ParisInAKilt Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Its the general vibe i am receiving from the many oil platforms i travel too,, i am sick fed up trying to defend the snp to people who say they "will not recieve my vote again" i cant be the only one on here who has came across this??? the commebt she made about taking a refugee into her house keeps coming up time and again... I dont gree with their stance on the refugee crisis myself so its hard fir me to defend them Don't defend them then. You can't agree with everything a political party's does or says. Sure I see anti refugee stuff a lot. Sometimes I counter it with arguments but mostly just ignore it because it's depressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont gree with their stance on the refugee crisis myself so its hard fir me to defend them You don't need to defend them if you don't want to. It doesn't matter what party you choose to vote for (or be a member of) you won't agree with every policy they come up with. Do you think Nicola agrees with every current SNP policy?

Squirrelhumper Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 This isis situiation is going to have an impact on people's loyalties to the SNP... Many wont like the stance which sturgeon has chosen..IMO the clever political thing would have been to keep her head down and say as little as possible...I dont know about anyone else but the snp's posturing around the refugee crisis/imigrants ect has received a less than warm welcome from members of the party i know.. There are 7 people i know who have canceled their membership and two independence supporting friends on face book have said they are glad we never got independence due to her stance!!sturgeon has not got the political intelligence that salmond has!! Theres no way he would have popped his head above the parapet as she has done,,, its very naive if you ask me...we will win this holyrood elections but i only see bad thing from then on in,,, Aye he would. Salmond was becoming a liability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Stories on STV news there about Scottish muslims being abused in public. If Nicola Sturgeon's words help put a lid on that kind of thing then they have been worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biffer Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 You don't need to defend every policy of a party because you will never agree with every policy of a party. The question to ask is 'it's more important to you for Sturgeon not to have a refugee in her house or for your kids to receive a good education?'

ParisInAKilt Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 What does Mr Loon propose the international community do about the refugee crisis instead? Send the people back to Syria while we help bomb the out of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamia Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Apparently there is talk of them playing La Marseillaise at all premier league games this weekend in England. Deary me. I am actually finding this more divisive than anything else. It is really coming across like we only care if 'we' are affected. This is particularly reinforced by the fact that many are now showing such a lack of compassion for people fleeing this exact same violence but on a much greater scale.
