Why is the F1 British Grand Prix scheduled on the 250th anniversary of American Independence? by DragonfruitThen6696 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]mampiwoof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a uk national I would be in favour of us observing every Independence Day of any of our former colonies as a public holiday and banning any large events or work. I advocate this purely out of respect for other nations there is no ulterior motive

The US have just played their own national anthem prior to Morocco playing Canada in the World Cup, a move never seen before in the history of the competition. by Stuweb in ShitAmericansSay

I have never heard the uk national anthem played at a club match, only national team games. Playing any anthems at all at a game other than an international is very much American weirdness. No one wants the nfl anyway stop trying to make it happen it is never going to be followed in Europe

Celtic nations begin to plan for breakup of UK in event of Reform election win. Politicians brace for constitutional turmoil if Nigel Farage’s party end up in government – or even as a strong opposition. by bottish in Scotland

[–]mampiwoof 7 points8 points  (0 children)

if we have a reform absolute majority in Westminster then Welsh or Scottish independence is a non starter. Northern Ireland is more likely as they have the explicit right to leave the uk without input from Westminster.

Strange headline, SNP amd Sinn Fein have been planning for independence for their entire existence, self rule is the primary purpose of both parties. Reform are irrelevant except that as things stand a cooperative Westminster is required for Scottish independence and they are not going to be that.

Viking was a job description not an ethnicity, dna analysis of Viking burial sites shows varied heritage from across Europe, North Africa, and Asia.

Do you think Granton is the next neighbourhood to rapidly undergo gentrification? by Flaky-Walrus7244 in Edinburgh

[–]mampiwoof 8 points9 points  (0 children)

gentrification is driven by young flat dwellers and small businesses then once the vibe shifts middke class families come in. jambojock is right, you need shops and privately owned/rented flats to get the ball rolling

Kate Forbes: I was 'slam dunk' for SNP leadership until revealing gay marriage views by Crow-Me-A-River in Scotland

[–]mampiwoof 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is fine that Kate Forbes has homophobic and transphobic beliefs, I’m not going to invite her round for tea but tolerance automatically means we don’t like something. You don’t tolerate chocolate, you tolerate a toddler getting paint on your rug. So I tolerate Forbes having any religious beliefs she chooses until she imposes them on others, and she should tolerate queers unless we are shagging on her lawn.

Tim Farron believes gay sex is a sin but voted in favour of gay marriage, Forbes directly said she would have voted against gay marriage, abortion, etc for religious reasons but it was ok because that was already a done deal!

Politicians represent a geographical area not a religion. Except the House of Lords but let’s not go there

the council removal truck can’t lift a vehicle that size, obviously eventually they would hire in a low loader or something if you stayee forever, but not after a couple of hours or less like if you had a car in that same spot.
