Home weekends we often see it. Too many distractions

I agree that a stronger presence outside the big 8 countries is important. Hence why we invited Italy, Argentina, Japan, and Fiji to major tournaments every year.

And the USA offers a potential for growth. But so does Spain. And Romania. And Georgia. And Canada. And Uruguay. And Chile. And Portugal.

Which tbh I'd invest in any of those before the USA today. Finals weekend for the Nations cup in Madrid anyone? Bucharest? Santiago? Toronto?

£3k since brexit seems very under rated to me. We have gone nowhere but backwards since leaving the EU. Why would that be mince? Does he not understand what GDP is? It isn't cash in your pocket, it is overall spend per person. Personal spending, governments spending, third sector spending all on our behalf. And, we're lagging in growth of all of these since leaving the EU

What an awful idea. The six nations is about heritage, prestiage, rivalries and traveling fans. Not fucking America.

We have this new tournament, let the finals weekend be in Chicago or Phili for that. Not the six nations

If I was Swinney my manifesto for next WM would consist of just a single page.

"The SNP has a strong and long record and we can demonstrate our values and principles through our long history of action, both in and out of government. The next election we stand on that great providence, as well as a single overriding issue that has defined our party and continues to dominate the political landscape, despite what our opponents would wish. That issue was asked of us a generation ago now and many things have changed in the world. It is now the time to revisit that decision.

"A vote for the SNP is a vote for a referendum on Scottish Independence."

Drop mic

Same problem with WM elections. And Opinion Polls are pay for results. The only clear cut way seems to be a poll for a poll currently. Or: Holyrood is given that power and it is in manifestos.

Could make the same argument for MPs however. If the SNP stood on a Westminster vote for SNP is a vote for a referendum, how then could that mandate be ignored?

Guess what, they have ignored that!

[-] Olap@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

A generation is often taken to be 20 years. We're not far already. Personally I'd have Holyrood the power to decide to call a referendum on the topic, with the UK government being then bound to publish a section 39 within the current parliamentary term

Weasel words, no legal footing, unprecented, and lacking in clarity. Yup, it's a PM comment on self rule. Still, at least he acknowledges that Scotland has the right to decide in some fashion. A step up from the last few PMs.

Now, Sinn Fein have to do us a favour and find out the real route to that border poll. As it looks set that Scotland has to follow that route.

The Enterprise was originaly designed the wrong way up. But Gene saw the mistake and went: that's cool, we're keeping it. Totally impractical for planetary landings, obviously fragile, but damn it looks cool still 60 years on

With Sutherland's port dreams gone SaxaVord makes sense to invest in finally. Fingers crossed for launches soon!

UK GDP maybe 2.5tn. So like 0.5% of one year's spending. Just hand it over ffs and be done with it

Nobody wants these anywhere near them. The only way to make them palatable looks to be literally sink them in the sea. My advice: the desert instead

A poor decision. Aberdeen will be rejoicing, but the planet doesn't need it, the rest of Scotland doesn't need it, and the UK doesn't need it

Very well in short! Bus usage growing steadily for the last few years. New operators. New routes. Buses are cool
