Re: What's going on in Ukraine?
I was assuming, particularly with the context of the other names on the list, that it's because France haven't actually given all that much to assist Ukraine thus far and Macron's recent tough guy language about boots on the ground thus seems a bit empty or over-compensatory. France gets bashed a b...

Re: The Scottish Politics Thread

Re: Climate Change - Why don't we care?
lack of tax on airline fuel is a massive issue that needs to be addressed. And adding VAT to the tickets (though because it's technically 'public transport', the rules don't allow for that). At least there should be a levy on business class tickets. Read an interesting book called Zero Altitude by ...

SNP have dumped the Greens according to Lorna Slater. No doubt there'll be some mud slinging at some point. Quite the about turn from the FM after he spoke positively about the BHA yesterday.

So have the SNP or the Greens ended the Bute House Agreement? All seems a bit chaotic at the moment. If it is the Greens, do the co-leaders go as the members have voted against their opinion? If it is the SNP is this the FM trying to win over a few dissenting members of the party? Did Patrick Harvi...

Re: 6 Nations Round 4 - England V Ireland
Another fantastic finish!
Expected Ireland's usual professionalism to see them through, but not today - fair play England.
No GS but Ireland will wrap up the title easily next week.

England playing way better (and with pace) than the first three matches. Can't see them keeping it up and Ireland still odd-on to win. But great for the neutral, much more entertaining than expected
