@SAshworthHayes Good article! Nice summary of the situation. As you say, the geology doesn’t change. Interesting link to the energy crises of the seventies. I remember well the excitement, and sense of relief, back then that we had ‘our own oil and gas reserves’. We could feel that again!…

In 2019, a government upside scenario had the North Sea producing enough gas and oil to meet almost all of Britain's energy needs between now and 2050. The supply is still there. Government policy has locked it away:

@KHD_2017 Lovely photo and obviously a lovely load of memories 🤗

One year ago today, we lost my dear Mum. This is her taken on a family holiday in #Sutherland quite a few years ago, but I liked the image. Thanks Mum for everything (Helen) 🙏🙏

@darrenpjones Sorry Darren, but this is mendacious. Digital ID is not about facilitating lives, it is about state control of lives. As you know!

☕ Can you get your admin done faster than you can make a cup of tea? I want to make government by app a reality. That’s what we could do with digital ID. Have your say by searching ‘digital ID consultation’.

@HelenHet20 That about sums it up Helen! Thankyou. It is ludicrous, given the state of global politics, to increase our dependency on imports from unstable sources while willingly allowing our own oil and gas to stay under the North Sea; and to shut down our own refineries too!

Oil and gas are choose-your-poison for the UK: Starmer doesn't want to expand the life of the North Sea, is wed to confrontation with Russia, and is now likely to be looking to US firms to export more while simultaneously searching for ways to grandstand against Trump.

@_rossdavidson Keeping up your rock spotting too Ross! Well done 👍

Cloud capped the Arran hills today, so we enjoyed a gorgeous 8 mile walk along the coast instead. #Scotland #IsleofArran

Thank you so much to the lovely Shona Maclean who came to @UllapoolB this morning to talk about #CromartyLibraryCircle Thanks also to Bookseller Eilidh who made delicious white chocolate & rosemary cookies, which matched the colours of the front cover! A few signed books remain.

@UllapoolB We will need some of those cookies for the Earth Mind book event in May, I think! 🤔😊@NWHGeopark

@johnmac201 Thanks John. It was lovely; people came in, chatted and then bought books! Shona was so interesting to listen to (as you know), and yes Eilidh's cookies were amazing (choc chip, covered with either white choc / dark choc, orange & rosemary. I think that they may become a fixture!

This is where Britain is heading with its state-sanctioned blocking of children’s puberty. 👇
