Watched Lesley Riddoch's "The Highland Windfarm Revolt" last night. Some shocking statistics and a depressing picture of how, once again, Scotland is being exploited in order to keep England rich in power.

Trump just stripped protections across all 23 million acres of public lands in the Western Arctic for oil and gas development.
This administration’s attack on America’s Arctic can't be met with silence.
We need our leaders and the American people to stand up and StopTheArcticSellOff. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

I recommend watching Lesley Riddoch's new film "Scotland's Missing Forests"(YouTube) if you are interested in land reform, biodiversity, forest regeneration etc. It is filmed in Glen Garry.
