This doesn't surprise me at all. I was an apprentice and machinist there from 1969 to 1980 and was constantly hearing of accidents and leaks happening. I told my wife some of the stuff that happened then, she says it is a wonder I don't glow in the dark.

Don’t fancy being one of those coos.

“Dounreay was opened on the north Caithness coast almost 70 years ago and was the UK's centre of fast reactor research and development until 1994.

Hundreds of Scottish workers are now involved in its decommissioning.”

Meanwhile the Brexit (-5%GDP) supporting, Scottish industry destroying & resources stealing English political class will now run up against their own protesters who they can’t ignore. Scotland doesn’t matter. Never did. Never will. #ScottishIndependence.

With no codified constitution the UK relies on relatively sane people in power to retain a functioning democracy.

'Some argue climate change will lead to mass displacement towards the West. But this is contestable. The UK relies on just-in-time food supply lines wide open to environmental shocks. We have done next to nothing in relation to adaptation.'

The latest Norstat poll for the Times shows a sustained lead for Yes in #Indyref2 voting intention. Even with the published 2014 vote weighting Yes has a 6 point lead. But if we reweight based on current (rather than fantasy) demographics, Yes has a 13 point lead.

Errr what.

It’s like living in a parallel universe. Soul doesn’t need fixing and England isn’t Britain.

Starmer will lose and Farage our new authoritarian racist UK King is coming.

There are many alarming things about Starmer's ID plan, he's creating instruments of state surveillance which he'll hand over to the far right after the next general election. If there's a pro indy majority in Holyrood after 2026, ScotGov needs to hold an indyref & dare Starmer to stop them.

My article in The National this evening.

With the rise of renewables and storage technology, Scotland simply doesn't need nuclear power at three times the price.
