Many communities in Scotland will have been bewildered by the sudden appearance of a sea of Saltires.<\/a><\/p>\n Those responsible for hoisting the flags<\/a> to lamp-posts claim to be serving the local people.<\/p>\n But it doesn\u2019t take much to scratch through to the real motivation behind the Tartan Team and others aligning their flag days with the big London demo of Tommy Robinson.<\/a><\/p>\n There is no better example than Kieran Logan<\/a>, a young Glaswegian now playing the \u201cI\u2019m no racist\u201d card.<\/p>\n Logan claims to be \u201cspeaking up for people\u201d as he vows to make \u201cbig changes\u201d in communities<\/a> \u2013 but his social media reveals his true hand.<\/p>\n He is just another petty racist<\/a>, obsessing over immigration and blaming all of Scotland\u2019s problems on immigrants.<\/p>\n He talks about gassing asylum seekers<\/a> and glories in the deaths of people crossing the channel.<\/p>\n And, rewriting history, he thinks he can detail how Hitler\u2019s<\/a> only mistake in running Germany was… the Holocaust.<\/p>\n He also speaks with warm words about his right-wing idol<\/a>, Tommy Robinson.<\/p>\n But the truth is Logan is little more than a Robinson wannabe<\/a> who makes the English rabble rouser look like an orator.<\/p>\n His delusions of grandeur have allowed him to fantasise about a time in the future when he has 100,000 followers, all prepared to back him on protests that will shake the foundations of Scottish society.<\/a><\/p>\n But he is a man who should be shouted down and dismissed. His brand of racial intolerance<\/a> and ignorance has no place in our communities.<\/p>\n Build a future<\/p>\n The number of Scots stuck living in temporary homeless accommodation<\/a> like run-down hotels or B&Bs stands at a record high.<\/p>\n Official figures show 17,240 households<\/a> were in council-funded properties in March 2025 \u2013 an increase of six per cent.<\/p>\n That number<\/a> includes more than 10,000 children. Youngsters who go to school and return to a home they might stay in for six weeks or six months. The 10,000 figure has barely changed over the last year.<\/p>\n Whatever work the Scottish Government is doing alongside cash-strapped councils, it\u2019s made very little difference<\/a> so far.<\/p>\n It was local authorities who raised the alarm by declaring homeless emergencies <\/a>in their local area, something SNPministers were less than impressed about.<\/p>\n But whatever your political viewpoint, it\u2019s appalling that 10,000 children are stuck living in unsuitable properties<\/a> where they can\u2019t plan a future.<\/p>\n Scotland needs more affordable homes<\/a>. Building them should be an urgent priority.<\/p>\n Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.<\/p>\n You’ll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.<\/p>\n No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758085594_118_0_WACOMMUNITYQR3.jpg\")
