Please don't let a Yorkshire owned theme-park company destroy Loch Lomond. Look, I'm not eloquent enough to break everything down but this application, if put through would see the destruction of one of the most beautiful places in Scotland.

It holds so many precious memories. Wildlife would be affected drastically, tourism of that scale in this area would do more harm than good.

The link below will give you more details and there's also a petition. It would mean the world to me if you gave it some attention. Thank you.

Since Scotland banned guns, our domestic terrorists have had resort to using blood sausage as a weapon...

Flamingo Land Update, December 2024

Right, lads, this isn't the news I wanted to find out tonight, but Flamingo Land is highly likely to appeal the plans for a resort next year.

After 155,000 votes to reject the plans these fucks aren't getting the fucking message. I'd usually make a post about this a bit more elegantly but I'm fuckin pissed off.

Even with The Woodland Trust, The National Trust for Scotland, and many other groups supporting the rejection on it, Flamingo Land have been given an extension to their contract to appeal.

They've been at this for a decade. And if I gotta talk and fight about it for another decade so be it.

Hopefully, there will be more updates after Christmas and New Year. Don't let Flamingo Land wreck a community and protect our landscape and scenery. It is much more than just a pretty place.
