"What astounding ignorance!"
How is this
The people of Blackpool overwhelmingly don't want fracking - that seems to be general wherever it is proposed
The Council (for once) listened to what the people said and the Government overturned it - exactly the opposite of Brexit where "the people's will" (or a large enough minority of it) committed Britain to a suicidal policy - the Govenment's response - the people's will has to be adhered to"
Fracking is based on using fossil fuels - if you want to see the consequences of continuing to do so - look out of the window
One of Thatcher's ploys in closing down the mining industry was what the continued use of coal would do to the environment - yet now we have more ways of fouling pu the planet - fracking being just that - what happened to the people's will there?
What astounding ignorance is right
