What an opportunity we missed in 2014.

Why is the UK Gov quite happy to see this close ?
The article below goes some way of highlighting Scotlands circumstances with a footnote at the end mentioning Grangemouth.
Sadly the constituency that the plant is in last year voted for a English unionist party MP to represent them.

Because, remember, the oil ran out in 2014 so why do we need one? 🫢

I read today that it needed a £60 million investment for a new Hydrocracker.
I suspect it might need more than that however what I can’t get my head around is why UK Gov are happy to give a reported £600 million grant to the Billionaire Ratcliffe so he can build a new plastics plant In Belgium. You know the Belgium that is part of the EU that we left.
Meanwhile hundreds of skilled job and many many more jobs will be lost for ever when our last remaining refinery shuts and UK Gov who could help to save it sit back and do nothing. Better together eh?
Maybe our resident unionists can explain why they don’t care about Scottish jobs.
What an opportunity we missed in 2014.

The tax dodging Ratcliffe?🤔
Is it Old Trafford that`s getting the stadium development money that Reeves mentioned yesterday?🤬

Reeves supports the development. Didn`t say any money was going towards it.

The government are putting money into redeveloping the surrounding area, not the stadium itself. Not sure if City got government backing for the same thing, although the Etihad is in an absolute dive of an area.

My sister taught at a school near the Etihad, said it was hell on earth, she could write scripts for "Shameless " with some of the stories!

Reality hits home now.
It`s the only country with oil and no refinery.

Reality hits home - Hanvey is still an idiot. He should know better than most that the Scottish government doesn`t have the funds to step in. The UK government certainly knows this. Hanvey could have made that point to fight for independence but instead has a go at Holyrood.

Right enough, the government has a bill for £200 million coming their way for the bottle bank scheme....What`s Hanvey got to with anything ? Thought the Independence movement was the SNP? Surely they`re the ones who should show some fight....to busy counting their wages...

It`s Hanvey`s quote in your post!
Petroineos reported to be losing £150m per week. That`s a bit more than £200m in a scheme that was clearly sabotaged by Westminster. What change did Hanvey have when he was still an elected member? What about the last woman standing in Holyrood for Alba? How`s she changing things?

You really need to let your bitterness go about Hanvey and the Alba party it`s not a good look .
Anyway it doesn`t change the fact that a skilled workforce are losing their jobs and our wee pretendy parliament done sweet FA about it.

Don`t know how a company that supplies fuel can make a loss?
Was good to see the Unite members down South supporting their comrades!

Amusing to see Tenruh chiding jake about `bitterness`!
Alba doesn`t seem to be a very happy party at the moment.

Mmm...pot calling the kettle black methinks. You literally spend every waking moment moaning about the SNP 😂
So how would Alba or yourself expect the SNP Holyrood Government over covering a £150m per week loss?
