Shutting refinery is industrial vandalism

HUNDREDS of workers marched through Edinburgh demanding Scotland's oi refinery is saved from closure.

The Keep Grangemouth Working rally saw union members and supporters bring traffic to a standstill on the Royal Mile en route to Holyrood.

Energy giant Petroineos announced last year its intention to cease refining operations at the giant industrial site on the Forth in spring 2025, with 400 highly-skilled jobs now at risk.

The company is a joint venture between Ineos, controlled by Manchester United investor Jim Ratcliffe and PetroChina.

It said that the refinery is losing £385,000 per day and expects a £150million loss this year.
