Crossbill Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I'd be most surprised if this is not one of the areas where Westminster seeks 'regulatory alignment' with the rest of the UK, as part of the Brexit power grab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 The Scottish Government have played another absolute fucking blinder you say? The thing I enjoy so much about the seethe that Nicola generates is, it's not her nationalism or politics or gender that puts the Yoon of today into a terrified, foamy froth, but her competence.

They’ll saying it’s to align Scotland with the UK then they’ll do no fracking England and all of it in Scotland.That self loathing doormat Mastermind and his chums will be along to gloat about fracking in Scotland I imagine.

I wonder what reading you'd get nearby a big pile driver for example? Or by a road with heavy lorry traffic? Or near a football ground where fans are doing the bouncy bouncy. Genuinely curious.

Suspect Device Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 How many prior to fracking as well. I'm on the tense with regards to fracking. I'd like some evidence from both sides without the hysteria. Kind of like my views on Brexit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 There has been an increase in man made earthquakes in areas of the USA with fracking. In America fracking has polluted the water table. And we need to reduce carbon pollution not drag every bit of oil and gas out the ground to enrich elites. There is plenty of evidence for all three of those points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gas cookers have been running just fine without UK fracking. As you well know the purpose of fracking in the UK isn't to provide energy for consumers but to provide profits for the shareholders of Centrica, Ineos and other corporations.

Granny Danger Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 We shouldn't worry about fracking. Let's wait until there's a major f**k up then we can worry. This idea is brought to you by the Homer Simpson Foundation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The go to argument of the floundering right wing bore. It is obviously impossible to provide a decent standard of living to retired people without pandering to the whims of financialized capital to destroy the environment.

Yeah it probably wasn't caused by anything that started with an 'f' and ended 'ing'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
