It is estimated that the full cleanup and decontamination of Dounreay nuclear power station will take 300 years. Yet Westminster now wants to build *more* nuclear power stations in Scotland.

Scotland - the coldest part of the UK - has the highest elecricity prices not only in the UK but in Europe.
Despite generating more renewable electricity than we could ever use. Almost like our inflated prices are subsidising cheap power for the south-east, isn't it?

I hope that the dissolution of the UK is amicable, and that Scotland and England will come through the process fairly and still be good friends. If England decides instead to make it 'as bad as Brexit' then that sort of bullying will at least explode the 'precious family of nations' myth.

Slightly extreme perhaps? But then by not introducing safe and legal routes to the UK for asylum seekers - which it could readily do - you could easily argue that Labour is responsible for this sort of outcome...
