And here's another example of the corruption at the heart of this "government".

Secret meetings behind closed doors show that the Tory's do not give a flying fig what the majority or local people want regarding fracking. As long as they and their friends in the private sector can make a buck that is all that matters.
Universal Credit, austerity, the destruction of the police and the NHS and teaching services, Brexit, bungs to the DUP, the Windrush scandal, Osborne getting £650,000 for a two-day week at BlackRock (in an industry he failed to regulate while in office), these and msny more have made the Tories political pariahs.
Fracking is one drop in a Niagara Falls of venality and incompetence.
As regards the process, fracking is a method of extracting shale gas or shale oil. Both are fossil fuels and emit greenhouse gases when burnt which contributes to climate change. The world needs to get off fossil fuels as soon as possible – and shift to renewable energy.

Really ? Well that’s very telling and arguably, even though they’re doing it in secret , Unite are obviously lobbying in support of Lancashire working people. They can see the economic growth fracking will provide for the County .The unions, including Unite, continue to meet with Cuadrilla. Secret meetings with Labour’s backers.
Doesn't most of Europe's gas come from Russia and Iran? Not the nicest states to be dependent on are they?The question for the middle class Corbynistas is where do we get our gas from whilst we wait for renewables to supply all our energy needs ?
