RE: New licences31 Jul 2023 21:17
This is the actual gov't announcement on the government's own web site.
If this doesn't prove me right, then I don't know what does - they don't want to grant new licences.
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/hundreds-of-new-north-sea-oil-and-gas-licences-to-boost-british-energy-independence-and-grow-the-economy-31-july-2023
The big talk - "Hundreds of new oil and gas licenses will be granted in the UK, the Prime Minister has confirmed today (Monday 31 July)."
However - further down - "Prime Minister commits to future oil and gas licensing rounds" - so no action, it's all talk, all wind and hot air.
Then - "The Government and the North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA) are today announcing a joint commitment to undertake future licensing rounds, which will continue to be subject to a climate compatibility test" - "future" and note - conditions attached.
After that there is nothing about new gas exploration but it goes on and on and on about carbon capture.
This proves me right when I say that he will never go against the orders he has had from Klaus Schwab (and if you don't know what I am talking about, lookup WEF Young Global Leaders, but don't use the big G search engine, it censors results, use the two little ducks, and see my post about the lying Dutch PM who denied knowledge of Shcwab's instructions but a Dutch MP proved that he lied)
The NSTA might announce new licences, but it will be - my mind has gone blank - what is the expression for when people do something that don't really want to do? "Goes against the grain"? No, there's a better one.
But one thong is certain - there will be no future rounds, that is total bluff, they will use that "subject to a climate compatibility test" condition to worm out of granting any more licences.
Remember the old cowboy films - "White man speaks with forked tongue" - well, Sunak plays the white man - he speaks with forked tongue.
