DEVASTATED workers have warned the governments of Westminster and Holyrood that their actions will not be “forgotten or forgiven” as more than a century of oil refining at Grangemouth drew to a close today.

“From today, we will be importing all the products necessary to meet Scotland’s demand for transport fuels,” PetroIneos spokesman Ian Hardie said, almost two years since the firm announced its plans to close Scotland’s only oil refinery and convert it to an import terminal.

This move sparked fury from refinery workers and their union, Unite, amid fears it could cost as many as 3,000 jobs across the Scottish economy.
