AI Data Centres are a Labour & SNP scam to ensure machines & distant corporations get priority to cheap electricity at the expense of the people. Of all the resource thefts Scotland has endured, this might yet be the biggest & most blatant. theguardian.com/technology/202…

A monstrous AI Data Centre is proposed for a greenfield site in a picturesque Fife village. The Auchtertool data centre is over 8 double decker buses high, over 50 football pitches in area & will consume the electricity of over half the homes in Scotland. thenational.scot/politics/26184…

Toxic Labour wants to build new nuclear power stations in Stirling and Fife 🥀☢️ Utterly absurd, if the Romans had nuclear power we’d still be guarding the waste. thenational.scot/news/26241825.…

To help object to the Auchtertool data centre, attached is an easy step by step guide. This data centre is: - on a greenfield site - over 8 double decker buses high - over 50 football pitches in size - emits the heat of 600,000 electric bar fires, all constantly switched on! - will consume the electricity of more than half the homes in Scotland. Fife Council has not asked for an Environmental Impact Assessment and looks set to wave it through.

A group of Edinburgh pensioners have marked Scotland’s return to the World Cup by walking 3070 miles - the distance from Edinburgh to Boston. The ‘Leith Legends’ completed the final leg of their challenge on the Royal Mile today, having set off from Easter Road in January.

Thought about this a bit more and I get the rage baiting and it’s for clicks but I am a sucker for biting. Take away the boring stereotype of the drunken Scot which has been done to death. This allows kids to watch Scotland at a World Cup without going to school on the Monday knackered. It hasn’t happened in 28 years. My wee boy and his pals are buzzing about it. So essentially get yourselves to fuck.

Last week I blogged about the failure of Police Scotland and the Crown Office to investigate and prosecute evidenced cases of landowners who had failed to register with the Register of Controlled Persons in Land - a statutory offence 1/2

As Scotland (one of the most energy-rich countries in the world) faces the threat of aviation fuel shortages, it is worth reflecting on our energy story. For our children's sake, our future must not be 'business as usual'. thenational.scot/politics/24145…

Norway and the UK drilled the same North Sea. 🇳🇴Norway got $2 trillion. 🇬🇧The UK got tax cuts. Same basin,Same era.... Completely different outcomes. Norway captured $30 per barrel in government revenue. The UK captured $11. That gap, compounded over 50 years of production, is the entire difference. Norway's model was simple: tax heavily (78% marginal rate), take direct equity stakes in fields via the SDFI, own part of Equinor, and put everything surplus into a fund invested abroad. The Government Pension Fund Global now holds over $2 trillion in assets. That's $390,000 per Norwegian citizen about 1.5% of all listed equities on earth. The fiscal rule: only spend the 3% annual real return. Never touch the principal. The UK started producing earlier, at lower prices, with a lower tax rate (40%) and no saving mechanism. North Sea revenues flowed straight into the general budget. Economists estimate the UK missed out on roughly £400 billion compared to a Norwegian style regime. The windfall largely financed tax cuts in the 1980s rather than a fund. Where things stand in 2026? Norway's petroleum sector will generate $63 bn in net cash flow this year alone feeding a fund already large enough to cover 10-15% of the national budget from returns alone. The UK is a net energy importer. Since 2021 it has paid countries like Norway more than £100 billion for gas. One country treated oil as a finite resource to convert into permanent financial wealth. The other treated it as income. image source:eia

This factory was destined for Scotland. England blocked it on security grounds. It's now going to Europe. At the same time England approved a Chinese super embassy in the heart of the London financial district. Scotland will never flourish under this miserable, vindictive union.

Flying over the HS2 route last week. No track, no trains, not a ticket sold. Cost to date £100bn for just 140 miles of track & yes, it’s running years late. Scottish taxpayers send every penny of tax collected in Scotland to @hmtreasury - this is how they spend it! 🤪

Scotland, the "energy capital" of Europe. Scotland, the most energy rich country in Europe. Scotland, the highest levels of energy poverty in Europe. Scotland cannot prosper in a union that is designed to exploit people, extract wealth & leave the poorest dependent on handouts.

This post seems to be getting some unionists foaming at the mouth. Let me be clear about the debt. The Chancellor told us in 2014 (the sermon on the pound) it is not our pound. Therefore, it is not our debt. "If Scotland walks away from the UK, it walks away from the UK pound."

England is debt-ridden, going bust, with few assets. It is in terminal decline - a poor country pretending to be rich. If allowed, it will drag Scotland down with it. Its flawed political/economic system extracts wealth from its people, especially its poorest, effectively

Let's not get carried away with the election result & pretend everything is great. The majority strategy has failed. We have seen a worrying drop in support in Highland Scotland & the rise of Reform across Scotland. We must ask why.
