      Literally.

      Get your arse to Scotland if you’re leftward inclined and in need of refuge from the rise of fascism. Even our police are more tolerant than most, they have tried to adopt a more rational, scientific, sociological approach rather than using the Big Stick approach. That doesn’t mean they’re perfect or don’t have issues of course, just less so than many other places.

          I couldn’t find anything specifically about disabled migration, but I did find this:

          Disabled people should have freedom, dignity, choice and control over their lives. We want to remove the barriers that stop people from enjoying equal access to full citizenship.

          https://www.gov.scot/policies/disabled-people/

          A Fairer Scotland for Disabled People (December 2016) was our delivery plan for the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) It covers the period 2016 to 2021 and aimed to make equality of opportunity, access to services and independent living a reality for all disabled people in Scotland. An easy read summary of the report is available.

          We published a progress report in March 2021 outlining key progress against each of the actions in the Action Plan. An easy read summary of this report is also available.

          Since the publication of this report both Child Disability Payment and Adult Disability Payment have been launched and we have committed to incorporating the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons, as far as possible within devolved competence with disabilities into Scots Law.

          We are working with Disabled People’s organisations and their members to develop a new Disability Equality Strategy that will build on ‘A Fairer Scotland for Disabled People’.

          https://www.gov.scot/policies/disabled-people/uncrpd/

          Over the past 5 years, in many different areas, good work that promotes and progresses the rights of disabled people has been taken forward. The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly had a disproportionate impact on disabled people and has halted some of the gains made towards equality. However, it has in some situations seen positive progress made at a rapid pace and has brought about a wider public awareness of inequality.

          To achieve equality will take more time, but the work undertaken is a good start. The next Scottish Government will have the recommendations of the Social Renewal Advisory Board and the Independent Review of Adult Social Care to consider, both of which are significantly focused on the promotion of equality and a human rights approach. In addition the National Taskforce for Human Rights recommendation to incorporate UNCRPD, as part of a new and comprehensive statutory human rights framework to be taken forward in the next Parliamentary term will further underpin the rights of disabled people in Scotland.

          https://www.gov.scot/publications/progress-report-fairer-scotland-disabled-people/pages/12/

          That would imply to me that disabled people should be treated like anyone else during the migration process. Whether the actions match the words though, I don’t know.

    That freedom feeling when you go broke and team up with the even sketchier kingdom next door to colonise half the world.
