🔥🏭As production screeches to a halt at the Mossmorran gas plant, Unite the Union isn’t mincing words—calling out “zero support” and slamming the system that let it all collapse like a flaring tower in the wind. If this is how we treat industrial workers now, just wait 20 years—Scotland might be running on whisky fumes and nostalgia.
💀 Shutdowns, Silence, and the Spectacle of Shrugging Leaders
It’s not just a plant closing early. It’s a slow-motion abandonment of an entire workforce, like someone yanked the plug while mumbling about “net zero” and “market forces” between sips of flat Prosecco.
Unite’s fury isn’t performative—it’s panic wrapped in rage. No transition plans. No retraining. No vision. Just thousands left staring at the smouldering husk of what was once a major industrial engine, wondering if the next plan is a wind farm built on broken promises.
And sure, someone in a suit will say this is just “part of progress.” But you don’t get to call it a “just transition” when you’re transitioning working people into unemployment while clinking glasses over carbon offset portfolios.
Because the message is clear: keep calm, shut up, and try not to notice your livelihood evaporated faster than a government press statement.

Is this what a “green future” looks like—communities gutted while politicians chase hashtags and headlines?
What will this country look like in 20 years if we keep calling mass layoffs “growth”?
