| Comment | So, BBC Scotland had a good piece about it ages ago. They were saying that every host, without fail, ends up hating it. The host (sic prior to nominees) would definitely be somewhere the Conservatives don't care about because it's total death for locals, and they get mad about diversions, which last a lot longer than TV makes out.
They had a political science guy on who said the obvious play for Scotland was it's good for EU ties, but that's really it; there's no evidence that hosting helps local economy particularly. Largely, it's extended periods of all the local hotels being booked up by security.
So I've genuinely no strong stance, but it seems a dodged bullet perhaps. |
