WITH reference to “Glasgow to welcome refugees” (Evening Times, October 2) and the person who posted online that “I am happy to hear that Glasgow is set to give a safe home to 63 refugees”.

Does he/she consider as to which area the latest refugees will be placed?

Glasgow has thousands of asylum seekers and refugees and most are accommodated in a few selected poorer districts of Glasgow.

Does he/she think those living in the selected areas will be happy to hear that they are again to be on the receiving end of the proposed 63 refugees?

How many of “those who attended the mass rally in George Square to show their support for refugees” live in the areas which accommodate asylum seekers and refugees?

How many live in Glasgow? Would they be happy to welcome thousands of asylum seekers and refugees into their areas?

AS Scottish Councils are going to be taking in refugees; what are they doing about our own people in their local areas who are on housing waiting lists, homeless, sleeping rough.

Are these refugees going to be given priority over our own people when it comes to jobs , benefits, etc as well?

Charity begins at home.

It is high time we looked after our own people first.

If we are then able to help others by all means do so.

WITH reference to the piece in the Evening Times (Police fears over Polish fans joining Tartan Army), what about the huge number of Poles who have lived here for years and want to support both sides?

Why can't they were a Poland top and a kilt and sit in the 'home end' and simply enjoy the game?

I think Police Scotland are being over cautious here, especially asking 'home supporters' not to wear Polish colours.

So much for our "multi-cultural" society.

In relation to yesterday's mouldy flat story in the Evening Times, unfortunately this is not the worst case I have heard of.

I know someone who lives in a damp private let with two children. The damp is not just on the window ledges but all over the walls.

You can smell it when you walk through the door.

The oldest child was diagnosed with asthma two years after moving in. The children also have special needs.

This family have been on a waiting list for eight years and are on the waiting list with two housing providers.

There are too many people on the waiting list for too few houses. There are also too many 'no go areas' thanks to social problems which they cannot live in reducing their choices.
