Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
The councils decision to refuse Angus is again completely against NPPF.
No planning law has changed just because the sentiment of the press has flipped.
Exploration for minerals is allowed in a national park.
Just like the clapham common protest fiasco. The law is there for a reason.
118 women have died this year to violence, absolute peanuts to the 125,000 that have died due to Covid. The courts were right to ban the protest vigil organised by “reclaim” who were formed as an off spring of the Twyford Down protest camp when I was driving a triumph herald!
The poor police were just trying to police a decision of the High court, our Justice Houlgate ( who threw out the HorseHill challenge )
Covid has not gone away.. I have a friend who’s mum is fighting for survival.
I lost two clinicaly vunerable contacts in feb. And another work colleague to a heart attack... and these twassacks decide it’s their “right” to have a protest
Anyway... if Angus choose to appeal they too will have a strong case.
.
Sorry but the planning officer couldn’t even defend / remember his own planning recommendation to approve published 10 days ago! And a councillor replies “for gods sake”
You can’t make this stuff up!
It was a witch hunt
Let’s remember at the last site visit the Councillors made they couldn’t hear the peaceful countryside because there was a shoot going on in the woods!
How they forget! Hidden away in their back bedrooms they all get very very brave.
We don’t need oil! No... turn the thermostat up I’m a bit chilly dear..
How many of them are on green electric heating ;) ....... or is it mains gas, oil tank in the garden? Logs??
The meeting was a farce , two were going to vote before the beaten had finished.
We need councillors to turn their heating off for two weeks in March to prove their solidarity with net zero.. and then vote again
Planning policy doesn’t matter when you are woke councillors.
Whilst you are correct Broadford bridge is the only field 100% to UKOG it includes Loxley
Horse hill is 85% and the IOW is 95%
Whilst we are on semantics
Why are investors “ mug punters” lol
So if we invest in children’s education
Parents ant tax payers are also “ mug punters “
Mind you .... there are a couple of 16 year olds I know I would like to divest from :-)
Cynders. The fact is a trailer was dropped off. The rest is made up.
You are CLAIMING the oil didn’t meet standards, where is your proof?
You haven’t seen me claiming there’s no water. With lockdown there isn’t enough info on the oil to waste tankers to make serious observations.
You are just as guilty of false claims as those you are accusing!
We could also correct the spin of the world rather than adding 1/4 of a second each year. We could slow down the earths spin by facing all the the redundant jets east, chain them down and put them on 72.4% thrust for 18 min 12 seconds ??
Yes Norway have so far invested the money wisely. However there is a blindness about eco vanity projects where people fail to look at the cost per unit. So I might be paying 2-3p per kw of heat ( gas)
And 14 p per kw of electric. I might be happy/able to pay 10% more for cleaner energy.
That dos not mean I can afford 16p for my heating,
Also anyone on oil heating knows the anxiety of an empty tank and a two week wait for a delivery
But if the wind drops off there is no storage tank!
Norway is a strange country. Before the oil they made money from fishing and ship industry.
They also shipped out minerals mined in Sweden
People were relatively poor
The oil made Norway rich but the young people who can’t remember being poor want to go electric and turn off their oil industry.
I don’t know that the electricity industry can replace that income and the luxury life they have become used to.
I fail to see why this was even entertained as an appeal.
You can out count downstream emissions as you don’t know how the oil will be used.
It may be used as paint or to make plastics including insulation and turbine blades.
It may be used in a power station with carbon capture
It might go into one of the cleanest euro6 lorries with add blue scrubbing the emmisiins, or an ancient diesel merc being used by the horse Hill protestor at the camp.
Also the emissions are counted twice, once in production and again on use..
