Robert Gros made £27m selling useless gowns via the VIP PPE Lane, of course he never paid back a penny, he bought 2 mansions instead.
RT and see if we can make him as famous as Michelle Mone.
The UK now hosts more than 500 active data centres (the third largest in the world). They have been rammed through despite huge local community concerns about the impact on their local landscapes and energy and water consumption.
These enormous data centres are giant industrial facilities consuming vast quantities of electricity, water and land while placing increasing pressure on the UK’s energy infrastructure.
▪️Water consumption by data centres is expected to reach 9.3 trillion litres, while CO2 emissions will rise to 399 million tons.
▪️Annual power consumption from data centres is projected to double to 945 TWh by 2030, around the same as the whole of Japan’s energy consumption, with AI accounting for 40% of the total.
▪️The rise of AI is accelerating this trend. The UK Government's Compute Roadmap notes that AI data centres can devote up to 40% of their energy consumption to cooling systems.
▪️It is estimated that data-centre power and water consumption could double by 2030 due to AI growth.
▪️Emerging research suggests large AI facilities can create localised warming effects around their sites, sometimes described as a “data heat island” effect.
Numerous campaigns against these data centres are being organised by local communities. No one voted for this. If you are involved in any of these local campaigns, please DM me and I’ll try and help you amplify your campaigns.
If only we had a way of refining our own jet fuel from Scotland’s North Sea oil fields? I suppose we will just have to get our own oil delivered by road from England.
‘A FUCKING BRITNAT COLONIALIST SCANDAL’
Don't sleep on this
The UK is breaking up—and the world is breathing a huge sigh of relief
The British Empire, which never died, will not survive it
400 years of wrecking the world finally coming to an end
MI5, of course, will be working round the clock to hold back the tide
Tonight's meeting in Auchtertool about the 600MW AI data centre.
Fifers are furious. Looks like Fife Council fast-tracking data centre despite it:
- Consuming half of Scottish household electricity
- No Environmental Impact Assessment EIA
- Looking like it has landed from space
The birth of the Celtic Alliance of nations against Westminster rule presents a 'golden opportunity' to force the UK Government to listen, the deputy first minister of Wales has told The National https://t.co/jqQ2M8vUVU
The SNP, Greens and Plaid Cymru have their differences, but our 'common ground is breaking free from the calamity of Westminster', Michelle O'Neill tells The National
'People see well beyond the limitations of Westminster'
Erected around 5,000 years ago, the Calanais Standing Stones are a breathtaking Neolithic monument on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland's Outer Hebrides. Carved from ancient Lewisian gneiss, the stones form a striking cross shape surrounding a central monolith and burial cairn 🏴💙🗿
For anyone who needs reminding that Scotland really is a fantastic, magical place, here are some singing seals I saw - and recorded 🎤!!! - on the island of Mingulay today 🦭🏴🎶
Wales moves to decolonise its museums and GB News is absolutely losing it.
The Welsh government said the initiative aims to deliver the Anti-Racist Wales Action Plan (ARWAP).
ARWAP aims to establish Wales as an anti-racist nation by 2030.

A centralised and secretive political culture let Peter Murrell steal from SNP funds for a decade. Does that justify a Common/Holyrood inquiry? If so why not also investigate Labour over Mandelson's abuse of trade envoy role? It's a funny old world. Listen https://t.co/pqT4PMbnVr

A senior member of the Royal family & a govt Lord passing state secrets to the world's most notorious paedophile. Billions of Covid fraud & profiteering by 'Lady Mone' yet the mad man McKenna thinks nicking 400k from SNP members is the biggest ever scandal. And there's these 👇
