I think that BBC and STV are having those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redz Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 @aaid I'm with @Ally Bongo, questioning (Not attacking) them as to 'how' they plan to secure another vote / independence, regardless of the format, is perfectly reasonable It's why they are put in place primarily - The 'How' is above all else for me, and probably a lot of others......

I worded my previous post wrongly What i meant was a question can be put to all of them asking what is your plan when Westminster says No to your strategy Wings is a cunt - there is no doubt But in the main Yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never seen how you interact with others, that’s the usual reason, I’ve done it a few times myself. Big man though, bullying a young woman with well documented mental health issues.

PapofGlencoe Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 I don't understand the stooshie over the DRS scheme; seems to work in other countries and call me an auld fart it might keep the streets tidy. This is exactly the sort of thing Greens should be doing rather than obsessing about other things. People saying we're only a wee country but it's a chain effect. We started the green fund for African countries after COP and larger countries have followed our lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All seems to have blown up out of nowhere in January. I’d really like someone to explain what’s gone wrong and when, if indeed anything has gone wildly wrong.

Big headline yesterday saying only 15% of drinks companies have signed up , then further down the story it says that the companies that have signed up produce 90% of all drinks sold . Thats not to say smaller companies worries should be ignored but its a very misleading headline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even that big an issue. It's just a wee project tackling the tiniest tip of a massive iceberg. But it's a start. There will be teething problems and it might not stick to the original timescale but it will work eventually. As you say, it works fine in loads of other places. I've no idea why the potential leaders are letting themselves get drawn into discussing this as part of their leadership bid. It's really not that important. Anybody suggesting that the plan should be totally scrapped are just showing up their ignorance of how much work has already been done. Quite a lot of money has been invested in this already, and if it gets binned then lots of folk will be looking for financial compensation.

The election of a new First Minister happens later and even less folk get to decide that one.

Orraloon Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Wee Dougie has lost the plot. Last week he was "scared of Humza". This week he is "very scared of Kate". I don't think he will take on Ash, she is the scariest of the lot. "Fuck sake" Dougie, get a grip ,min. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, they seem to be enjoying giving a platform to the Innis & Gunn guy, who is arguing that DRS, in requiring new recycling infrastructure, ‘is not green because there’s already existing recycling infrastructure’. Reckons SG should re-invest money from alcohol tax take into existing recycling. Media should really call out these infantile, narrow-minded, short-termism arguments from business voices. Instead, they just lap it all up completely unopposed and publish the shit out of it. Someone should just call the guy out and say, ‘so basically you just don’t want any change that impacts your business, even if it’s for the long-term greater good of society and the planet. Is that it?’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
