Refugees welcome

 


Salam alaykum  

The Southside Carrom League stands with those who have fled from backgammon, chess, bagatelle, crokinole, pool and other benighted arenas to seek a better game for their families. 

SCL boards represent sanctuary.

12 Syrians, 3 Palestinians and a big lad from Myanmar arrived at Victoria Road, Glasgow on Sunday evening, having made their way in a dinghy all the way across Prospecthill Road, through Cathcart and to Govanhill. The G-Hill community stood in solidarity and greeted the folk with shawarmas, whistles, flamboyant cakes and black-ribbed bodywarmers. The Pink Peacock Cafe was mobbed. 

Kajil, dinghy pilot and (in his former life ) sandals designer, spoke to the crowd. Despite not knowing English or which end of a megaphone is the end you are supposed to speak into, his passion resonated. The crowd bayed for justice. Then a guy stole the dinghy. 

Respect to the local farmers who joined the event with twelve sheep they had bussed in. "No justice - no fleece!" The British Home Secretary wants to dingy the dinghy folk and send them to Rwanda.

SCL says: if you have inclination, sit with us.
