Craig has the high quality followers you'd expect. No docks in London ever shut down, eh? Though the stock exchanges is a new one on me. I'm surprised to see how many there are in some countries, but I reckon 3 in Scotland would be pushing it.

Isn't this down to a broadcast deal with the SFA?

Seemed to be bought by Premier Sports which has been transferred to Viaplay, SFA must have been happy with it as the Channel 4 got access to England games.

I’m not sure when it all changed as England used to end up in the same type of deals

Craig actually calls himself a "historian" in his bio these days. Alas no room to mention that WIlliam was King of Scotland. Not taught in schools in Scotland to this day, apparently.

Had forgotten about Craig. He's apparently turned up at the UN as an unofficial Scottish delegate. Hopefully these "diplomats" are ushered away before Craig tells them his position on Russia.

Would he even be allowed in the building with all the VIPs? I imagine he's standing outside, handing his stuff out to secretaries who smile and "will definitely pass it on to the relevant party".

Hey, good kindling is hard to find.

More on what he's doing at the UN. The answer seems to be "we're doing lots behind the scenes, honest". No idea who's paying for him to hang about in New York- a place that isn't famous for being cheap. Like someone BTL, I foresee a "we're about to make a breakthrough" fundraiser.

He talks about "bilateral lobbying". Bi-lateral implies two sides negotiating, not one side being pestered by a man and a dog, who are completely ignored by the country they say they're lobbying for. Do we really think eg India (who are on the committee) are "lobbying" Craig?

There are 24 countries on the Decolonization Committee. By my count, 9 of them are former British colonies. They may have a different view of Scotland's relationship with colonialism to Craig. I wonder what they'll make of Scotland having just elected a big majority of MPs from the "colonial" parties.
