The war on plastic.

The government is trying to motivate public opinion to tidy up ‘the plastic scourge’.    Yet the key plastics manufacturers Ineos are also the key company pushing the fracking agenda.

Interesting details of the Misson Springs being alongside a site of Special Scientific Interest.  The planning permission says the drill pad must be constructed within another two and a half weeks from now, or they must wait unto September, when the birds have fledged their broods.

The Crane Report.  Wake up and start smelling the methane (odourless!).  Rydale Council held a meeting about fracking waste planning where 150 members of the public attended.  The room could only take 30.  They raffled the 30 seats.  Officers are trying to stop public observation of their discussions.  They failed to hire a consultant who was to assist with the fracking waste plan.  The ‘prisoners’ of Kirby Misperton are unable to get away.  Some are getting active and helping the camp and protection of the land.

But many are unwilling to engage in a little inconvenience to their daily lives and get personally involved in this fight.  They want to oppose fracking by the book.  The trouble is that fighting back the nice way, only helps the frackers.  Many local people don’t understand that doing it all by the book won’t work, as the government and the corporations can manipulate the system their way easily enough.  It’s time to get rebellious, inconvenience yourself and others.  And win.  The villagers must do what was done at Balcombe in Sussex and get their boots out and appear in person on the threatened ground.
