Impunity from crimes, cover-ups, blatent lies, unidentified police, abductions and political pardons are all features of fascist states.
Just saying.

2/ Beatrice Offshore wind farm was paid £417 million in its latest financial year for delivering 2,044.2 GWh (2.04 million MWh) of electricity. So the cost was:
417 / 2.04 = £204/MWh
That’s more than double the wholesale price in the current Ofgem price cap, which is £83/MWh.

Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.

Looking through some old photos I came across this.
From about 1966. This poster was screen printed by ( DC? Greer ) of Partick Cross Glasgow. Family friends.
I remember the turpentine smell and watching the amazing skills of the commercial artist with paintbrush and stencil. #OldGlasgow #Partick

My father in law used to love a Johnnie Walker Black Label premium whisky. Drowned with lemonade...
I once expressed a liking for a single malt whisky at a family gathering to embrace my Scottish heritage. I've been given expensive malts for the last 20 years. I drink them with Cherry coke or Sprite mixers.
