What's going on here is that you're desperate to pick holes in anything 'woke', so started out by suggesting that no-one, 'including the council', knows what companies the motion will target. You framed that as a question because you assumed no-one would be able to answer (the famous 'virtue signalling'), so now that you've been given some immediate answers, which are obvious to anyone who's lived in Edinburgh at any point in the last twenty years, you've moved onto some abstract issue of what constitutes quality journalism. If that was the issue, which it wasn't, I agree - a better article would be one that communicated to lay readers/pish-stained jakeys something about which businesses stand to lose out.

Pondy you do have a habit of when someone answers a question directly that maybe you were hoping there wasn’t an answer to, instead of saying, thanks for letting me know, you then bring up something else you don’t like. In this case modern journalistic standards.

Sometimes you just have to say “ah ok, I didn’t know that, thanks for informing me”.

Perhaps that has been your interpretation but I read the link you kindly provided, and was disappointed by the lack of substance. They're not the only ones, you see it all over media, including from the so called elite institutions like the beeb, a failure to drill into the issue, and ask pertinent questions , that educate.

I want answers, to questions that are often never asked. Leonardos is I assume the old Ferrantis/BAE systems on Ferry Road, the one where they've significantly beefed up with razor wire in the past five yrs, yeah?

I haven't looked at Morphs link yet but I'm surprised ScotGov are dishing out cash to weapons systems components manufacturers tbqh. Can't imagine they need whatever paltry handup we give them.

The answer I was hoping for was from the council chap, in the article, and not from the TH fam, though it is appreciated. Questions can of course be framed in a way to elicit more than one or the most obvious answers.

Anyway, thanks for being civil. Unlike that wee cunt that fancies himself a bit.

Pity you're too thick to separate a referendum vote from a party vote.

Did you think it might magically appear if you asked on this thread? Stop talking out of your arse.

Me when I just wish the journalist had asked and am certainly not trying to dismiss the motion itself.

Is there some sort of algorithm manipulation when these guys pull out their wee cardboard picture diagrams at these sort of speeches? Guessing because it ends up becoming thumbnails and headline photos etc?

See it with trump as well but I can never remember normal politicians ever cracking these out.
