2 days later and we are no further forward. Mears Group and Migrant Help passing the buck between each other with neither giving actual answers. Home Office just not responding (nothing new there!)

We are working with some of the Tamils on Diego Garcia, yesterday I had a call with one begging for help, he described awful human rights abuses, hunger strikes and suicide attempts. Now to learn some have been sent to Rwanda for medical treatment is disgraceful.

Trying to conduct remote court hearings and a full band set up outside our office. I want to support people to earn money but the level of amplification is a disgrace. Glasgow City Council completely uninterested.

Something so satisfying about this man’s refusal to take the bait with the usual leading questions on migration. Just calmly & stubbornly fair-minded, straightforward, no nonsense answers in a perfect Wexford accent right in the middle of the town. 10/10
