Scotland loses more high-tech jobs

Four years after IBM closed its long-established Greenock plant, 300 jobs are to go in Livingston.

It is though yet another example of a foreign investor taking public money from a devolved government in the UK and then reneging on the understanding to give continued employment in a high-tech industry.
