It could have blown away around 10% of the Scottish economy, triggering economic ruin for entire communities." & "..The whole episode raises again an age-old question, not whispered enough, let alone asked loudly: who runs Britain?"

Many of the operations of the Joint Special Operation Command, the covert US elite forces, are being planned at the US Africa Command “AFRICOM” in Stuttgart/Germany. More than 70 countries in the world have access to weaponized drone technology. Germany is also trying to acquire them. It is only a matter of time that they will be used. Furthermore the US military has donated its equipment to police agencies.

INEOS announce Grangemouth Petrochemical Plant to close/Workers continue fight

23-10-2013 15:33

This morning in a shock annoucement INEOS Refining - owner of Grangemouth Oil Refinery & Petrochemical Plant - announced that the petrochemical plant at Grangemouth was to close, with 800 people to be made redundant. It comes after Unite members voted for strike-action on 27th September, with 90% voting in favour of a strike with an 86% turnout, after INEOS issued workers with a ‘sign or be sacked’ ultimatum to slash jobs, pay and pensions with a deadline by 6pm Monday 21 October. This further escalation of closure shows the brute careless abandon of INEOS controlled by billionaire hedge fund owner, Jim Ratcliffe, that compromises the entire oil industry and petrol supplies throughout the UK particularly Scotland, and the shameless opportunism of a company resorting to the worst example of industrial vandalism in living memory to get their own way, who have refused union demands to allow the company accounts to be reviewed by an independent assessor of the union's choosing.
