I REALLY will not respond to DMs unless I know you.
And, as the research shows, that 'cost' is not just fiscal: it is also likely that it will affect the health of Scots. Never mind. I'm sure that any new nuclear facility will be well looked after - just like the pipes which leaked radioactive materials into Long Long...
Nuclear is neither clean nor safe nor needed in Scotland yet WM would impose more of these power stations on us and expect us to pay our share of the cost.

Top 1% US researchers find ‘significantly increased cancer incidence’ for those living near nuclear power plants at a level that would mean an additional 10 000 avoidable cancer cases 30km around Hunterston if Scottish Labour get their way talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/12/19/t...

There's no surprises, here. Beyond comprehension why Reform are popular in the UK. They are appealing to the worst part of us, supported by much of our MSM. What will it take, I wonder, to make the afflicted people come to their senses?
Come on Scotland! See them for what they really are.

And, of course, it's very clear that England wants something radically different from Scotland - and much worse!
Next May it is imperative that we keep the anti-Scottish unionist parties from getting power at HR. Our future is at stake.

I have to say that teachers in schools are not allowed to be overtly political in any way that could sway the opinions of children. Had I been working in that school, I would not have participated in this Starmer propaganda exercise. Further, the claims made do not stand up to scrutiny.

Starmer is following the lemmings' charter. Keep heading for the cliff until we fall off the edge. We all know Brexit is an economic catastrophe but still they don't try to rejoin. It was in their manifesto that they wouldn't... Could this be the only manifesto pledge that Labour have kept? 🤔

I cannot comprehend why the MSM in the UK continue to call Trump's latest Ukraine 'initiative' a peace plan. It is not. It is a 'surrender to tyranny plan'. Time for Europe to build its own alliance and consider leaving NATO to the US until they get rid of the orange felon.
