It is impossible to argue against the histrionic rhetoric we see in public figures. They make these overblown ridiculous statements that there is no proof for but because they command all the attention in public speaking, press and TV with all their acolytes supporting them it gives the false impression of consent from the public. It really is a horror show that we are only allowed to observe but not be part of, it is like a runaway train that we cannot stop.

Reference Dr Alasdair Allan's Ministerial Forward, I've never read such a load of claptrap!

It's hypocrisy at the highest level, on one hand to show concern for "the loss of species and degradation of our natural environment" and on the other hand plan to industrialise our beautiful countryside by bulldozing swathes of land to erect monstrous pylons, wind turbines, battery storage facilities etc. etc. Shame on these so called 'leaders' who were never elected by us, and who are ignoring our plea to leave our countryside alone.

I am grateful to live in rural NE Scotland and see first hand in my garden the wild life thriving, which gives me the greatest of pleasure. We have a family of deer who visit, a family of badgers, foxes, hares, water voles, pheasants by the dozen, and we have had kestrels nesting in our trees for the past 4 years (awesome) with a plethora of other birds, too many to name. We are devastated and highly concerned that there is plans to erect monstrous pylons, 2 of which are 1.02 & 1.05 km from the front of our home, not only blighting our amazing view, but the effect it will have on the wildlife and the environment is truly horrifying.

It is my own personal view that Scotland, if not the whole of the UK has been sold off to the highest bidder.
