Go Fracking

No doubt the jail sentence was decided at a family lunch.
This is something for the IPCC to investigate without doubt.
The Draconian bastard needs correcting.
And the VICTIM needs recompensing too.

[LordRaven]

Just what an increasingly climate-change ravaged world needs.... even more fossil fuels to be burned

Genius move there by the greedy profit motivated twats

Luckily there's pending EU regulations coming in which will better regulate the industry.


Oh, wait...

Regulating or abolishing?

cause at this stage in the 'planet being fucked royally by carbon emissions' saga ZERO fracking is the only sensible option.

Stop whinging, earthquakes can be fun!

Blackpool was victim last time fracking went on, well I seem to recall something going on there last time.

The original judge needs to be removed from the bench and prosecuted.

If Blackpool tower falls on its side that will be an economic tourist boost instantly.
I'll drive up to see it.
Might buy a stick of rock.

The same legal team that freed the 3 protesters are now fighting to free a protester who has been detained under the mental health act and is being forced medicated.

Seems the British state will go to any lengths to prevent protesting of the fracking industry.

With any luck it will happen in the Autumn. Double bubble, with the lights.

However, we have 50 earthquakes / tremors a day in the UK, and soon they can blame them all on fracking.

Update: she has been released. Seems the visit from the legal team had some effect.

I'm afraid Judges are above the law--what a shame!!!

Blackpool hit by four earthquakes just days after fracking started again in the area


Blackpool has been hit by four earthquakes just days after the controversial practice of fracking began again in the area. The latest quake hit this afternoon at levels where scientists say the process should ‘proceed with caution.’ Fracking was stopped for years after two earthquakes in Lancashire and experts have now raised fears that ‘there may be trouble ahead.’

David Smythe, Emeritus Professor of Geophysics, University of Glasgow, told Metro.co.uk: ‘Recent research by Stanford University shows that these tiny tremors can be indicators of bigger quakes to follow – like canaries in a coal-mine. ‘The problem for Cuadrilla is that if it carries on regardless, bigger earthquakes may well be triggered. ‘To quote Cole Porter; “There may be trouble ahead”. Cuadrilla’s only safe option is to cease fracking.’

Cuadrilla’s only safe option is to cease fracking.

But they're just carrying on .... good idea if it was your house that quaked everytime these guys operated?

Initial studies by the British Geological Society suggested the quakes were linked to the fracking activities while an independent report found ‘most likely, the repeated seismicity was induced by direct injection of fluid into the fault zone.’

Free drugs, she must be loving it.

Oh, wait...

I don't understand why people on here hate Thatcher so much for closing the mines, there the same cunts moaning about us burning coal
She must have been a visionary.

Thatcher was a major leader of the green movement and the decision to close mines that cost twice as much as they produced was an easy decision.

However on Friday afternoon at 1.20pm, Blackpool was hit by quake with a 0.3 magnitude, which experts are now monitoring because it has reached a level where fracking should be reconsidered.

What exact damage has been caused? 0.3 needing to be monitored doesn't really tell us much. It would appear this is just sensationalist journalism.

Carry on until a building falls down--if ever that is likely to happen(not)- and think of getting rid of Saudi imports by becoming self sufficient, rather than stop something that could benefit Britain enormously.

It's not about the size or lack of when it comes to the tremors.
Lancashire may be unsuitable for fracking.
This is just one small fracking operation that is causing tremors.

British Geological Society suggested the quakes were linked to the fracking activities while an independent report found ‘most likely, the repeated seismicity was induced by direct injection of fluid into the fault zone.’
That is not sensationalism.
