    Are these people hoping for the First Ministers death then, is this just political banter or “Self talking” or (Mis stating Awareness) or let me dredge another precedent up from 1868 to back up my non political non personal case

    Or, to save the courts time and the taxpayers money why don’t I just go round his house and stick it on him and hurt him badly

    Well that’s a lot less than a death threat isn’t it

    I’m curious John how exactly was the First Minister supposed to ask us the sovereign people of Scotland if we wanted to accept refugees from war torn Syria into Scotland?

    More over what exactly are these poor devils supposed to do whilst the First Minister is asking the people of Scotland if we want to accept refugees into Scotland?

    Before we all get too hot under the collar about these refugees we must be able to distinguish them from other “alleged” refugees who DO want to come to UK for an “easy life”. This is something that can not be thrown at the current mass of refugees currently fleeing Syria.

    I may be wrong here but I was under the impression that ATOS were no longer involved in the disgusting “testing” of disabled people that job has been transferred to Maximus, an American company.

    I am surprised that you are so anti refugees because all the evidence that I have ever heard about refugees shows that refugees are LESS likely to sup from the spoon of benefits than those born in the U.K.

    Before you carry on shouting and going off on one about the Syrian refugees remember where the blame for their current unsavoury position lies … squarely at the feet of a certain Mr Blair. He took the UK into Iraq in 2003 without the slightest idea about what his exit strategy was. This resulted in Iraq being left in a far worse position than it was before the 2003 invasion. As a result Iraq was left in such a splintered and fractured position it was ideal for the creation of Daesh. They initially joined up with anti Asaad fighters. However this only led to Syria becoming a mirror image of Iraq. The net result was that Daesh now had such a wide area of the Middle East to try and take over. The net result is that the people in Syria and Iraq now have no idea who the “good guys” and who the “bad guys” are any more. They have only one option … flee Syria and Iraq!

    thats suggests a person who has CHOSEN to leave his country for better prospects in another country,
    would you like a wee shottie of my spirtle when I’m finished stirring my porridge?

    The people who are getting out of Syria as you well know are fleeing for their lives and its worth remembering the ones who have got out are independently wealthy enough to pay those people traffickers large sums of money to take them out by boat to Greece.

    And the reason for that is simple John, their all professional people, Jesus one was a professor on tv last night, but there are surgeons, engineers, and a myriad of people who, should we have the privilege to have them Im sure would rather die than leach off the state,

    this country is short of skilled people, the north sea oil industry cant get engineers, and you want to turn people who would bring skills WE NEED in this country away, good thinking Batman!

    Mr Moss, my constituency, Inverclyde, has a rapidly falling population. In 1921 Inverclyde boasted 142,571 people. Half a century later, that number fell to 99,551. Today, it’s 81,000, and is projected to plummet to 65,000 in 25 years. It’s little short of a crisis, to the point where Inverclyde may no longer exist in the next century – it would just be a corner of Renfrewshire, like it was before.

    Inverclyde took Italian refugees following the First World War. We hosted the Free French in the 1940s. Not only could we host a few hundred Syrians at least, it is vital that we do something to stop our population from collapsing.

    So if the rest of Scotland doesn’t want refugees, then Inverclyde could really do with a few more folk.

    At no point did I hear during the interview such phrases as ‘studies show’ or ‘the evidence points to’ etc such as one might expect from an esteemed professional academic.

    Of course he is entitled to whatever views he holds in private, but it sounded like he was being allowed to vent these personal views via the public broadcaster, and these views are then given gravitas by his title of ‘Professor’.

    I don’t know if anyone else heard this. It didn’t sound like a measured academic appraisal to me.

    Put yourself in their shoes for just a moment and consider this. They have lost their homes, some have lost their families and to save themselves have to travel great distances with no support. Being treated with contempt at every turn and who do you think caused their plight.

    The politicians did, people like that foul tory in this article and Ruthie who is happy to pose looking stupid on a tank. Because ultimately they have no conscience, happy to be part of the war machine killing and displacing people all over the globe.

    Don’t think for one moment they would not do the same to us scots who sit on a wealth of oil with the threat of leaving their precious union and shutting off the tap which keeps them rich.

    I worked at a charity sending aid to eastern europe, I saw what war does and I saw what effect it has on the youth and I give thanks my sons are not in that situation.

    Yes I collect aid for the refugees and will continue to do so with an open heart because not to help in some small way would make me no better than the Blairs and Camerons Murdochs profiting from the misery of others.

    The real terrorists are already here in Westminster plotting with their propaganda masters how to create more war. Despite PM’s announcement and news reports in the Sun, Reyaad Khan was killed in early July, not late August.

    Just for the record Nicola is the democratically elected spokes person of the SNP and the democratically elected spokesperson of the entire Scottish electorate.

    However, as the SNP government’s First Minister she has no powers to make SNP party policy. This can only be made by delegates sent to national conference by Local Branches and Constituency Associations.

    These delegates are charged with representing the views of the party members at conference. So Nicola has indeed not asked the sovereign people of Scotland, but the sovereign people of Scotland have already told her what policies she must follow”.

    O/T

    Today on bella caledonia there is an article titled ‘Long May She Reign’.

    Towards the end of the article there is a link to a 2007 article by Andy Wightman regarding the ownership of The Balmoral Estate.

    Towards the end of that article he states that ownership of several Crown Estate properties including Edinburgh and Stirling Castles and Holyrood Park was transferred to The SoS of Scotland in 1999 and on Devolution passed to the then Scottish Executive subsequently The Scottish Government.

    In spite of pressure over the years to replace The Union Flag with The Saltire on Edinburgh Castle we have repeatedly been told that it was impossible as The Castle was a UK Military Establishment.

    If it is the case that The Castle belongs to The Scottish Government can I suggest that they borrow a word from Gen. McAuliffe at Bastogne in 1944 and say loudly ‘NUTS’, take down The Union Flag, hoist The Saltire and invite The Army to take a hike if they don’t like it.

    Agreed Nana. This reads like a piece of disinformation with two functions – to ram home the PUTIN BAD meme and to help people forget that this mess in Syria started with covert support from the West.

    There will be a lot of old scores getting settled in the Ukraine, all in support of Washington’s ambition to undermine Russia, to encourage further privatisation of Europe’s social infrastructure and other reasons.

    Craig Murray has a few excellent articles recently. For example the one on why Rupert Murdoch is whipping up support for air strikes against Syria? Because he and Rothschild have shares in Israel’s plans to exploit oil in the illegally occupied Golan Heights. One comment spells out the other shareholders:

    “This from 2013:

    ‘Raytheon stock nears all-time high amid news of possible cruise-missile strike in Syria

    Stock shares of perennial defense contracting powerhouse Raytheon hit nearly $77 apiece Tuesday as news of a possible US strike in Syria intensified. The US has said if it strikes Syrian government targets for alleged use of chemical weapons, it would likely use Tomahawk cruise missiles from warships positioned in the Mediterranean. Raytheon is responsible for making and selling the bulk of the long-range, subsonic missiles to the US government.’…

    “US goes to war, they the politicians get return on investments from the very instruments that do the killing.”

    If such comment were directed to Prime Minter David Cameron anyone could expect a very loud knock on the door with a battering ram.

    But it seems it is fair game to tell lies, tweet inuendo and throw about gratuitous insults to First Minster Nicola Sturgeon.

    Exactly when was Nicola made an Outlaw and removed from legal protection?

    I think this sort of kind of perhaps maybe falls under the heading of “Who knew … I mean WHO knew?” Apart that is from US that is! 😀

    P.S. I didn’t know we STILL had any military presence in Scotland. I thought with all the defence cuts that Cameron and co. are so much in favour of that we only had a couple of soldiers, a couple of sailors a couple of airmen and a Tiger Moth aircraft. 😀 I may be wrong here of course! 😉

    I am sorry Lesley Anne, I forgot about questioning the viability of life within any Tory, particularly given how they are treating the unemployed, sick, and disabled in our society.

    However what made me angry reading his comment, is this, when I was in the guards, Aldershot camp was attacked by the IRA, I don’t remember now how many were killed or injured, also the camp I was based at received a bomb alert as well.

    It turned out to be false alarm, though the camp was bombed a few months later and the damage was superficial and thankfully no one was killed or injured.

    Chortle – I know. It’s hilarious eh.. Emailing Ruth to condemn such marvelous work form Party Members on-line.. Pah!

    I’m not holding my breath though. But as one of MSP’s she does at least have a duty to reply to me (you’d think..)

    She’ll reply after they’ve trawled the interweb for dirt on me.. Such lovely people.

    Councillor suspended over Islamic State Nicola Sturgeon comments

    A Conservative councillor has been suspended by his party after apparently making comments on Twitter about First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and so-called Islamic State.

    Councillor Gordon McCaskill said he would like to see refugees fleeing Syria and accommodated by Ms Sturgeon turn out to be members of the terrorist organisation.
