Most of the wind/solar/tidal farms in Scotland are owned and/or financed by non-Scottish...

As should you 

Let me know what you think of the link I posted re: taxing the very rich 

I have just looked at your link. The answer is to tax the assets of the rich.

and their profits are pouring onto the pockets of the likes of you for their maintenance.

 

Don't forget that most of your £10k monthly salary is coming from windfarms this month. Or is that hypocrisy too much for you?

I don’t have a salary SP never have since leaving the army, if you are gonna make up shite numbers constantly at least get it half right. 

The profits/subsidies are enormous SP  the money the likes of myself earn is peanuts compared to the dayrate of some of the vessels here. 
How is me being here doing the job I’ve been doing for years long before you daft buggers swallowed the net zero pill hypocrisy?

The current marginal tax rate on income from UK and UKCS oil and gas extraction is 78%. That not enough Mark

Nothing to do with me. You. You are on here constantly ripping into 'Net Zero', Windfarms, solar farms, electric vehicles et al and in the next breath are out there taking that bucket of shiny windfarm shillings straight into your bank acount. Pure hypocrisy. "Bad things but I'll take the cash anyway"

I’ve been doing this before net zero was even thought of, Net Zero is utter insanity, wind farms are only any good as part of a balanced set up, currently they  make huge profits for predominantly foreign companies. Solar farms I’ve no experience in and don’t think I’ve had much opinion on them. Electric cars are currently too expensive, low range poor towing capacity etc etc ie a long long way off from replacing what we currently use especially within certain sectors.

How can myself doing a job for years that now has some ludicrous “ net zero “ tag somehow attached to it to soothe the gullible be classed as me being a hypocrite 🤷‍♂️your reasoning is just pure and utter stupidity.

If that’s the case then it is a genius move by @Johnsond - I’d happily take as much money as possible from any bullshido net-zero funded nonsense.

Bridget Phillipson's article in the Telegraph just shows how far the Labour Party are removed from real life and how they can only blame the previous government rather than accept that no one can get people trained or in to work if they don't want it! Kin muppets....

Net Zero is only a rebrand of being green  - or did you miss that bit? The  conversion from an oil based electricity system to green energy, net zero energy has accelerated with technology advances, but has always been a goal - pretty much since north sea oil took off and they realised that there was only limited supplies, certainly all my working life.

 

So then got to ask is it the branding you oppose then if the end result is the same?

 

Still happy to be taking that shiny shilling whatever they call it, it is the same thing. Still the same hypocrisy to apparently get angry about it and accept it as a wage earner
