How to start this post, difficult.So best just to go for it.

A few times in your life you may be lucky or unlucky enough to mix with the powerful ones.

Maybe not working for them but in a situation where you get to listen, observe take note how they operate.

The powerful world of money making where image and being able to speak well is so important.

Where profit is king, at any cost. People get swept aside in the rush, not listened to.

Usually working just within the law, sometimes not. On the edge best way to put it.

 

I have not been able to get to grips with why Lancashire's democratic decision was overruled by Sajid Javid and the government.

So have been looking in a few places see what kind of people advise them, talk to them, charm them even.

You have to meet one really to see what I mean.Perhaps you have.

Usually, you like them even though you know they are conning you, hard to believe I suppose.

 

Just a few times I have been close to MPS, observing, listening to them see how they operate.

You soon realise they are ordinary people but with so many issues to concentrate on they have to listen to others.Take advice. This is where the PR companies, the Lobby groups, the so called experts step in.

If you have never met any of these kinds of men or women, they could tell you to go to hell in such a way you would look forward to the journey.

 

So looking around I discovered the kind of guy who has advised MPs, Spoken in the House of Commons, European Parliament, Media,TV. Just one of many.Experts in their field as many claim to be.

This one is called Chris Faulkner, the Frackmaster as people and the media have called him.

A Texas Oilman, slick, articulate, image.the kind of man papers, TV some MPS love.

Travelled the world speaking on how Fracking was so good for us.

I will not go to deep on him, because the pages would vanish, look around if you want to know more.

Just a few then.

Gave a presentation to the House of Commons

Presented a report to the European Parliament

Wrote an article for The Guardian on why the UK should embrace fracking

Had breakfast with The Sun environment editor

Visited Balcombe with the BBC and said of concerns about contamination of drinking water by fracking: “It’s foolish and it’s silly”

Gave a headline speech at Energy Live Conference in London

Gave interviews to Panorama, BBC Radio 5 Live, ITV Daybreak and local BBC radio stations

 

I would say to Sajid Javid it is never to late to admit you and others have made a huge mistake, come on over from the dark side beg forgiveness, make right your wrong decision.

This time it is not the economy you are playing with it is our environment.Lose that and we are all well and truly Fracked

 

But today we find another side to Chris Faulkner as he finds himself arrested and held on Felony charges.

You have to see to believe how this Cuadrilla Fracking Company operates.

On the Frontline,you think you are dreaming at times.

 

Just reading what investors are saying as share prices stay down... This from forum poster:

 

[The balance sheet is fkd. The operating business is insolvent.

There is no CEO.

We continue to take loans at 12% to invest in an insolvent loss making business.

Destroying value year after year.

The auditors wont even signoff the audit opinion. Kero is the control investor and lets all this continiue - it makes no sense.

The value of the UK becomes irrelevant to minority investors if the balance sheet is fkd, and the control investor is looking to own the good assets by equitising loans it knows can not be serviced.

Dilution could likely offset any upside from monetizing the UK. Need to be very careful here...]

 

Here this Saturday at Preston New Road - a National day of Anti-Fracking Action!

Good Question Tobyjugg2 ,i will have to find out.

Trying to dig down now into AJ Lucas Group Ltd find out everything but takes quite a bit of researching.

Also links to the powerful ones.

 

I do not understand why Theresa May says we listen to the people re-Brexit.People have said across the country we do not want Fracking. but when it comes to the Frackers it is carry on boys, break any rules you like.

 

Finding small links like this worries me a little.

Just what is the effect of big money on politics.

 

Ian Taylor, the chief executive of oil and gas company Vitol, gave £15,000 on July 10.

It was accepted by Mrs May on July 13.This was for Her campaign to become Prime Minister.

 

Now we have seen before re The Payday Loan problems the huge donations given by the Sharks to the Government and MPS

In different ways.Going back years sometimes.

You have to say it can be for no other reason than money for influence now or sometime in the future.

Otherwise why would you do it.

I mean if someone gave you 5 thousand for something and sometime in the future they asked for a favour perhaps you might remember that donation.

That is all i am saying,trying to be Diplomatic.

 

Just moving back to Cuadrilla site.You have trucks coming and going off the site each day.

One of the stipulations laid down is that truck wheels are cleaned before leaving.

So as not to leave mud etc on the road and for other reasons.Cars might skid,stones that fall off if hit right by a tyre could kill someone.

One good reason is that in a field close by is Japanese Knotweed, seeds etc could be carried far and wide.

No wheel cleaning on site despite being asked many times.

 

Yesterday, finally appeared a bucket and a brush, can you believe it.To clean wheels maybe 10 or more on each truck a small plastic bucket.

You would think you are watching a comedy, but this is serious.

And this is just one thing.

Protectors when they challenge things are brushed aside, pushed away, kettled by the police, clearly intimidated.

The site manager takes no notice or appears not to.This company are desperate to Frack. Dangerous even.

They should be closed down,not fit for anything as big as this.They fail,foul up every time.

Taxpayers to pay for fracking pollution if companies go bust-2013

Minister rejects proposal to amend regulations to make companies sign a bond to pay for potential pollution incidents

But on Monday, the environment minister Dan Rogerson said that there was no case for an amendment bringing in such proposals to the draft water bill. He told MPs: "We believe that the existing regulatory framework is fit for purpose for the exploration and exploitation of onshore oil and gas activities. There are a great number of checks and controls available to us to ensure that operators comply with the requirements of their permits and deal with the wider pollution risks without adding to existing regulation."

I am losing trust in politicians rapidly.

........ potential pollution incidents

as per that govt link #176

'..At Cuadrilla's Preese Hall site near Blackpool, the (flowback) fluid was some three-times saltier than sea water and had up to 179 micrograms of lead per litre against a 10µg/l drinking water standard. It had chromium at up to 222µg/l, more than four-times the drinking water standard...'

'It is critical that groundwater is protected from contamination. The Environment Agency's Groundwater protection: Principles and practice state that damage to groundwater may be irreversible...'

Thanks for all the links.I read them all and sometimes what i read make my few hairs on my head stand up.

I am taking a look at AJ Lucas Group Limited and a company called Kerogan and a few others such as Centrica to see the bigger picture .

May take a little time.Also this weekend filming, photographing writing a story of the huge Demo here this Saturday.

Also you feel pressure perhaps coming from somewhere high to see this through, no matter what.We will see.

Feel free to post links anything you feel like saying.

Will be back early next week or earlier if something happens which it probably will.

Bye for now.

'Hydraulic fracture oil and gas wells spill pretty often, according to a recent study in the journal Environmental Science & Technology....If you feel like you’ve heard this story before, you haven’t. Most studies on hydraulic fracture, or fracking, focus on underground leaks. This study focused exclusively on leaks at the surface, which can harm wildlife—most notably birds and marine creatures—as well as impact drinking water sources. Fracking fluid contains a slurry of chemicals, many of which are known to be dangerous and even more of which are kept secret by the companies that produce them........'

Oh my! I had no idea that Shale Gas Extraction was such a big thing in the US. The aerial shot of the gas pads in the article was astonishing. All those pads in such a small area.

 

Can you imagine that view in the UK.

Hi silverfox1961.

It is said in one of the latest surveys that 17% of people are for Fracking,44% Against and 49% No views

Now thinking about that is is not hard to form the view the 49% that they perhaps do not know much about Fracking.

Just wait till they do.Just wait till they realise what these corporations and the powerful ones want to do to Great Britain.

Wait till they see the dangers do a little research for themselves.Not as myself or others are saying.

 

Well yesterday, I have photos, videos writing a story of the day, which takes a little time to do.

The day people came from across the UK and united to say No Fracking Way.

There were speakers, dancers, singers photographers.Ceremonies everything you can think of.And I sure am going to feature them on a more detailed article.

Takes time to do but Tuesday, perhaps.

I met many people, we spoke had chats. As I usually just write they did no know me but took time to chat.

I met Danny, Frank the livestreamers I put on every now and again plus Ben who was kidnapped at one time by the police.

Fluffy was there first time I met him was under a truck.

Now I chatted to Danny for maybe five minutes.He is clued up on Fracking, and I like the way he is now while livestreaming talking and linking articles about Fracking as he livestreams.

 

Also realised I am getting older now, they all look so young.

Shattered at the end of the day could hardly get into the car, aching and slept for ten hours straight when arriving home.

Last thing I remember was a policeman asking me if I would be coming again, see you next week sometime youngster was my reply.

 

Till my article on the day I will leave you with something for now.

This is when People from across the UK marched to the Cuadrilla Site to remind Cuadrilla and the Government We Said No.

Bye for now Tawnyowl.

I do get a little excited at times and maybe just maybe a little biassed:lol:

But it sometimes if you spell things wrong as an example makes people read things twice and do a little research.Damage limitation exercise.:madgrin:

Hope I have got away with that.I do not want to read Cuadrilla using my maths today as an example of things.

If they do i will go after them twice as hard as I am now.

Going to anyway next week:-(

Thick Frackers, or desperate Frackers who are going to lose more than their shirts and slow to react investors in AJ Lucas Group Ltd. As for the Government and their decision to overturn Democratic decisions, words fail me.

The future is renewables even the Gas Companies, some of them are looking for a way out as rapidly as they can.

Look around the world see the amount of jobs in renewables then check out what our government is trying to do and why.

 

For the first time, Dong reported its oil and gas assets as discontinuing operations, ahead of a planned sell-off of its fossil fuel assets. The firm also announced plans to remove all coal-based generation from its portfolio by 2023.

 

According to the group chairman, earnings from wind power exceeded that from oil and gas production for the first time.

From an article.

Wind is now Dong's biggest earner

‘Shell knew’: oil giant's 1991 film warned of climate change danger

 

http://Https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/feb/28/shell-knew-oil-giants-1991-film-warned-climate-change-danger

 

 

 

 

Key bit being that the projected models of human induced climate change from that film and report of 26 years ago maps very accurately on what we have seen over the last quarter century.

 

Our dependence on oil MUST reduce.

The following could end up very relevant and highlight a number of issues with the current governments policies and practices in the area of energy and renewables.

 

http://uk.reuters.com/article/us-britain-greenbank-sale-idUKKBN1684E2

 

There are rumors that the government chosen preferred supply has a history of questionable asset stripping and environmental practices and that the preferred bidders 'bid' was effectively unrealistic BS

given alot of evidence to the contrary re 'spills' in general, can the n yorkshire frackers boss state for sure that there will be 'zero chance of water contamination..'

http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/fracking/zero-chance-of-water-contamination-insists-boss-of-yorkshire-fracking-site-1-8415242

 

 

"He said the bore hole is fully sealed from the surrounding rock and drinking water is not extracted from the aquifer in the area around Kirby Misperton"

 

Well simple facts are that

1. There is NEVER zero chance of anything failing

2. Simple water isnt whats injected, and certainly isnt what comes out (by design)

3. Never mind the bore hole, bad as that lie is, What about the hydraulic fracturing of the rocks etc that give this technique its name?

They go wherever weaker spots in the earth take them out, down, up - all over and is pretty much by its very nature uncontrolled and uncontrollable

 

Which makes him a liar on multiple counts

that govt report posted a bit back #176/7 relied on evidence from the US that frucking does not increase seismic activity.

well, '...A lot of evidence is coming to light that definitely links fracking with seismic activity, and states that engage in plenty of it are more likely to experience 3.0M events than others. It is no coincidence that frack-heavy Oklahoma is shown to be at a higher risk of major quakes in 2017....'
