“The Scottish government is expected to officially accept Australia’s offer at Monday’s meeting, clearing the way for Glasgow to host, as the city successfully did in 2014.

Blame Dirty Dan -

he put us into 100s of $billions of debt.

Even our great grand children will not be able to pay it off.

And he was prepared to send you down the other debt trap Chinese Belt & Road Scheme.
