You read the Scottish Government’s response last week when a Glasgow business won £40m worth of export income, shared with others in their sector from Dingwall to Kilmarnock? Celtic’s Champions League success this month has been phenomenal economic news for Glasgow in particular, and Scotland in general, but it would break the Scottish Government scarcely concealed agenda towards Celtic for them to acknowledge the contribution to our economy.
Instead they peddle some hoary old trash in attempting to defend their thoroughly discredited Offensive Behaviour’ Act, which sought to “equalise” supporters behaving lawfully with those behaving in a sectarian manner.
The Government, which for years placed great political capital into respecting the will of the Scottish Parliament, suddenly decided Parliament’s voice could be ignored by Government, when the chamber voted to repeal the Act in November.
It would choke these people to acknowledge Celtic’s contribution to the country’s economic welfare. They want your votes, they don’t want to listen to you, or Parliament, or any other body who may represent you, unless you conform to a cultish utopian vision.
We live in the age where governments across the globe bang the Bogeyman Drum, while indulging in crass selective seeing and hearing. This Tartan-Peronist outfit would be wise not to cherry-pick how they tackle Celtic supporters, or our club.

SETTING FREE THE BEARS FOR RES. 12 & OSCAR KNOX on 29TH AUGUST 2017 12:27 AM
Is this VVD rumour being reported officially?
=================================================
Officially on CQN. So it must be true.

This is not the first time North Korea have fired a missile over Japan.
The last one was eight years ago, and everyone held their nerve.
Whoever is running the USA should muzzle Trump for a while and we should be fine.

War with North Korea makes no sense for anyone, have you seen how close to the border Seoul is?
Worldwide recession would follow, trouble with China and Russia, and of course the end of North Korea.
Nobody wins, so it won’t happen.
Sabre rattling.
Welcome home Paddy Bhoy.
Delighted.
PSG are getting it.
The whole World will be watching Celtic v PSG.
Celtic will be putting on a Show.
I hope the odds are long. ;)

The eight years of silence from the Obama White House fuelled the recklessness of Kim .
Not to mention the expansionism of Putin.
Or the Chinese island creation in the South China Sea.
Deja vu.

What would you do about the Chinese expansion into the South China Sea?
Politics aside, I am fascinated by it.
I’ve been watching them grow over the years, and it is aggressive, but only in the way the US has bases all over the world.
DD,
Another couple of frames in the Celtic Place?
I know I’d end up Huggy Bein’ it.

==============================================================================
US bases. Yes. But , they have had those for decades of years.
The problem is when there is change in the status quo. ie expansionism.( eg Golan heights )
The relevance of the South China Sea ” created ” islands is that it affects sea lanes and flight paths.
It`s a major provocation. Particularly to the other nations in the area. Vietnam , the Phillipines , Thailand , Japan.
Nothing can be done now .
Prevention may have been possible , but Obama was asleep at the wheel . ( Viz Syria )
An even bigger potential problem is the Chinese colonisation of parts of Africa .
Major problems stored up for the future.
Economic sanctions are a possibility , but those are what caused Japan to attack Pearl Harbour .
Trump has real issues to deal with .
Not to mention domestic problems.

My son was born on the 7. The rest of the family were born on 5 or 25.

One of the greatest pleasures I had in Lisbon in May, was meeting Margaret McGill. John was the intelligent, humorous Tim I suspected he would be. His bro Morrissey is a champion too.

“Nothing can be done now”
Well as a wee country, Scotland, UK, Australia, we just watch the US dictate everything.
China is an unknown quantity.
We know America is brutal and domineering, China could be worse.
Or better.
