The cost of the Fracking protests

Surely you mean get fracking?

 

A play on words

 

I hear the French are wanting to put money into breaking up the UK.

 

maybe its revenge for you breaking up france

 

The French have their eyes on our custard reserves...

 

...and if you've ever seen a drilling team hit a rich seam of custard, you'd know what an impressive sight it is...

 

I is sat sitting with spoon in hand.

 

maybe we could run a pipe to Russia and trade their gas for our custard......

 

Not a bad idea, although there are plans to convert all UK power stations to custard-burning, so the Russians may have to wait...

 

Why the frack dont they just call it mining . Or drilling , bleedin text lingo

 

I believe they call it Creme Anglais...They're already putting up the Yorkshire pudding barricades in Wakefield...
You can steal our gas, blight our countryside, but the Custard stays...

 

y

ive heard its @Birdy 'S custard

 

its all starting sound very Monty Python.....or The Goodies

 

spam n trifle

 

This whole fracking business is just another dash for gas....it's de ja vu...some individuals will make huge amounts of money from it...councils will be bribed or coerced to accept it, the locals will have no say in whether it goes ahead or not, and the populace will pay through the nose again, as the extraction costs mysteriously quadruple once countryside and town planning laws have been disregarded or changed to permit it...we are being raped by short-sighted capitalist adventurers who couldn't give a monkey's about anything but ways to extract money from our pockets to maximize their profits...and what do we do about it?

watch 'I'm a celebrity'....

 

We've had the same sort off thing locally but on a bigger scale a nuclear power station.
We've lived with a few on our doorstep for years now, at Hinkley point all the locals arnt bothered about it and want a new one but tree huggers hate it but then they hated the large offshore wind farm proposed and thrown out, the onshore wind farm and thrown out, Severn barrage thrown out due to environmentalists.
Ive got a big supply off candles cos were going to need them when the power runs out to light, heat, cook and fuel the car with. Just like the late 70's.

Shhhh don't tell them the new owner stn is being built.

 

This I agree with and I wish it could be done so we all could all benefit, the other objections I keep hearing are rubbish scaremongering

 

^this. Good idea to get the candles in, as the power's going to go off soon enough. The energy policy of the UK is a shambles.

I'll keep quiet about the new nuclear plant

 

It had half the groundworks done even before it was a signed and sealed thing.

On the hope that it would get approved.

 

Are you working for BNFL?
