ขาย : Today, we can prise Scotland from grip of toxic nationalism
While Kishida talked up the latest technology to fight counterfeiting, it is not a major problem in Japan. The 681 fake banknotes police detected in 2023 represented a sharp drop from a record high of 25,858 in 2004. "The machine replacement has no sales impact, so it's only negative for us, on top of rising costs of labour and ingredients," said Shintaro Sekiguchi, who spent about 600,000 yen for ticket machines at three ramen shops he runs in Tokyo.($1=161.6500 yen) (Reporting by Irene Wang; Additional reporting by Takahiko Wada; Writing by Kantaro Komiya; Editing by Clarence Fernandez and Stephen Coates) But ever since the Supreme Court confirmed that Holyrood has no authority to hold another divisive, debilitating referendum on independence, the Nationalists have been panicked into political dead ends. That doesn't mean they've stopped being a threat to the Union - it just means their rhetoric has become increasingly hysterical.
Scots have become so used to SNP dominance of our political landscape that it is difficult to remember a time when that was not the case, a time when not everything revolved around the interminable and circular debate about independence. TV and radio presenter Carol Vorderman warned she lives 'without apology' as a 'post-menopausal woman who doesn't give a damn' as she was announced as the Alternative MacTaggart speaker for the 2024 Edinburgh Film Festival The truth is that it could change everything.
True, Keir Starmer's Labour looks set to form the next government with a large majority. And Scotland looks set to contribute significantly to Labour's total of MPs for the first time in 14 years. The former countdown star-turned political activist will deliver the light hearted speech, which aims to promote debate in the television industry from an alternative viewpoint, and address the two very different stages of her career TV and radio presenter Carol Vorderman warned she lives 'without apology' as a 'post-menopausal woman who doesn't give a damn' as she was announced as a keynote speaker for the 2024 Edinburgh Film Festival.
There's the added complication that John Swinney claims his party already has such a mandate from the 2021 Holyrood elections, which begs the question of what good another ‘mandate' will do if the first one can't be delivered. This time the Nationalists are facing an existential crisis as their popularity has plummeted following a series of egregious failures and scandals: failure in their delivery of policy at Holyrood and the scandal that prompted a long-running police investigation into party finances.
The biggest lie about general elections is that they don't change anything. The truth is that votes cast today will decide not only the direction the UK goes in the next five years, but the long-term future of Scotland. Nearly 90% of bank ATMs, train ticket machines and retail cash registers are ready for the new bills, but only half of restaurant and parking ticket machines, the Japan Vending Machine Manufacturers Association said. Existing bills will stay in use, but train stations, parking lots and ramen shops are scrambling to upgrade payment machines as the government pushes consumers and businesses to use less cash in its bid to digitise the economy.
Key companies are raising workers' wages at the fastest rate in 33 years, but lingering inflation, fed by the rapid weakening of the yen currency, keeps consumption and the mood of business sluggish, recent economic data show.
