It seemed to be sturgeon he had the problem with, he said had we been independent just now that she would have flooded the place. I explaining that the snp have no say in imigrtion matters at the moment to which he was fully aware.to be honest its a lose-lose regardless of her stance -
Refugee Crisis
hampden_loon2878 replied to Mox's topic in Anything Goes - Other topics not covered elsewhere
From my experience most people are very concerned about the influx of refugees, a close freind who has always been a snp man turned round and said the snp will not be recieving his vote this time round, i have heard other mutterings from other snp voting associates... This whole situation has the potential to stir up politics as we know it from local, scottish, national and the whole eu... Im affraid the tories will come out of this looking like a strong party willing to make tough decisions... -

I never claimed it was driven by nationalism only stated a lot of voters would have voted yes who were nationists... I am also trying to point out the voters who were not that politically engaged but votes yes because "am scottish" it will be those types of voters who will be put off of nicola... It wont help the MSM paint a picture of the situation as they are bot that politically educated. We need a structure in place for the crisis... Thats all i will say on this matter as i will be lynched by the PC MOB -

Well maybe if you stepped out of the tamb bubble you appear to live in you may have a different take on this. Regardless of what anyone says a large amount of yes voters were driven by the idea of nationalism,,, she may well isolate these voters(many would welcome this) there is not the widespread approval of the refugees as some on here would paint -

From my face book page it appears many snp/yes supporters along with the usual unionists are getting pritty annoyed the stance of sturgeon,,,many on here know my stance on mass migration, this is of course is different, if i were in the refugees potion i would look for a safe sanctuary also but it does come across as if she is just trying to say the right thing whitout looking deeper into the subject .It also comes across as if she just goes against anything the tory government say ir do regardless if they are right or wrong... I would like to see how many memberships have been canceled in the past teo weeks.My guess is a lot -

I know in normal circumstances this would be the case, but this is not a normal refugee influx we are receiving, a five year visa type card should be given out with a review at the end of it,,, by that time the dust will have hopefully settled and a clearer picture of the situation and who has actually claimed refuge and then we could decide if it is merited.. -

So if we accept tens of thousands of refugees, do they then return home when their home lands are safe? -

my friend from skye who may i add is a massive independence supporter just added this to the debate "The current idea for small communities is not to divide funding but to keep it together, rather than building a new school why not carry on the same way in a school that is still fit for purpose, in a way its like the non denomenational arguement with schools and catholic schools, but with languages, the kids are kids, friends not seeing friends during school time and as you say doric is dying out but the other scots languages and dialects get nowhere near the press that one language takes, do you hear about Norn getting the same up in shetland or Lowland scots, if one gets then all should gaelic medium in schools with English speaking kids should be the norm, not splitting communities which is happening on Skye just now" i dont know enough about the situation to comment -

Migration To Europe

Here goes the PC mob again,,, gives me the "vibe" of an elite TA member the wrong side of 60,,, who have no other concerns other than how much away point they have,,, i truely hope i am wrong but there you go,,, its my opinion to give -
Migration To Europe
hampden_loon2878 replied to Rossy's topic in Anything Goes - Other topics not covered elsewhere
there needs to be a points system and limit to the amount of migrants are allowed into the uk... It i simply nit sustainable,,,, it will IMO lead to massive unrest within the next 20 years -
Who Owns Scotland?

Currently half way through this book, i have just read finish the book "dance called america"which was about the clearances...the poor had no lawyers is an aye opener,, i just wonder what will come of the land reform bill,, -
I am as staunch a snp supporter as you get and to be honest this is causing me a bit of distress as i have in general agreed with most policies they have implemented.... Maybe the mpa's are the right thing to do in the long term, I think the consultation closes today, but creelers have been pushing for it for past ten years getting trawlers kicked out of areas(my father in law being one of them)open deck scallopers ie the majority of west coast ones are all going to be affected in winter time when a lot of the time they tuck right into shore lines, its bad news for a lot of boats, wont affect the 60ft and above classes that are fully sheltered but I would say that its going through and to hell with boys trying to earn a pound in the winter time, summer time should be alright but who knows what else will go through after the first lot, creel boats are pushing for 1-2 mile limits for trawlers again as well which again is bad news for the trawl sector,,,maybe have the mpas only in the summer months....
