and are not happy with JRM’s fracking plans.

Short on detail, against the evidence and advice of energy experts too but that won’t stop him.
Surely the people of Somerset can see Lord Snooty for the charlatan he is by now?

[Spicerack]

You can't please all of the people all of the time.

Hasn't the Richter Scale been binned as an indicator of earthquake strength?

Of course maybe not in the temporal anomaly that Mogg inhabits.

Anyway, the big question is, what's in it for him?

[Spungle]

JRM is wrong, and badly wrong, on this one. Lancashire MP's are rightly outraged that not only is the moratorium of shale gas extraction being lifted, but consultation with the local people who live in these areas and their genuine concerns seems to be being over-ridden. Unless the people who this will affect are consulted, this is going to have a hugely negative impact on the government.

[Spungle]

The MP's are Mark Menzies (Fylde), Paul Maynard (Blackpool North) and Scott Benton (Blackpool South). The outrage is right and real.

[weecalf]

Another ploy to get BJ back .

[dave50]

Just get on with it for the good of the country. Ignore the nimbys.

[JDavis]

No problem as long as it's in the north, well away from the Tory shires.

[douglas9401]

Florid, pot-bellied knobs in red trousers will blow on long and hard about the wrong kind of windows, door paint or hedge height in the green and pleasant ghettos they occupy but will happily destroy anything that doesn't directly affect them or theirs.

'Twas ever so.

[JDavis]

Spot-on, Douglas.

Of course everyone knows that no one in the south does ordinary jobs or lives in run down council houses. And as for the higher cost of living - pah! No problem. All rolling in money here, don’t
ya know?! What a load of twaddle some of you people talk!

[douglas9401]

If you're all that skint then test-frack in a royal park or two to help out.

[naomi24]

I didn’t say I’m skint …

…….said the woman with a flagpole! PMSL

[Zacs-Master]

A flagpole says ‘chavvy council estate football fan’ to me.

[Ellipsis]

JRM is a fracking idiot ...

[douglas9401]

'The Bucket residence, the lady of the house speaking'. :-P

[naomi24]

Odd that mentioning that hard up people do actually exist in the south produces yet another bout of incontinence. Calm down, fatticusinch, old bean.

[naomi24]

Oh no, Douglas. I don’t have to pretend: ;o)

Is that you, Emily Thornberry ... ???

[naomi24]

From pictures I’ve seen I thought their flags were hung from upstairs windows but I could he wrong. I don’t know any chavvy council estate football fans.
