What's he going to do if he doesn't pass his exams? | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
That's a good question. But don't worry, there's plenty of time. | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
You're so busy trying to get the weans that cannae speak English | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
to pass their exams, you're forgetting about the others. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
-Sometimes decisions are taken by people elsewhere. -It's bad enough | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
round here as it is without dumping half the world on us. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
And here we are on the ground, trying to deal with the situation. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
These asylum seekers don't even come from civilised countries. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
Oh, come on, this is hardly the Garden of Eden, is it? You and me | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
together, we're going to try and bring civilisation to Drumchapel. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
It'll be a hard old slog, but I think we can manage. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
-They'll be bringing knives in. -Who, your son's pals? -Eh? | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
I'm just saying there's a lot of media scare stories, you know? | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
It's very important for you and me to be on the same side, though, | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
Mrs McVey, that's the only way we're going to go forward - together. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
INDISTINCT CHATTER | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
"Good morning, Mr Girvan(!)" | 0:03:55 | 0:03:57 | |
Tired, Toni-Lee? You need to get to your bed earlier, pal. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:02 | |
OK, bring it down, everybody. Shh, shh, shh! | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
Hey... | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
CHATTER CEASES | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
Miss Azzudin, hello. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
Welcome to Drumchapel High. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
Amal here is from Somalia, via London. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
Who would like to show us on the map where Somalia is? | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
-Jennifer? -No, thanks. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
-What do you mean? -Sir, I cannae. -Why? | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
Eh...football injury, metatarsals or something, | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
doctor says I'm not meant to stand on it unnecessarily. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
GIGGLING | 0:04:30 | 0:04:31 | |
-Can I do it, Mr Girvan? -Yes, David Attenborough, come on down. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
-Very good, Roza. Now, where in the world is that? -Africa. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
Africa, that's right. Thank you, Roza. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
Which means that Amal, like many of you, has come a long way to be here. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:48 | |
So let's give her a big warm Drumchapel High welcome. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:51 | |
OK, everybody. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
Get your pens and paper out, because I, you, we, he, she, it and they | 0:04:56 | 0:05:02 | |
dive head first into the exciting world of subjective pronouns. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:08 | |
Yes! You love it, you love it, you love it. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
-Are you in the high flats? -Mm-hm. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:13 | |
That's where they put most of us. And you came to London first? | 0:05:13 | 0:05:17 | |
-Mm. -Cool, us too. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:18 | |
My mum, OK, she sees Scotland on the TV and it was snowing | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
and she's like, "Imagine if they take us there!" | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
And then, like, the next day, the guy at the hotel was like, | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
"You're going to Scotland." | 0:05:27 | 0:05:28 | |
And she's just like, freaking out, like, "What? Really?" | 0:05:28 | 0:05:32 | |
How's your flat? | 0:05:32 | 0:05:34 | |
We hardly have anything. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:36 | |
What are you missing? | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
Music. Definitely. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
Mad asylum seekers, eh? | 0:05:48 | 0:05:49 | |
Tidy, innit? | 0:05:51 | 0:05:52 | |
All right, ladies? | 0:05:52 | 0:05:53 | |
Oh, that is pure severe, man! She's got a baldy. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:58 | |
-Don't do that, idiot! -What are you going to do, sex bomb? | 0:05:58 | 0:06:02 | |
Don't touch her. Don't touch her! What are you doing?! | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
Why are you touching her?! Why are you touching her?! | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
-I was only playing. -What?! | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
Calm down, man. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
-It's OK, Amal, let go. -Keep your hair on. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |

He couldn't come with us. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:03 | |
There. That's better. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:12 | |
Home is what you make it. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:17 | |
You don't mind me having all of these things? | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
-No, keep it. The stereo, too. It's yours. -Really? | 0:07:20 | 0:07:24 | |

-Roza? -Yes, sir. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:59 | |
-Ewelina? -Here. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:01 | |
Jennifer? | 0:10:01 | 0:10:04 | |
-Jennifer? -Aye. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
Praise be(!) Toni-Lee? | 0:10:06 | 0:10:08 | |
Here. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:10 | |
Agnesa? | 0:10:10 | 0:10:11 | |
Roza, Ewelina, you see Agnesa this morning? | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
-No, Mr Girvan. She must be sick. -She'd rather be sick than be here. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
That's not like her. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
KNOCK ON DOOR | 0:10:29 | 0:10:31 | |
Agnesa? | 0:10:31 | 0:10:32 | |
Hello? | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
Agnesa? | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
ALARM BUZZES | 0:10:50 | 0:10:52 | |
Agnesa? | 0:10:55 | 0:10:57 | |
Where are they? | 0:11:02 | 0:11:03 | |
PHONE RINGS | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
Agnesa's family's asylum claim has been turned down. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:28 | |
And what does that mean? | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
-It means that they're going to be taken back home. -Home? | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |
Yes, Roza, home. They'll be deported, | 0:11:33 | 0:11:36 | |
-they'll be sent back to Kosovo. -By who? | 0:11:36 | 0:11:38 | |
By the Home Office. The Government. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
They'd been here four years. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:54 | |
-My family don't have our papers, either. -Neither do we. -Amal? | 0:11:54 | 0:11:59 | |
No. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:00 | |
Well, what are they going to do? Do they have a home to go back to? | 0:12:00 | 0:12:03 | |
No, she said their home was burnt. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
It just isn't right. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:08 | |
They've been taken to a detention centre, | 0:12:09 | 0:12:12 | |
a place called Yarl's Wood in England. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:13 | |
-England! As if it wisnae bad enough. -Very good, Jennifer. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:17 | |
They're going to be detained there until they're flown back to Kosovo. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:21 | |
Now, I'm trying to get a contact number to reach them... | 0:12:21 | 0:12:24 | |
I'm sorry, I'm afraid there's not much else we can do. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:31 | |
OK. Your exams are approaching | 0:12:31 | 0:12:34 | |
so open your books at page 32, | 0:12:34 | 0:12:38 | |
act two, scene one. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:41 | |
Come on, open your books. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:43 | |
-What's going on? -We're going on strike, Mr Girvan. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:52 | |
-Right. -Yes, right. This is wrong. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:55 | |
I'm not going to carry on as if nothing has happened. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:58 | |
-And we are, too. -What? | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
Aye, we all are. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
Very good, Jennifer. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:10 | |
I'm not really sure I would know the difference, you know, but, | 0:13:10 | 0:13:13 | |
-um, good on you. -Put your book down, Toni-Lee. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:15 | |
-Et tu, Elvis? -Aye. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:27 | |
If we want to get her back, we're going to have to be proactive. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
Get the community involved or something. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:46 | |
Nobody round here's going to help. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:47 | |
-Why are you saying that? -Folk have got enough to worry about. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
-Come off it, most folk don't want them here. -Jennifer! | 0:13:50 | 0:13:54 | |
I'm just saying, that's how it is, but. It's not my opinion. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
Ho. This isn't a library. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
-Is it not? I didn't realise. -You going to buy that? | 0:14:04 | 0:14:07 | |
-Yeah, what about it? -And you? | 0:14:07 | 0:14:09 | |
-Mind your own business, we're not criminals. -Leave it, Emma. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:12 | |
-Bawbag. -I heard that. -Nathan, come on. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
Seven o'clock in the morning. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:19 | |
It says here that the family were hysterical. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:22 | |
They could be coming for me and my family, too. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:24 | |
-Take one of these and sign them. -What's this? | 0:14:24 | 0:14:26 | |
-It's a petition. -What's a petition? -It's how we get things done. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:29 | |
It's a list of names of people that agree with us. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:31 | |
What use is that? We need to fight. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:33 | |
There must be a reason why they were removed. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
-Home Office obviously thinks it's safe for them. -See? | 0:14:35 | 0:14:37 | |
-People don't want us here. -I never said that. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:39 | |
Look, Agnesa was my friend and I'm a Glaswegian. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:41 | |
There are people here who care about you and people who have signed this. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:45 | |
I just don't get it. Why would she not want to go home? | 0:14:45 | 0:14:47 | |
-It's not safe there. -Jennifer. -What? It's a free country. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:50 | |
That's right, it's a free country, this is a democracy. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:53 | |
We're all entitled to an opinion, | 0:14:53 | 0:14:55 | |
we're all entitled to express that opinion. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:58 | |
Maybe you could do me a one-pager | 0:14:58 | 0:15:00 | |
on what it means to live in a democracy. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:03 | |
Emma has suggested the petition. What's your suggestion? | 0:15:03 | 0:15:07 | |
What's your suggestion? Roza? | 0:15:08 | 0:15:11 | |
Amal? Ewelina? Anybody? Anybody? | 0:15:13 | 0:15:16 | |
OK, so we're all agreed. Give me that. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:18 | |

They've been putting fucking bikes down that chute. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
That's why it's all overflowing, it's ridiculous. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:47 | |

No. No, I cannae help you with that. Look, phone the police, doll. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:57 | |

Oh, thank Christ, you nearly gave me a heart attack, hen. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:38 | |
I wanted to ask you to sign a petition for my friend Agnesa. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
-She and her family were taken by the Home Office. -The Home Office? | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
Oh, that's terrible. Course, hen. Give it here. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:46 | |

It's...in here somewhere. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |
-Oh. -What does it say? | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
It says, "Drumchapel High School students..." | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |

Perceived ill treatment? | 0:17:59 | 0:18:01 | |

It's obvious, innit? Why would you expect people to help? | 0:18:10 | 0:18:13 | |

I understand that, but you have kidnapped and imprisoned | 0:23:04 | 0:23:08 | |
one of my pupils, and I want to know when you plan to force her | 0:23:08 | 0:23:11 | |
onto a plane and dump her in a dangerous country | 0:23:11 | 0:23:15 | |
where her safety and her future cannot be guaranteed. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:18 | |
No, I keep telling you, I'm not a solicitor, I am her teacher | 0:23:20 | 0:23:23 | |
and I think I have the right to know when a pupil of mine.... | 0:23:23 | 0:23:26 | |
Damn it! | 0:23:28 | 0:23:30 | |
SHE KNOCKS SOFTLY | 0:23:31 | 0:23:34 | |
What do you want? | 0:23:34 | 0:23:36 | |
I want to speak to Mr Girvan. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:38 | |
Jennifer. How can I help? | 0:23:40 | 0:23:42 | |
Here's that essay. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:46 | |
Oh. I forgot about that. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:48 | |
Yeah. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:51 | |
Very good. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:54 | |
Look underneath. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:56 | |
Well... | 0:24:02 | 0:24:04 | |
There must be a couple of hundred signatures there. What's going on? | 0:24:06 | 0:24:10 | |
I was walking and it hit me. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:13 | |
How would I feel if the police came and locked up my family? | 0:24:15 | 0:24:18 | |
I'd have to do something. Fight. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:21 | |
I want to help, I do. But I just think, who the hell's going to | 0:24:23 | 0:24:26 | |
listen to a bunch of wee lassies from Drumchapel? | 0:24:26 | 0:24:29 | |
SHE SNIFFS | 0:24:30 | 0:24:32 | |
What's wrong? | 0:24:32 | 0:24:34 | |
What is it? | 0:24:36 | 0:24:37 | |
Oh, come off it! Surely me offering to help isn't that upsetting? | 0:24:39 | 0:24:42 | |
I'm sorry. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:44 | |
Well, what's wrong? | 0:24:45 | 0:24:47 | |
We found out our claim has been rejected, too. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:55 | |
It won't be too long for us. | 0:24:57 | 0:24:59 | |
I'm sorry, Roza. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:03 | |
Jennifer, you've been protesting all your life. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:09 | |
You just never had a good outlet until now. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:12 | |
So if you want to help, get out there and do it. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
INDISTINCT CHATTER | 0:25:21 | 0:25:24 | |
How did you manage this? | 0:25:36 | 0:25:37 | |
All right, everyone, quiet. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:44 | |
CHATTER CONTINUES | 0:25:44 | 0:25:45 | |
Come on, bring it down. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:47 | |
Quiet! | 0:25:47 | 0:25:48 | |
CHATTER CEASES | 0:25:48 | 0:25:51 | |
All right, everybody. Thanks for coming. We wanted to bring yous | 0:25:51 | 0:25:54 | |
all here because something's been happening and it's not right, | 0:25:54 | 0:25:57 | |
and we need to do something about it. | 0:25:57 | 0:25:59 | |
This is Roza. She's an Iraqi Kurd but she's all right. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:04 | |
OK, first, thank you all for being here. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:07 | |
-Going to speak up, hen! -Oh, sorry. Thank you all for being here. | 0:26:07 | 0:26:11 | |
We just wanted to say that what this Government behaves is doing wrong. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:14 | |
-Eh? -The dawn raids. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:16 | |
The Home Office is taking asylum-seeking families from home | 0:26:16 | 0:26:19 | |
-and deporting them. WOMAN: -Aye, and they're not doing it fast enough. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:22 | |
We know that some people around here think it better that we hadn't come | 0:26:22 | 0:26:26 | |
but my uncles and grandfather were shot by regime in Iraq. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:30 | |
My family, we came here, because my father's life was in danger. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:33 | |
-He was teacher, but here he cannot work. -I have a question. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:36 | |
Do you think anyone should be allowed to come and live here? | 0:26:36 | 0:26:39 | |
If they live in trouble, yes. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:41 | |
-What if they're a criminal? -Yes, also then. -A murderer? A rapist? | 0:26:41 | 0:26:46 | |
Well, no. No. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:48 | |
No, OK, so we're all agreed, | 0:26:48 | 0:26:49 | |
we cannae just have an indiscriminate open border. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:52 | |
We need rules and regulations | 0:26:52 | 0:26:54 | |
and we need people to manage those rules, to man our borders. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:57 | |
We're not talking about murderers, criminals or rapists. | 0:26:57 | 0:27:00 | |
We're talking about kids here. We're talking about students at my school. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:04 | |
I understand that, Euan. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:06 | |
So, what you're saying is, people with kids should be allowed to stay, | 0:27:06 | 0:27:10 | |
-so long as they're not criminals? -No, you don't understand. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:12 | |
It's more complicated than that. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:14 | |
And what about folk having weans just so they can get a passport? | 0:27:14 | 0:27:17 | |
What will that lead to? Happy families? I don't think so. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:20 | |
My family are good people and so are Agnesa's. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:23 | |
We fled for fear of our lives. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:25 | |
Look, you shouldn't be able to come into someone's house | 0:27:25 | 0:27:27 | |
in the middle of the night and drag them away. It's wrong. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:30 | |
Well, what time of day should they come, then, darling? Should they | 0:27:30 | 0:27:33 | |
make a wee, convenient appointment that fits their schedule(?) | 0:27:33 | 0:27:37 | |
Listen, I like you girls, but you're so naive it's a joke. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:40 | |
Maybe it was naive to think that people would want to help us. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:43 | |
But that's what you do, isn't it? When you're scared you ask for help. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:48 | |
Well, we're scared. We're scared because the Home Office | 0:27:48 | 0:27:51 | |
is coming in the middle of the night to take people like us away. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:55 | |
And we're scared because if we get sent back to where we come from... | 0:27:55 | 0:27:58 | |
we don't know what will happen to us. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:01 | |
We're scared because every day we go to school and we say goodbye | 0:28:01 | 0:28:04 | |
to our friends, we don't know if it will be for the last time. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:07 | |
We're a part of this community, too. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:12 | |
And we need your help. Because we're under attack and we need your help | 0:28:12 | 0:28:16 | |
because we can't defend ourselves alone. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:18 | |
-That was fucking brilliant. -Well, what about...? | 0:28:20 | 0:28:22 | |
I think you've made your feelings clear enough, Kenny. | 0:28:22 | 0:28:25 | |
Now it's somebody else's turn. | 0:28:25 | 0:28:27 | |
I didn't come here to be told our Government doesn't know | 0:28:27 | 0:28:30 | |
how to run the country. I could have told you that myself. | 0:28:30 | 0:28:33 | |
What I want to know is, | 0:28:33 | 0:28:35 | |
what exactly it is you think we can do about it, girls? | 0:28:35 | 0:28:39 | |

ALL: End child detention now! | 0:33:10 | 0:33:12 | |
End child detention now! | 0:33:12 | 0:33:14 | |

We want to thank neighbours in our community | 0:33:23 | 0:33:25 | |
and of Greater Glasgow for coming out today to support us. | 0:33:25 | 0:33:28 | |
We want to put an end to the inhumane children's detention | 0:33:28 | 0:33:31 | |
by Government and we ask for answer from Home Office to our campaign. | 0:33:31 | 0:33:35 | |
CHEERING | 0:33:35 | 0:33:37 | |
Free Agnesa Murselaj! | 0:33:37 | 0:33:40 | |
ALL: Free Agnesa! Free Agnesa! Free Agnesa! | 0:33:40 | 0:33:45 | |
Me and Eva and Amal don't have our papers, either. We're scared that | 0:33:45 | 0:33:48 | |
the Home Office is going to pull us out of our beds | 0:33:48 | 0:33:50 | |
in the middle of the night and this for us means death. | 0:33:50 | 0:33:53 | |
But the Home Office says it's safe to return Agnesa home. | 0:33:53 | 0:33:55 | |
This is her home now. It's not safe in Kosovo. | 0:33:55 | 0:33:58 | |
She's a Glasgow girl. We all are. | 0:33:58 | 0:34:01 | |
The Glasgow Girls, I like that. | 0:34:01 | 0:34:03 | |
Cheers, girls, and good luck. | 0:34:03 | 0:34:06 | |
You know, the United Nations had peacekeepers in Kosovo | 0:34:06 | 0:34:09 | |
and as far as I'm aware, they still do. | 0:34:09 | 0:34:11 | |
If the situation there is safe, | 0:34:11 | 0:34:13 | |
why do they need peacekeepers on the ground? | 0:34:13 | 0:34:15 | |
Now, that's a question worth asking. | 0:34:15 | 0:34:17 | |
DOOR OPENS | 0:34:23 | 0:34:25 | |
It's from the Home Office. | 0:34:26 | 0:34:28 | |
"Thank you for your letter about Mr Murselaj and family. | 0:34:35 | 0:34:38 | |
"You have stated that there is a real risk if this family return to Kosovo | 0:34:38 | 0:34:41 | |
"they would face persecution. | 0:34:41 | 0:34:43 | |
"As Mr Murselaj and his family are from the Peje region, | 0:34:43 | 0:34:46 | |
"I am satisfied that there are no substantial grounds for believing | 0:34:46 | 0:34:49 | |
-"that this family would be at risk on return." -Shit. | 0:34:49 | 0:34:52 | |
"The Murselaj family has exhausted all their appeal rights | 0:34:54 | 0:34:57 | |
"and have no right to remain in the United Kingdom." | 0:34:57 | 0:34:59 | |
A plane's been chartered to take them back to Kosovo. | 0:34:59 | 0:35:03 | |
They leave tomorrow. | 0:35:03 | 0:35:05 | |
I'm so sorry, girls. We've lost. | 0:35:07 | 0:35:10 | |

You not answering your phone? What you up to? | 0:38:05 | 0:38:08 | |
I've been looking into something. | 0:38:08 | 0:38:10 | |
We've been worried about you. Ewelina's a wreck. | 0:38:10 | 0:38:13 | |
The letter, Jennifer, from the Home Office, there's something in it. | 0:38:13 | 0:38:16 | |
"I can tell you now that this family's removal will only be | 0:38:18 | 0:38:21 | |

Yeah, but... Wait, look at this. Come here. | 0:38:26 | 0:38:31 | |
"The United Nations believes | 0:38:38 | 0:38:40 | |

Look, even though the war is over, | 0:38:46 | 0:38:48 | |
there has still been revenge attacks against Roma families. | 0:38:48 | 0:38:51 | |
The United Nations Refugee Agency agrees with us. | 0:38:51 | 0:38:54 | |
-Roma families aren't safe there. -Where did you get that? | 0:38:54 | 0:38:58 | |
It's on their bloody website, it's there in black and white. | 0:38:58 | 0:39:01 | |
-Why hasn't the Home Office checked that? -Are you sure? | 0:39:01 | 0:39:04 | |

# Into my arms... # | 0:41:04 | 0:41:07 | |
-There you are. -Hey, you made me jump. | 0:41:16 | 0:41:19 | |
I wondered where you had gone. | 0:41:19 | 0:41:21 | |
Good to be home? | 0:41:26 | 0:41:28 | |
-So, it's home now, is it? -Yeah, it's home. | 0:41:30 | 0:41:33 | |
And don't leave it again. | 0:41:33 | 0:41:36 | |
What was it like when they said that you could go? | 0:41:39 | 0:41:42 | |
Amazing. We were like, "Yeah, bye, then." | 0:41:42 | 0:41:46 | |
It was hard saying bye to the other families, though. | 0:41:51 | 0:41:54 | |
I made some good friends there. | 0:41:55 | 0:41:58 | |
I got some good news whilst you was gone. | 0:42:01 | 0:42:03 | |
Yeah, what is it? | 0:42:03 | 0:42:05 | |
-PHONE RINGS Um... -Wait. | 0:42:05 | 0:42:08 | |
Yeah? | 0:42:09 | 0:42:11 | |
Tell him to wait. | 0:42:13 | 0:42:15 | |
THEY GIGGLE | 0:42:15 | 0:42:18 | |
Yeah. | 0:42:18 | 0:42:19 | |
You know, Dad's buying a huge lock for the door tomorrow | 0:42:22 | 0:42:25 | |
in case they're coming again. | 0:42:25 | 0:42:27 | |
Maybe it would be handy for keeping Elvis out, too. | 0:42:27 | 0:42:30 | |
They're not going to come again. | 0:42:31 | 0:42:33 | |
They might. | 0:42:36 | 0:42:38 | |
-So, tell me. -Hm? | 0:42:42 | 0:42:45 | |
-Your good news, what's up? -Oh...it's nothing. | 0:42:45 | 0:42:48 | |
Doesn't matter. | 0:42:50 | 0:42:51 | |
It's just good to have you home. | 0:42:53 | 0:42:55 | |
Come on. | 0:42:55 | 0:42:57 | |
RADIO: 'All morning, we're talking about the Glasgow Girls, | 0:43:06 | 0:43:09 | |
'a group of local girls from Drumchapel High | 0:43:09 | 0:43:11 | |
'who are making headlines and taking on the Home Office. | 0:43:11 | 0:43:14 | |
'And it seems they're going from strength to strength | 0:43:14 | 0:43:16 | |
'with the news that they've been invited for a meeting | 0:43:16 | 0:43:19 | |
'with the First Minister of Scotland himself, Jack McConnell.' | 0:43:19 | 0:43:22 | |
I'm shitting myself and I don't care who knows it. | 0:43:26 | 0:43:29 | |
THEY GIGGLE | 0:43:29 | 0:43:31 | |
Girls. First Minister of Scotland, Jack McConnell, pleased to meet you. | 0:43:38 | 0:43:43 | |
So, girls, let me just start by saying, you know, | 0:43:44 | 0:43:49 | |
I agree with you. Kids that are living here happily, | 0:43:49 | 0:43:52 | |
doing their exams, getting their education, should be left alone. | 0:43:52 | 0:43:55 | |
So, you're going to help us, then? | 0:43:55 | 0:43:58 | |
Well, what I will say is, you need to work out what your aims are. | 0:43:58 | 0:44:03 | |
I, of course, have been very impressed with your campaign. | 0:44:03 | 0:44:06 | |
You've been making a lot of noise, | 0:44:06 | 0:44:08 | |
people have been listening and sitting up, taking notice. | 0:44:08 | 0:44:11 | |
But what is it that you want? Hm? | 0:44:12 | 0:44:16 | |
The dawn raids have to stop. | 0:44:18 | 0:44:20 | |
We want an apology from the Government. | 0:44:20 | 0:44:21 | |
And we want everyone who's been taken from our communities | 0:44:21 | 0:44:24 | |
to be brought back, and no more deportation. | 0:44:24 | 0:44:27 | |
Do you want my advice, girls? | 0:44:29 | 0:44:31 | |
You have to figure out what it is you really, REALLY want. | 0:44:32 | 0:44:36 | |
You've got to be realistic. I mean, it's wonderful to have ideals, | 0:44:37 | 0:44:41 | |
but politics requires compromise and, well, an end to deportation, | 0:44:41 | 0:44:45 | |
it's, you know, it's just... it's never going to happen. | 0:44:45 | 0:44:48 | |
So, what, you're not going to do anything? | 0:44:48 | 0:44:51 | |
I, personally, am going to be calling for a protocol. | 0:44:59 | 0:45:01 | |
-What's a protocol? -A protocol's a set of changes, | 0:45:01 | 0:45:05 | |
a set of changes which mean the UK Government can't just | 0:45:05 | 0:45:08 | |
grab families any more without telling us. | 0:45:08 | 0:45:10 | |
And that doesn't mean that everyone can stay in every case, | 0:45:10 | 0:45:13 | |
of course not. It just means handling the situation | 0:45:13 | 0:45:17 | |
more sensitively. A more caring system. | 0:45:17 | 0:45:20 | |
Does that sound like something you can get on board with? | 0:45:22 | 0:45:25 | |
These changes, do you promise it? | 0:45:28 | 0:45:31 | |
Promise to try. | 0:45:33 | 0:45:36 | |
In politics, that's as good as it gets. | 0:45:36 | 0:45:39 | |
BANGING ON DOOR | 0:45:50 | 0:45:52 | |

Tired. | 0:48:25 | 0:48:26 | |
-Hey, where have you been? -Aye, there's a protest for Elvis | 0:48:45 | 0:48:48 | |
and his family at Brand Street on Sunday. We need to round up | 0:48:48 | 0:48:51 | |

Hi. | 0:49:23 | 0:49:24 | |
What's up? | 0:49:30 | 0:49:32 | |

What? | 0:49:37 | 0:49:39 | |
I have leave to remain. | 0:49:39 | 0:49:41 | |
That's brilliant, Amal. | 0:49:42 | 0:49:44 | |
Why didn't you tell us? | 0:49:44 | 0:49:46 | |
I can't keep protesting. Nothing we're doing is changing anything. | 0:49:46 | 0:49:51 | |
The Minister, he let us down. | 0:49:51 | 0:49:53 | |
I'm not doing it any more. | 0:49:54 | 0:49:56 | |
So let's go and tell him we haven't forgotten. | 0:49:57 | 0:50:00 | |
Let's go and tell him he needs to listen. | 0:50:00 | 0:50:02 | |
-We have to keep going. -Sorry. | 0:50:03 | 0:50:06 | |
I want to get on with my own life now. I don't want to celebrate. | 0:50:08 | 0:50:13 | |

Thank you so much for award. This means a lot to us. | 0:53:40 | 0:53:44 | |
I'm really nervous. | 0:53:44 | 0:53:46 | |
This isnae just for us. It's for our communities, | 0:53:46 | 0:53:48 | |
people who understand where we're coming from, so really, we just want | 0:53:48 | 0:53:52 | |
to thank yous and, like, this isn't just like a pat on the head for us. | 0:53:52 | 0:53:56 | |
We're going to keep going, we're going to keep going till | 0:53:56 | 0:53:58 | |
we get our point across, because if something's wrong, you change it. | 0:53:58 | 0:54:01 | |
I also want to ask Jack McConnell one question. | 0:54:01 | 0:54:04 | |
Remember when you promised us the protocol? | 0:54:04 | 0:54:07 | |
There are still asylum seekers getting deported to unsafe countries. | 0:54:07 | 0:54:11 | |
Yeah, we don't want your sympathy or your promises, we want you to act. | 0:54:11 | 0:54:14 | |
We want a new amnesty for people who have been here | 0:54:14 | 0:54:16 | |
for more than three years, because they have life in here. | 0:54:16 | 0:54:19 | |
They have friends, they have education. | 0:54:19 | 0:54:22 | |
Scotland is our home now, and we love this country, | 0:54:22 | 0:54:25 | |
we will do anything for it, but please return the favour. | 0:54:25 | 0:54:29 | |
Thank you again for this award. | 0:54:29 | 0:54:32 | |
