Who really is JD Vance, Donald Trump's Vice-President to be?

 We know so little about this guy, yet he could well be President in four years' time. There are all sorts of conspiracy theories, but really, he is a guy who should not be unknown since he has written an autobiography which will interest most people.

The wickedness of windfarms among the beautiful hills of Scotland - particular on the Mull of Kintyre

 Kintyre is being covered with windfarms, some as much as an eighth of a mile high! Paul McCartney (who sings on this film) would be turning in his exile!

Details in this film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_Lbd0xifqs

This environmental vandalism is being organised by the Scottish government and implemented by cash-hungry power firms from all over the world. Our government is selling Scotland's priceless beauty to the highest bidder. This film describes the problem and shows how you can help stop the last turbine-free area, the MULL of Kintyre, being invaded by a company from Bremen, in Germany, called EnergieKontor. If you would like to preserve Kintyre for the future, you should write to: Your preferred social media, The conventional media, Your MSP, The Scottish government planning appeals office: dpea@gov.scot Quoting: WIN-130-9 Breakerie. You might even try EnergieKontor's Head of Public Relations in Bremen: julia.pschribuella@energiekontor.com Let them all know your view; this is still a democracy Kintyre is not a commodity to be bought and sold for German gold
