Now that the Glen Sannox is fully operational & finally in service, Could the BBC (they love a good failure) turn it's attention to Hinkley point ? The project was originally scheduled to be completed by 2017 & cost £18 billion, but is now expected to be completed by 2031 & cost up to £46 billion.

Now that the Glen Sannox "ferry tale" has had a happy ending, its time to look at another story, that is not having such a happy time, one that the BBC will give us no details about. No, not HS2, that's for a later date, but another total disgrace. I give you Hinckley Point Nuclear Power Station.👇🏻

Just listened to the most distorted report on BBC Radio Scotland about waiting times in #NHSScotland causing additional deaths. No, Helen Puttick people in Scotland do not celebrate more people dying in England, but they are grateful to have the UK's best performing #NHS here.

When we ran Scotland for 8 years as a Labour-Lib Dem Executive, We sent £1.5 billion of Scotland's money back to Westminster because we "Didn't have anything to spend it on whatsoever" and now look at us now. Unelected Lords 👇🏻

Interesting, but as most of us knew anyway. A labour FM is a puppet to the PM and the colony will do as the PM says. With SNP in power, they hate it with a passion.
