The power outage in Spain and Portugal wasn't caused by extreme weather, but by an over-reliance on wind and solar. If the UK continues on its headlong path to Net Zero, we can expect similar failures.

to the OSF activists. Blockading the petrol stations was a very effective thing that you used to do as well.

I have to wonder at the "An Phoblacht" title above though ... it strikes me that the government have intervened in the Rossport crisis ... it's just that they've done it on the wrong side as the picture shows.

It's true. They intervened all over us.

Pity there's no pictures of the OSF action, are there?
