Tolkien Gestures – Scotsman letters

Does any political party actually understand the meaning of the word GREEN or is it just a colour they bandy about in an attempt to impress voters?

How can cutting down trees, digging up peat, killing or displacing wildlife, filling the land full of concrete and destroying the peace and tranquillity of the countryside be considered Green?    The carpeting of  rural Scotland with giant wind turbines  is akin to the destruction of Middle Earth.  Everything that was good and green was raped and pillaged and burned by Orcs driven by their Master in the Dark Tower.

At least there were heroes in that story who fought a great war to save the land and all who lived there.  Sadly it seems there is no-one to save rural Scotland from the ravages of wind farm developers.
