Hurrah, the aid convoy is here. Is it first aid equipment, batteries, food, clothing? Oh it’s a bag of sand….
Do they send them as pre made sand bags or send the sand and the bags seperate?
So less than 3 pallets worth then? And it took a couple of weeks to fly them there? I could have put them in a transit van and driven them there quicker.
That is an extremely “Scotland post-2014” headline.
Am I missing something? While it’s a well meaning gesture, they appear to be pre filled. Surely there’s sand and dirt in Ukraine to put in bags rather than transporting it across Europe.

“Thank god Scotland just sent sandbags, I was worried it was three pallets of Giant Haggis”!
These were donated by *Falkirk Council* on request, bit unfair to portray this as the sum total of Scotlands contribution
