“Stuart Hill, 83, says he can control the weather, the colour of his urine and put on weight during a hunger strike. He has been to prison four times and will die on 28 May 2069, unless he changes his mind.”

An 83-year-old separatist with four prison stints now takes strategy advice from ChatGPT. His movement is dropping medieval treaty arguments and talking about council tax and fuel poverty next to Britain’s largest onshore wind farm. That pivot is smart. The islands host the turbines and still can’t afford heat, and that grievance outlasts any crank.
