There's a consultation open about what could be the world's biggest AI data centre at Chapelcross near Annan in Dumfries and Galloway. However, the local council don't seem too pleased about the number of objections.

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

I don't really see how British democracy can survive this. It's a hostile takeover bid and it will succeed unless the government wakes up and legislates to stop it.

Definitely the best way to keep Iran from charging a toll on the Strait of Hormuz is for the USA (illegally) to start charging a toll itself. This is real hyper-brilliance on the downslope of American decline.
