Thanks Leah and Frances, I'd read this excellent letter to the English paper The Herald', at Talking Up Scotland wordpress blog. Not surprised one bit that it was not published.

Torness should and must be shut down, any nuclear leak would be absolutely devastating for East Lothian, all flora and fauna, and indeed for Scotland especially the central belt and no doubt further afield. To keep it running sounds like ecocide waiting to happen, would the English administration even welcome that happening, in order to attempt to blame the SNP...put nothing past them, it's not near London soo...

Again SNP must make a massive case for continuing to reject nuclear power and England's proposed nuclear plants in Scotland. Meanwhile as we know the English administration has scrapped the oil refinery at Grangemouth in Scotland, all while opening up oil refineries in England, to er, take even more of Scotland's vast oil reserves as they have done for decades and decades. Oil, renewables, water, etc it's all up for grabs, we can't allow the English establishment and their dodgy pals abroad to take those resources as if they own them, scamming Scotland out of £billions+++

It does not bear thinking about should an English HQ'd party take control of Holyrood next year, Scotland's environment, infrastructure, services, industries, economy and wellbeing would simply be destroyed on day one. :-/

I must read when I get home...I'd call it England's nuclear power station in Scotland...being as Scotland has no powers to close it down or indeed fix it. Scary face emoji.
