As the latest misdeed in its short but shocking corporate history, INEOS is attempting legal action to criminalise peaceful protest about its most… Continue reading →

…ry did this we would wake up tomorrow in a different Britain. It’s time to choose: a vote for green energy is a clear political and moral act. ‘‘The only way to save our lives and future is to switch to green energy’’, says Vivienne Westwood. “We must all demand a fast transition to clean energy.
