Wasted renewable energy could have powered all Scottish homes in 2025 so far THE amount of clean electricity that was curtailed across the UK in the first half of 2025 was enough to power every household in Scotland, a newโ€ฆ

The actual truth about wasted energy. Corporate companies rake in millions while we as customers pay extreme prices for energy.

Totally agree! We donโ€™t want Trump or Vance here nor all this nonsense. At the end of the day who do they think they are and who is paying for all the security by English and Scottish police forces ! ๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก

Police arrest 474 people at protest in support of banned group Palestine Action Palestine Action has been proscribed since 5 July, making it a criminal offence to show support for the organisation, but police said a "significant number" were carrying placards backing the group.

This is madness. We are living in a Police state just like USA. Free speech and peaceful protest has been taken from us.
