“Celtic fans raise a banner during their Champions League match, reading: ’They can persecute you, they can arrest you, but they will not break your spirit. Gaza, Jenin, Tulkarm, Nablus... You will not walk alone.’”

What made things much worse from a Scottish point of view was that this was a battle that need never have happened.
The same could be said of most, if not all, conflicts.

Facial recognition : ’No justification’ for Police Scotland to use technology - BBC News
▻https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-51449166
MSPs have warned there is no justification for using live facial recognition following privacy and human rights concerns. A report said the software would be a “radical departure” from the current practice of policing by consent. Police Scotland said it hoped to use the software by 2026, but later put plans on hold. The technology can scan crowds of people and cross-reference faces with police databases. The report from the justice sub-committee on policing was published as part of (...)

Millions of people face the prospect of being scanned by police facial recognition technology that has sparked human rights concerns. The controversial software, which officers use to identify suspects, has been found to be “staggeringly inaccurate”, while campaigners have branded its use a violation of privacy. But Britain’s largest police force is set to expand a trial across six locations in London over the coming months. Police leaders claimed officers make the decision to act on (...)

L’intelligence artificielle fait encore parler d’elle au moment où des questions fusent sur l’éthique autour de son utilisation. À Londres, des millions de personnes ont déjà leurs visages passés au crible par un logiciel, ce, dans la plupart des cas, à leur insu. D’après la police, l’utilisation de la technologie est censée aider à retrouver les responsables des agressions voire des meurtres dont les rues de la cité sont le théâtre. Le quotidien généraliste The Independent était récemment à Stratford au (...)

Space tourists could soon be blasting off from Scotland - Quartz

The first commercial space flights from anywhere outside of the United States could be taking off from Scotland. The British government is planning to launch a port for commercial space flights by 2018, and six out of the eight potential sites in the UK are in Scotland.
(...) the spaceport would likely also facilitate rocket and satellite launches.
(...) The UK wants Sir Richard Branson to build the port in #Scotland (...) nine spaceports in the US built and designed specifically to ferry passengers back and forth for sub-orbital flights.

Spaceports can be a terrible business. Just ask Spaceport America, a Virgin Galactic project that the state of New Mexico has spent $250 million on since 2005—and has yet to see a single launch. The company, affiliated with Richard Branson’s Virgin Group, envisioned a space tourism facility that would create a hub for business in the state. But Virgin Galactic’s technological progress has been slow, the cost of space flight remains high, and the rider experience promised by Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShip Two looks relatively limited. Even when a launch comes (Branson says this year is the year, as he has since 2007) it’s not clear that there will be enough regular demand
