  1. @RichardJMurphy Interesting about the Jet Fuel.
    Just to remind ourselves that this 'Labour' government is closing the #Grangemouth #refinery (another industrial asset removed from #Scotland in case it gets #independence).
    So what did Grangemouth provide:
    "Grangemouth is the primary supplier of #aviation fuel for Scotland’s main #airports, and a major supplier of petrol and diesel ground fuels across the Central Belt."

    The #strategic short-sightedness of Starmer’s gang.

  3. waking up to the #news that leaked documents from the #MoD reveal locations for potential new #ArmsFactories in the so-called #UK.

    "sites under consideration include parts of the #grangemouth industrial complex, the #finnart oil terminal on #LochLong, and locations in #cumbria, #teesside, #northumberland, #southampton and #wales".

    in #teesside, i bet it's the old chemical site in #StocktonOnTees right next to a huge residential estate that has already been polluted for decades.

    these arms factories are supposed to create a 1000 jobs in total, with the potential to kill many thousands more.

    #GifsArtidote: #capitalist murderous greed, that's what it is, & we should not accept this & strongly resist these plans. 😡
    affected communities should immediately set up resistance groups & develop positive, green, peaceful & community-led alternatives that create more jobs & develop these impoverished areas sustainably & healthily for everyone.

  9. A bonus podcast episode this week as 400 redundancy notices are issued to workers at the #grangemouth refinery, Iain Bruce considers whether a just or an unjust transition awaits. Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts

  10. “Just look at the assets. Access to the North Sea. A deep sea port. An effective grid connection. Infrastructure links to the northeast. A strategic location midway between Scotland’s two major cities. World-class universities. A skills pipeline for the future.”

    Somebody must have pointed to a map and showed him where Grangemouth is.

  12. The Scale of the Problem

    A few photos from around Grangemouth oil refinery and related works.

    Just looking at the flame burning atop one of the release vents as the merest indicator of how much CO2 pollution the site emits, I'll not be sad to see the whole place close next year.
    The environment for all comes before jobs for a few.
