This is the 4th Indygal blog, each follows a different chapter in my life. This one started when I found myself suddenly elected as an SNP Member of the Scottish Parliament for Glasgow in Feb 2009.
No 1 in the Politician's Blog Awards
November 2010 - the fight goes on for Precious and her mum
If you want to help this lovely wee girl and her mum stay in Scotland (and, more importantly, stay together) here's what you can do.
Write now to the NEW Home Secretary and tell her why you believe Precious and her mum should be allowed to stay.
You can find lots of information on this blog by searching on either of their names and there are so many reasons why they should be allowed to stay.
Please write to
Theresa May MP, Home Secretary, Home Office, Direct Communications Unit, 2 Marsham Street, London SW1P 4DP.
Please remember Florence's desire that all letters be respectful.
You can also donate money by sending a cheque made payable to Cranhill World Cafe to Cranhill Church, 109 Bellrock Street, Cranhill G33 3HE.
Thank you!
