    Congratulations to the proles of Essex. The bourgeois are probably malding about “no foreign investment!!!” so fuck them

    That’s sad, they would have helped the local community so much!

      Yeah the eight jobs they would have brought would have really helped the local economy.

      Data centres on not big employers, they require very specialist skills which are unlikely to be available in the local population and they don’t need many of them.
