When the Scottish Government hailed the two future Freeports as a win-win, were they doing a U-turn or were they ignorant of the possibility that Fracking could be back on the agenda? And where are the Greens in all this?
I suppose the next question is, were they even in on the conversation?
What secret deals were made, some of which may never have been recorded…..will we ever know?
Everyone knows Ineos wants to Frack and now that door has opened again. Has the SNP/Green partnership taken their eye off the ball whilst being firmly fixed on their Trans agenda?
The big question now is, can they fix it? I somehow doubt it, egos will go into denial of the facts.
This dilemma would never have happened if Scotland had been governed in a proper democratic way which should have included consultation with the real stakeholders, the people!
We may be too late to stop it from starting but we can take steps to stop it from continuing, by adding this to our long list of wrongs going forward to the ECJ.
Maybe what could happen in the Falkirk area will jolt people into action. Salvo have an opportunity here to step into the breach and we can all play our part!
JOAN’S JOURNEY CONTINUES 
It doesn’t stop at fracking. Ineos has also talked about building a nuclear reactor at Grangemouth, to aid renewables. I hate the way how nuclear has been portrayed as clean energy when that is so far from the truth.
