It was inevitable that the #McLafferCurve would lead to the #McBrainDrain . The problem is probably being compounded by the exit of the rich, young and entrepreneurial being backfilled by elderly care tourists. But does the Scottish 'government' care?

After Thames Water what could possibly go wrong? Now Macquarie Group is hoping to make more money, partly by covering good farmland in solar panels. They would be better doing it in Oz where the sun shines more. #StopLimeDown

Putin’s intelligence staff must be delighted to get an inventory of Ukraine’s artillery shells from BBC News (UK). #CarelessTalkCostslives

Sobering thought.

The Scottish 'government' plans to inflict national parks on farming communities to boost tourism while at the same time bringing in licensing legislation to restrict tourism. Duh! #SayNoToGallowayNationalPark

Laura Kuenssberg - in your interview with Claire Coutinho MP tomorrow pls ask her what she can do to stop productive agric land being used for vast solar parks. They shd be on rooftops & brownfield not in place of vital food fields. StopLimeDown.com

Scotland is finished. This is utterly disgusting. We are now a Police State. When 74 year old ladies are arrested for such spurious and ridiculous claims, what chance do the rest of us have?

Greater Manchester Police. And there's me assuming it was Durham.

She'll be gone by the end of the week.

You can't seriously be going to allow more farmland to be gobbled up by solar 'parks' when #foodsecurity is threatened? Claire Coutinho MP Steve Barclay Rishi Sunak #StopLimeDown #RoofsNotFields
