So far we know that Data centres:
🌊 Deplete our fresh water
🐝 Kill off bees
🐮 Affect animal fertility
🔉Cause significant sound pollution
🌲Destroy the environment
🤖Take over human jobs
🌍Risk our children’s futures
ENOUGH with billionaires’ greed!
STOP ALL data centres!
Despite local concerns, a huge AI data centre is to be built on countryside by Auchtertool village in Fife - using 20% of Scotland’s energy consumption.
Please sign my petition calling for the Scottish government to stop this. 6,500 signatures.

THIS IS WHY PHYSICAL MEDIA NEEDS TO EXIST!
I bought these games PHYSICALLY for a combined £91.
If I had bought the exact same games right now on the PlayStation store it would have cost me £457.62!!!
This is the control Sony PlayStation could have over the pricing…
In 2019, Charlotte Lay walked onto a railway track believing she had reached the end of her life.
A train was approaching.
But the driver, Dave Lay, had been alerted to someone on the tracks. He slowed the train, stopped at a distance, and climbed out.
Charlotte expected anger. She thought she was about to be told off.
Instead, Dave calmly introduced himself and asked her one simple question.
“Hi, my name is Dave. Are you having a bad day?”
Then he sat near her.
He didn't lecture her. He didn't tell her how lucky she was. He simply stayed and talked.
For around 30 minutes, Dave treated Charlotte like a human being having the worst day of her life.
Eventually, she found the strength to leave the tracks.
The next day, Charlotte searched for the train driver who had saved her. She posted in a local social media group, hoping someone might know him.
Dave had been wondering if she was okay too.
They reconnected.
They started messaging.
About two months later, they met for coffee.
And somewhere between conversations, healing and ordinary days together, the stranger who sat beside Charlotte on the tracks became the man she fell in love with.
But their story wasn't finished.
In 2020, Dave began suffering from back pain. He thought it was nothing serious.
Charlotte kept telling him to see a doctor.
Eventually, he listened.
Dave was diagnosed with testicular cancer.
He later said doctors told him that if he had waited much longer to seek medical help, he might not have survived.
The man who once sat beside Charlotte when she wanted to leave this world was now alive because Charlotte refused to stop worrying about him.
In 2022, Charlotte and Dave got married.
Dave later put their story into words perfectly.
“Charlotte may say I saved her life... but she saved my life as well.”
Two strangers met on the worst day of one person's life.
Neither of them knew it yet.
But one simple conversation was about to save them both
