Not a clever question. Think Wind Farm - environmentally damaging in terms of visual, loss of land [eg peat bogs] increased traffic, use of concrete etc etc...and all for the ultimate good of producing renewable energy [you need to break eggs to create an omelette]

Jings. It's climate change stupid. Why are we still even arguing about this?

If the Scottish Government is serious about Scotland leading the world on environmental issues, it ought to ensure the Enterprise Fund ONLY funds projects with a positive environmental impact.

ScotGov have their hands tied - drug legislation is not devolved. Money is going where it is required, from the non-bottomless money pit. To argue otherwise is political perversion

Nobody is and it's probably too late to avoid serious adn long term damage to our infrastructure.

UK government has tied the hands of the Scottish Government,and its welfare policies are causing the conditions for drug use to increase. Many of the deaths are also related to the mass unemployment caused by Margaret Thatcher.

hemp and cannabis should be decriminalised. resources can then be used for other illegal drugs instead and those needing cannabis for health reasons can use without fear of being criminalised for trying to keep their health stable.

Without spending lots of unpaid time it's almost impossible to get info about the Rocket.

We must fight to keep this open and available to the public, even if that means a small administrative charge.

Political parties are not united enough or strong enough to stop this dreadful outcome

To be good neighbours the EU will help us out by throwing an extra fish or so into the mix.

I think Johnstone has gone too far and will be forced to concede,by the Scottish court if nothing else

Legislation should have been delegated to ScotGov long ago. If no-one lese cares about 'our people' outwith the Scottish Border, then we should just get on with it ourselves. I'd love to see a prosecution in Court... "They defied the law...they tried to save lives"
