I am anti-Tory through and through. Obviously you have forgotten who the Immigration Minister is (Harper was his name. That's if you want to talk about credibility. I thought fracking was on the subject of energy?There wouldn't be any need for the fracking if this government didn't sell off our North Sea oil and gas.
Caroline will do alright. Oh, and on the subject of carbon taxes, I believe bungling Boris is going to put an extra charge on diesel vehicles? Am I right?
Fourth time of asking Andy name of the Labour Minister who introduced Green and Carbon taxes on energy - I know it's very difficult for you so here's a clue, he looks like this
You can always phone a friend, but please stop the avoiding game its boring, if you want more clues you only have to ask.
By the way North Sea oil has been in decline for years 1999 it peaked at 398 million barrels and declined to 220 million barrels in 2007, what were Labour doing in that time to encourage investment and exploration ?
This government is still selling it off. I haven't seen the Tories bring the green and carbon taxes down. Have you?. Instead, Boris is putting more on.
After 4 polite requests Andy do we take it as a refusal to answer or simply that you do not know the shysters identity ?
I haven't got a clue who it was Ded. Maybe you can enlighten me seeing as you refused to answer who that rat eyed Immigration Minister was.
Maybe you'd better sleep on it Andy, I won't be lengthening this thread further by answering puerile points that have naff all to do with the topic under debate. Last clue the former Labour Enegry Minister (on topic get it ?) has a brother who also looks a dickhead in photos :-
You're entitled to your opinion Ded. Maybe I will be asking you a few questions after Labour win the next Election. Like, where did the Tories go wrong?
Ah yes.
Then Labour can continue even more rapidly on the downward spiral.
That's looking far less likely, but putting whichever party you support to one side - treating it as a financial issue, who would you trust more - the accountant who lost the country billions,or the one picking up the broken pieces and has restored the GDP to what it was before the crash.Maybe I will be asking you a few questions after Labour win the next Election
It's a financial no-brainer.
You speak for yourself, Les. Like I said the majority of people are worse off. People want money in their pockets to have a decent life. They won't have that if the Tories get in and people know that. You will see.
Yep created by the last labour govermentLike I said the majority of people are worse off
Press Statement, 1st August 2014
The High Court has today confirmed the grant of permission for the Frack Free Balcombe Residents Association (FFBRA) to challenge the decision by West Sussex County Council to grant planning permission to Cuadrilla, to undertake works at Lower Stumble in Balcombe.
The judicial review will now take place in the High Court over two days later this year.
It is the latest stage of a legal battle against unconventional oil and gas in the village of Balcombe in West Sussex, by Cuadrilla Balcombe Limited.
Cuadrilla who previously had permission to frack for oil and gas at the site were granted permission from West Sussex County Council in May 2014 to return.
According to the new application, permission was sought for exploration and appraisal of the recently drilled "hydrocarbon lateral borehole" together with a new 14 metre high flare on the site.
Despite massive objection to the development, the application received 889 objections and 9 in support, permission was granted and work can now resume at the site.
Lawyers, Leigh Day, who are representing FFBRA, initiated the judicial review process citing a number of objections to the decision to grant planning permission and detailed repeated unsatisfactory communications with Cuadrilla Balcombe Limited.
In response to one letter from the law firm, asking for information about the likely timetable for the development, Cuadrilla replied: "At this stage we do not consider it appropriate for our confidential business plans and work schedules to be disclosed to you or your clients."
A pre-action letter was sent on 16 May 2014 to the Council and copied to Cuadrilla setting out the ways in which FFBRA considered the planning permission to be unlawful.
These include objections to Cuadrilla's conduct during the operation of its previous activities in Balcombe including allegations of non-compliance with conditions in the past.
The grounds of claim also consider the relevance of the scale of local opposition and alleges that the Council's' insistence that the number of
representations in opposition was 'not a material consideration' as being 'simply wrong in law'.
Charles Metcalfe, Chairman of FFBRA said:
"This is brilliant news for the Frack Free Balcombe Residents Association. We and our lawyers Leigh Day have worked very hard to challenge the legality of WSCC's planning permission to Cuadrilla. Unconventional Gas and Oil exploration is dangerous, dirty and the wrong path to take."
Ugo Hayter from the human rights team at law firm Leigh Day, which is representing FFBRA, said:
"We're very pleased that the High Court has agreed for this to go to a full judicial review hearing as we believe this planning permission has been granted unlawfully and flies in the face of overwhelming community opposition."
Sue Taylor, Balcombe resident and campaigner, said:
"This planning consent sets a dangerous precedent that the concerns of the local community can be ignored even though it is their health and safety that is at risk. Flaring from oil wells close to residential area poses an unacceptable threat to human health."
And the gov says it's safe
Fracked off - natural gas victims flee Colorado's toxic airhttp://www.theecologist.org/News/new...toxic_air.htmlScientists in Colorado are publishing alarming studies that show gas wells harm those living in close proximity, and dozens of stories stretching back over a decade have documented the ill effects of natural gas drilling on Colorado's citizens.
The world is unsafe-don't worry before it runs out we will have had a war and will be mutants fighting for scraps of food
Yes, reminds me of the fallout from the ICI chemical plant in Middlesbrough.
