UK’s first drug consumption room to open in Glasgow

It’s been four years since then-first minister Nicola Sturgeon called Scotland’s drug deaths problem a public health emergency.

Today, the current first minister John Swinney arrived at The Thistle drug consumption room in Glasgow.

When it opens on Monday, it will be the first and only place in the UK where people will be able to take drugs without fear of arrest.

The Scottish Government hopes it will help drug users access wider support, as well as reduce the risk of viruses such as HIV.

‘DEATH to Trump…’: Man SCREAMS ‘Bomb the Plane’ Mid-Air, Arrested After Scuffle in Scotland | VIDEO

Mid-air panic struck an EasyJet flight from London Luton to Glasgow when a man screamed, “I’m going to bomb the plane,” triggering alarm among passengers. He was also heard yelling, “Death to America, death to Trump,” and “Allahu Akbar.” The shocking outburst was captured on video, now viral on social media. A male passenger quickly subdued the suspect before police arrested the 41-year-old upon landing in Glasgow. He remains in custody as counter-terrorism units examine the footage. Scotland Police confirmed investigations are ongoing. The airline, however, maintained that the safety of the passengers and flight was never compromised. Interestingly, the incident occurred just as former U.S. President Donald Trump was in Scotland finalizing a major trade deal with EU chief Ursula von der Leyen. The timing and nature of the incident have raised security concerns as authorities dig deeper into the suspect’s motivations and background. #DeathToTrump #FlightBombThreat #EasyJet #ScotlandNews #AirlineScare #PlaneTerror #BreakingNews #AllahuAkbar #DonaldTrump #TrumpInScotland #TerrorAlert #MidAirDrama #UKPolice #GlasgowFlight #PassengerArrested #CounterTerrorism #PlaneChaos #ViralVideo #TrumpNews #FlightSecurity ~HT.410~GR.125~
