Doc Rob is right. 'Once in a generation' was stated, this is true, however had Brexit not been a thing then we wouldn't be having this conversation. The SNP campaigned fair and square on their Brexit stance, as the result was a fundemental change to Scottish real politik, they were duly elected and...

Not sure it's desperation Doc Rob it's just you can't have endless referendums until you get the "right" result. It was said to be the once in a lifetime opportunity. It hasn't been a lifetime. Don't be disingenuous. Why should the SNP be bound by a remark that I expect you know fine well was never...

Tourism industry to open on July 15th will be interesting. Do we know what it covers yet? Hotels, pubs, restaurants, campsites?

Great screen shot here. This is worldmeters with the active cases low to high selected. Of the countries which can be bothered recording active cases, New Zealand heads the list as best performing eradicator. https://i.imgur.com/eSzwr5l.png?1 That's a world beating screen shot for sure Top class sc...

Have to agree on the bolded bit, it's a big worry. I mentioned earlier in this thread about SE/SDI being deliberately moved away from any kind of working relationship with UK Gov departments and being politically aligned with the SNP. That is really going to come and bite us on the arse. They are c...

Off course we need increase in immigration to sustain our economy and grow the working age population, and of course these workers should bring their families and settle here. They work in poorly paid jobs to sustain our care sector and look after our mums and dads, grannies and grandpas and contri...

FFS Slick I can't believe I've just read that! I can't believe you've written that and actually believe it. Perhaps you want to describe your 'solution' to the problem?

And here we go.... any debate on the subject shut down with an emotional reaction.

I'm interested to hear more about why you are not convinced that diversity is not something to be desired?

I was surprised the international trans crew hadn't made them grovel about the Ladyeeee sketch already I was watching the friends episode with Chandler’s dad recently and pretty much all of the jokes were transphobic by today’s standards - recent enough too.

BBQs in the carpark for a winter game in Scotland is bold :lol: . I agree there's no significant grudge between teams because people are Scotland rugby fans before they are club rugby fans. I also think they should make it cheaper and give free tickets to rugby clubs. :lol: I was actually thinking ...

Id prefer a return to something like the old Celtic League with perhaps an A competition that runs at the same time rather than further expansion. The only reason we are talking about the SA and RG teams is because of money. Not to strengthen rugby in each of the countries or anything like that. Te...

I think Bidens latest speech appealing to Trump voters to see through the bullshit that he is working for them and that he is only working to cling on to power could be quite effective. Who knows.

So feedback from various friends and relatives across Scotland seems to be broadly that English people are appearing as they are blissfully unaware things are different here, and the Scottish ned is out in force (not to say others are not also breaking regs, but the neds seem to be doing so with gu...

Slick, Feel free not to answer but do you find the bribery and corruption act a barrier for companies looking to do business in Africa?

If there's one thing the EU is good at, it's hard-nosed Realpolitik - look at their complete and utterly shameful silence when Spain decided to deal with Catalonia Franco-style.

You just know Hogg will get battered by flailing Irish arm and be out of the tour before it starts.

Plus, if any Scots do play well it will just feed into Gatlands narrative about being decent at home but shite away from home. Lose/Lose.

Would probably go for the occasion mind.

In saying all that, once Brexit has gone away it wouldn't hugely surprise me if some encouraging noises were forthcoming, particularly if the UK continue to antagonise. Europe might see it as the start of a process to re-absorb the UK in smaller, bite-sized pieces? I was thinking more along the lin...
