Lives on a Scottish island, made single malt whisky, burns wood and plants things in the garden. Left-wing liberal and "woke" whatever that means...all of my life.

Questions are being asked, but money/corruption talks, boycotts are rarely universal and alternative venues aren't available.
A lot's happened in the past few months and a lot more can happen that could determine the future of these events...and American democracy.

Yes, I remember the BBC did the same when the SNP were on the rise and won over 50 seats in Westminster and completely dominated Scottish politics for 18 years.
No wait, hold on... That's not true.They rarely mentioned the SNP unless it was to criticise, or there was a scent of scandal.

I suspect that members of SCOTUS are more frightened by his crashing the economy, and the threat to their personal wealth, than his abuse of the legal system/constitution.

For the 2nd year in a row, we're going to France by rail from the Isle of Arran (via a boat!). It takes longer, but is totally stress free. After a stopover in London, we'll be in Bordeaux next day. We always hated flying and the journey is now part of the holiday.

Away and boil yer heed, and please stay far away from engaging in the independence debate. Your toxicity isn't welcome.

What absolute rubbish. You think that your single issue interest is on the radar of voters in this constituency? If anything this issue, and the vitriol on both sides, is driving voters to Reform.
