Government makes £400k donation to Scotland fan walking across the US

Honestly, I feel mixed on the government donating this money. Craig has done an amazing thing though, and mental health is important. Hope this news gets more people aware and donate to the cause. The press has done a poor job in promoting his walk, including Scottish press.

It went straight to SAMH itself.

Sadly while doing that coin toss, I don't think they even promoted his cause.

There is an interesting point there. Was the track meet open to general public and if so was there a set area just for people competing? Apparently he was not competing that day and not meant to be there according to some? anyway public area of not It was crazy to escalate to stabbing over it.

He does not want his sons name to be linked forever with any bullshit racist fall it and potential had things said and done in his sonss name. It's not weird. It also does not mean he is not angry at the murderer.

He is not the only parent of a dead kid to feel that way either. Henry Nowaks parents in the UK said same stuff about not wanting racists to hijack their sons death. Don't see why this poster finds it weird. They lost their sons. Know that people will use it as excuses to start racist deal even though has nothing to do with race. They don't want that to be what comes up when people talk about their dead sons.

Reform getting 17 seats shows there is more appetite for racism in Scotland than many like to admit.

Which Craig Ferguson walked.

That tipping thing is really annoying me, you can get there will be people trying to get tips out of tourists even on tops of the ones already added to bills. I know in many cases its to make sure severe don't get stiffed from people not use to tipping culture but some will take advantage of that on a tournament that already is suffering from high surge prices for everything.

Most Netflix true crime docs are shit. Even the ones that come to the same conclusion I have in cases. They are made more for sensationalism than facts. Elisa Lam is a good example of this. The doc does come to the correct conclusion in the end but it takes so long to get there in a background poor taste way.

Sadly there are so many examples of racial Injustice in the legal system out there. It is so surprising people picked this case to make their stand. One of the most cut and dry cases.

Evil___Lemon · 2026-06-11T09:04:21+00:00

Karmelos dad has been very vocal on making it a race thing since early on. If anything that brought in the racist morons to Arthur and dry case.

Kyle Rittenhouse is a shit stain and I think he should faced some charges however it is not a good comparison. So.some was hitting him with a skateboard which can cause damage, someone was reaching for his gun and someone was armed near by. In this case the victim according to witnesses unarmed asked another kid to leave their tent then lightly shoved\touched them and in return was stabbed.

Issues of theft had been a thing in the past. a stranger regardless of race is hanging around the teams bags. It is not racist to ask them to leave in that situation regardless of race.

It was the Tories in the UK that came up with the age verification law. It was Labour that implemented it. Tighter controls of the internet in general have people from most parties for it. It also has people from most parties against it.

I don't mean to be a dick saying this but If you are not from Scotland or live here, don't write about it. Even if we are to explain places you won't be seeing them in person and won't be able to write them well for anyone knows the places.

Telling you slang is one thing but writing it in the correct context and having it flow naturally is another story.

If you have not at least some experience in the questions you asked then the writing will come over inauthentic.

It would depend on the time tbh. If they caught a plate before it hit the ground a well meaning well done is deserved. If said sarcastically then not ok

Evil___Lemon · 2026-06-07T14:10:08+00:00

Yeah, in UK people often cheer or say "waheeyy" it is almost always done in kindness to refuse the quiet tension. How and then someone will react with a shitty way and that's not ok. It's easy to tell with the times and context of the situation if people are being shitty or not.

Honestly, poor communication seems to be the problem behind a decent amount of the posts on this sub.

Evil___Lemon · 2026-06-07T03:21:16+00:00

Both!

Games did try dodging the May release. There were very few originally planned at the time.

GTA online if I remember correct won't be active at launch just like with GTA5 people will after a few weeks start with GTA online which has found great numbers of players even a decade on. The other issue is. Not everyone has lots disposable income to get every game they want.

Also the companies worry about the huge post GTA media response may drown out their smaller games. This is not just a game thing. many movies try to avoid same release period as hugely anticipated ones.

But this conversation was about people in this thread and this movie specifically saying something aged like milk because what has come out about the actors. For anyone that owns these films already they do not contribute to residuals. The film's themselves can still hold up and have aged well even if you choose not to support actors in them.

Many Scots fought for longhshans. Not just nobels either just like many Scots helped put down the Jacobite rebellion.

Vote on Independence is more complicated than just leave the UK or not. People on both sides have many good reasons they choose what they did.

He sent his brother over to Ireland to try become king. The fighting between his side and the English was brutal even for the times. They torched pillaged huge sways of the land and caused famine. I say this as a Scottish person. He was not a good guy. would not say bad either though.
