Not at all

                    When in Rome...


                    Anyway, they all got thrown out their flats a few months ago and put up in there, so it is a fairly new thing. It will be total carnage of a blame game this. I believe it was the home office who did it, but the SNP know a "they should all get flats" line will not go down well, esp. when a lot of people are really hard up.
