The Scottish Refugee Council said it had expressed ‘repeated concern’ about the housing of asylum seekers in hotels

A charity representing refugees in Scotland has urged people to show a ‘united and dignified response in sorrow’ to the Glasgow knife attack.

The Park Inn was being used as temporary accommodation to house asylum seekers, a policy which has been criticised by campaigners troubled by their living conditions., saying the policy should be brought to an end quickly.Chief executive Sabir Zazai said: ‘We are completely devastated by what happened at the Park Inn.

The charity will be keeping its helpline for asylum seekers open over the weekend, he said, as many would have fled ‘traumatic experiences’ in their home countries. ‘We have expressed repeated concern over the last three months about the use of hotel accommodation for people in the asylum system. ‘Until more facts are confirmed about what happened yesterday we will not be able to comment further on the issue of hotel accommodation.

pay more to give them better food, better mod cons, better mobile phones, a car, promise of a house within a month and then handouts sufficient to live a good life...then they will be happy and content. Evident Scottish authorities not doing enough

And ‘CONCERN’ re what? Room service? Cotton Count? Do these ‘Concerns’ equal scared they may murder people

Put them back in their unsafe dingies and put them back out to sea, we all have to stay in during this time an£ there are lots of us with mental health issues but you don’t see us going out stabbing people, 8 wonder if they came here purposely to do this.

All those unhappy with staying in a hotel with free food should be given a taxi ride to the airport & told to FRO!

How about focusing on the victims not the fact the murderer only had access to 3 meals a day and slow WiFi! Boo hoo how sad for him. Your headlines are a joke

Yes, We should be putting them up in Penthouse apartments, Caviar on tap and pay for sexy ladies to go round and keep them 'happy' *drops the bag of sarcasm*

Police appeal for footage of hotel stabbingsSix people including a police officer were hurt during the attack at the Park Inn hotel on West George Street. What footage would that be? I thought this happened in the hotel? Haven’t the other 2 residents of the hotel that were arrested ( yes we saw that 🧐) got any footage? You appear to be not reporting on them? Wasn't happy with the food What a pity If this illegal migrant hadn't been allowed to stay none of this would have happened That's an inescapable fact I'm frightened. I don't think men from Middle East/Africa are inferior so not racist. I am frightened of them. I am also frightened of BBC because they hide the horror of situations from fear of being racist. They act as if horror is normal and make excuses for attackers.
