Iraq the toughest of decisions?
There were no WMDs.
But still he went ahead.
The most catastrophic and disastrous foreign policy decision ever made by a British PM.
And look at the consequences that followed.
Class act.
Do me a favour.

No Len, you do us one. Yet more sanctimonious nonsense from you. We all know you'd have exactly the same view of Blair had WMDs been found. It's just a very convenient excuse for you and others to justify their bile. Bile which is in the main down to Blair dragging the Labour party to the right, well away from what you think is true Labour. And then utterly infuriatingly, winning general elections with these more moderate policies.

He's shown you lot up and that's why you hate him. Iraq has bugger all to do with it.

As a matter of interest - I mean this genuinely - why are you posting this stuff? We had a general election, you lost. It's like you're hoping to have it cancelled or something.

As I said before, are we going to have to put up with 5 years of this and you posting about lie #1476 etc. You need to move on mate. Everyone else has.

I am convinced you never read the articles that you link to, just the headlines.

Which specific line in that article says that they are "allowing fracking"?

"It should be noted that the Government has made clear that on the basis of the current scientific evidence, and in the absence of compelling new evidence, it has taken a presumption against issuing any further Hydraulic Fracturing Consents. While future applications will be considered on their own merits by the Secretary of State in accordance with the law, the shale gas industry should take the Government’s position into account when considering new developments."

Any future applications will only be approved if safety standards are raised. Are you saying you'd be against shale gas retrieval if new methods proved it was safe and did not affect the environment? Because that's the Government's position; once you've proven it's safe, and falls in accordance with the law, applications for shale gas exploration will be considered. That's just common sense.

They never said they were banning it either.

Correct. Fracking itself as a method has been banned for the time being as the method has come under intense scrutiny, but not shale gas exploration, which is pretty much what the Government are considering allowing in the future once more studies prove it's safety.

"It should be noted that the Government has made clear that on the basis of the current scientific evidence, and in the absence of compelling new evidence, it has taken a presumption against issuing any further Hydraulic Fracturing Consents."

The Tories didn't know what they were voting for. :)
