It's amazing how much the Brits have sold them in arms.<br /><br />It's probably England's biggest export. No wonder they are not keen on peace. <br /><br />It's also big business in France and the USA too.<br /><br />Says something, that!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-36143388054849695852015-09-05T13:57:57.183+01:002015-09-05T13:57:57.183+01:00Exactly.

That's why it's is not a suitable job for someone who has no experience of life as it is lived by 95%+ of the population.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-38809097364023072702015-09-05T13:54:09.776+01:002015-09-05T13:54:09.776+01:00Cameron has listened and is proposing to bomb the ...Cameron has listened and is proposing to bomb the hell out of Syria as it always works out well for our armaments industry and the city of London financial sector.

The plight of three-year-old Alan Kurdi, his brother Galip, five, and their mother Rehan has touched our hearts.<br /> <br />Today I convened a summit at which there was agreement to establish a taskforce to co-ordinate Scotland’s practical response to the humanitarian refugee crisis. The taskforce will engage with organisations across Scotland to establish capacity in a range of matters such as housing, language support, social services and health services.<br /> <br />We stand ready, in the best traditions of this nation, to offer sanctuary to refugees who need our help.<br /> <br /><br />Ways you can help<br /> <br />1. Put your name to a petiton<br />Sign the petition to demand action from the UK government:<br /><br />Accept more asylum seekers and increase support for refugee migrants in the UK<br />2. Attend a vigil<br />Edinburgh Sees Syria is holding a candle-lit vigil outside the Scottish Parliament on Saturday 12 September at 2.30PM.<br />Glasgow Sees Syria is also holding a vigil in George Square, also on Saturday 12 September at 2.30PM.<br />Other events will be taking place across the country. Facebook is often the best place to get up to date information.<br /> <br />3. Get involved <br />There are many national and local initiatives being established. Scotland Supporting Refugees are a group of volunteers raising awareness and campaigning for action. Many cities, towns and villages have set up local groups. Once again Facebook is the best place to find out details of what is going on in your area.<br /><br />4. Make a donation<br />Make a financial donation to a non-governmental organisation (NGO) that is doing related humanitarian work overseas. These include:<br /><br />Save the Children: distributing essential items such as nappies, hygiene kits and food<br />Red Cross Europe: providing emergency health services at central train stations<br />Migrant Offshore Aid Station: dedicated to preventing migrant deaths at sea<br />International Rescue Committee: improving living conditions by setting up camps<br />The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR): providing water, mosquito nets, tents, healthcare<br />Refugee Action: advice about claiming asylum, the asylum process, asylum support<br />World Vision: providing food, water, shelter, education and social care<br /><br />In a world looking for a simple display of common humanity, all of us can play our part.<br /><br />I ask you to do what you can.<br /><br />Nicola Sturgeon.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Nicola SturgeonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-76375883503481801142015-09-05T00:03:01.882+01:002015-09-05T00:03:01.882+01:00Maybe.

But I see the Hungarian people (not government) and Austrians are out there putting out food and water for the poor folk who have been abandoned to walk to Austria. Some arriving in trains in Vienna were greeted by people with tables out in the station with food for them.<br /><br />That's my kind of person. I could just hug every one of them.<br /><br />There are good people everywhere. Just some countries have bad governments... and Hungary and the UK (not forgetting Slovakia, are pretty shit).<br /><br /><br />Of course, Arbroath, Nicola Sturgeon is a leader, and she's first minister because she is a good leader. David Cameron, on the other hand, is a posh Eton boy who is prime minister because he went to the right school and the right university and has connections at the palace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-63218883554440426852015-09-04T23:01:28.097+01:002015-09-04T23:01:28.097+01:00Where Scotland LEADS David "the coward" ...Where Scotland LEADS David "the coward" Cameron eventually struggles up to his knees and begins to baby crawl along behind ... possibly!Arbroath 1320https://www.blogger.com/profile/13806122610041540646noreply@blogger.com
