Huge swathes of Scotland’s land are used for grouse shooting — a ‘sport’ that relies on the killing of hundreds of thousands of animals and the burning of our land
Imagine a future where nature is given space to return
Help unlock our land's potential >https://t.co/OKCJhAUIkM?
These are just a few of the reasons why we are asking for people to object to the reserve matters planning application! Why should our wildlife and their habitat be displaced and destroyed ,for a tourist holiday village that is not needed or wanted !

Scotland still calls it Black Saturday. It was the last full pitched battle the two kingdoms ever fought, and almost nobody outside East Lothian can name it.
On 10 September 1547, on the banks of the Esk near Musselburgh, a Scottish army under the Earl of Arran faced an English army under Edward Seymour, Duke of Somerset. The cause was the Rough Wooing, Henry VIII's attempt to force a marriage between his son and the infant Mary, Queen of Scots, continued after his death by Somerset in the name of the boy king Edward VI. Scotland had said no, repeatedly, so the answer was invasion.
Pinkie Cleugh has a strong claim to being the first modern battle fought in Britain. Somerset arrived with a fleet in support, and English warships lying offshore could put fire directly onto the Scottish flank. He had cavalry, field artillery and arquebusiers working together in a way that had barely been seen on this island. The Scots came on in dense pike blocks, the formation that had won battles across Europe a generation earlier, and found that the tactical world had moved underneath them.
The Scottish army broke and the losses were enormous, with figures around six thousand commonly cited. But the campaign failed at the level that mattered. Rather than hand Mary over, the Scots shipped her to France, where she was betrothed to the dauphin. Somerset won the battle and lost the entire object of the war in the same stroke.
It ranks among the darkest days in Scottish military history. Why do you think Pinkie is so rarely remembered?🏴👑⚔️🧬🩸

What butter is, in the public mind:
- Furs up the arteries
- Sensibly replaced by margarine in about 1975
- The reason your uncle had his event
- A treat, in a small dish, on a special occasion
What is actually in the packet:
- Vitamins A, D, E and K2
- Butyrate, which your colon lining runs on
- Cholesterol, which your hormones are built from
- A fat stable enough to sit in a dish on the side
- Two ingredients: cream and a churn
- On the human table since the first cow was milked
- Delicious
The stuff that replaced it: refined seed oil, hydrogenated into a solid, deodorised because it had to be, dyed yellow because nobody would buy grey, and sold with the word heart on the tub.
The hydrogenation came off the market four decades later, quietly, once the number of arguments it had lost got embarrassing.
A cow, a bucket and a churn were declared a health hazard, and a factory that had to bleach the smell out of its own product was declared the sensible option.
The butter never did anything. Put it back on the table.
Whoa, You mean you can change the weather by spraying from planes?
Imagine if a country did this covertly to cause erratic weather,
Then used that chaotic weather to justify carbon tax to combat "Climate change", raising billions every year,
What a hypothetical scam that would be! 😉
So it seems the govt is dropping rabies packet all over Ohio. All for an illness that doesn’t exist. Is this making the country healthy?🤔
Not one bit. Just poisoning wild animals

En Cerdeña (Italia), los millonarios capitalistas utilizan helicópteros para desplazarse a una tienda a comprar ropa o a un restaurante de lujo... luego vuelven y los aterrizan en sus superyates que navegan por el mar.
Según un estudio de OXFAM, los multimillonarios emiten un millón de veces más gases de efecto invernadero que un trabajador normal, las 50 personas más ricas del mundo generan en 90 minutos lo que tú en toda tu vida.
El cambio climático es una lucha de clases, si queremos reducir la contaminación debemos empezar por quienes más contaminan, que son los capitalistas y sus ejércitos... pero en el capitalismo siempre se comen la austeridad los pobres, el daño ambiental se socializa, la naturaleza se destruye y el beneficio económico se privatiza.
