Thread Name: BS: Canada's First Nations Rising Up!
Subject: RE: BS: Canada's First Nations Rising Up!
From me:Most folks over here don't give a darn about fracking, which will be coming here shortly if the politicians have their way. Most people here know nothing about it and simply don't want to know. It's as if they've all been sprayed with Apathy Dust.<<<<

From Will:That particular statement is not true, Lizzie. Fracking has been the subject of intense debate and protest in the Blackpool area after some fracking caused two earthquakes on the Fylde coast. There are a lot of people in the UK who are very, very exercised about it. The problem is that the people who want it - George Osborne for one - are the people in power. Please don't generalise about our people in the UK. <<<<


Will, I stand by what I say, MOST folks do NOT give a damn! IF THEY DID the streets would have been covered in them all protesting! As it is, just a couple of hundred good people protested last week in London.

Today, they have announced, just an hour or so ago, that fracking has been given the go-ahead in this country!

I just 'lost it' totally on Nicky Campbell's BBC Radio 5 show this morning, tears falling down my face as I was talking, for what they are doing here is INSANITY! Deeply embarrassing, but at least they got to hear how I felt.

I am truly fecked off with these Numbskulls who are ruining our planet or showing total disinterest in their own species, letting them live in terrible conditions whilst these fecking 'leaders-who-are-not-leaders' live in LUXURY!!

Oh..and this morning it's also been announced that fecking Dilma Rousseff, President of Brazil, at present in Paris with Hollande, has given the go-ahead for....wait for it.....800...**EIGHT HUNDRED** (!!!) new airports to be built in Brazil!

Let's hope the Red Nations Rising 'Idle No More' becomes ALL Nations, for if we do not fight this Insanity we are going down, down, deeper and DOWN!!


And Chief Spence has many people now supporting her from around the world, with many others coming to sit outside her teepee, to sing, beat the drums and give her as much support as they are able to.
