Westhill Welcomes Refugees, not Racism!
Community groups and local residents are gathering on Saturday 23 August, from 5-7pm, for a peaceful event outside the Hampton Hotel on Straik Road, Westhill. There will be food, music, colourful banners and messages of hope for the refugees living there.
Why Now? Throughout August, angry protesters have targeted people seeking asylum across the UK, standing outside their homes and shouting threats and abuse. This has happened at two hotels in Aberdeen. Westhill is their next target.
These protesters - often bussed in from all over Scotland - say it’s about local concerns. So why are they targeting vulnerable people who have nothing to do with government cuts to public services? Protesters have zero evidence for their accusations about hotel residents, who are stuck here while the Home Office deals with a backlog of paperwork, and who volunteered to clear our parks after Storm Floris.
Imagine fleeing your home, leaving everything behind to escape war or persecution, and suddenly finding yourself not only alone in a new country, but unable to go outside because a terrifying mob is threatening your life.
This is our community and we cannot let our neighbours be treated this way.
If you’re thinking, “plenty of folk will be there, I’ll go if they turn up again,” please note: Saturday will be the fifth such demonstration in our area in just three weeks - it is vital we stand together NOW and reject this message of hate!
Please join us in a spirit of friendship and compassion to say “Our Community Cares.”
Westhill welcomes refugees, not racism!
For the last two weeks in Aberdeen we have had racists targeting the refugee hotel at the links, this weekend they have moved their target to the hotel at the Lang Stracht.
The people of Aberdeen need to stop this hate, they are cynically using 'women and children' as cover for their racism and xenophobia, and attacking the most vulnerable in the city.
Saturday 16th August at 5:30 pm at the Sure Hotel off the Lang Stracht, come by with friends and show that Aberdonians will not stand for this bigotry
GIVE RACISM TWO FINGERS.
Please share and boost the event.
EXCLUSIVE: #Labour warned library cuts on Scotland's largest local authority risked worsening the country's 'shameful attainment gap'.
Chris McCall Deputy Political Editor, 02 Aug 2025
Excerpt: "Glasgow Life, which manages the library service for the council, is proposing to take 16 librarians out of the city's education system. The plans would see the school service headed up by a principal librarian along with three area-based librarians, while an 'assistant' would be placed in high schools.
"An online petition against the cuts and shared among parents has since been signed more than 1,300 times.
"Joy McLean said she was concerned about how a decline in #LibraryServices would impact her daughter and other pupils. '#Librarians are essential #educators who foster a love of #reading, support research and #DigitalLiteracy, and help students thrive #academically and personally,' she added."

Fascism in Scotland
Last Saturday a number of us were at an anti-fascist counter protest, off the back of the GB national strike protests, this was was at a refugee hotel in Aberdeen.
There was about 120 fash, 30 anti-fash and only 25 police. but they didn't get near the hotel.
So to any Aberdonians here, you need to pay attention, a lot of this stuff is being spread on other social media networks. This is what the first embers of fascism looks like, imagine what we could do if we outnumber them.
They are planning to be back this weekend We need Aberdonians out to make sure they get the message that racism is welcome in Aberdeen, please share.
