Political relations between UK-EU

[Ifwecouldjust.......]

Reopening the coal mines as a state organisation isn’t going to be any worth to us when trading globally, yet unfortunately some still think it’s a good idea.

We couldn't reopen them anyway as one of the great mistakes that were made by the Thatcher Government was that we failed to maintain them and allowed them to flood. As a result we ended up importing poorer quality coal from Poland and even Australia.

Government defends approval of UK’s first deep coal mine in 30 years despite climate outcry

Once they slash workers rights they will be able to stick eight year olds down it. Job done.

Why would we want to?

Renewable clean energy is the way to go and the government are too busy with that now.

Not according to the current Government ...... must have been a large ̶B̶r̶i̶b̶e̶ donation that one.

“The secretary of state has to make a judgement based on whether the impacts of the scheme are more than local.
“And in this case, the decision was that this was a decision for local determination, and the application was approved by the local authority… a decision for local democracy.”

Seems a cop out this statement.

I’ve actually changed my mind a little on climate change. I think we’re definitely at least contributing significantly to the heating of the Earth and I’m not a climate change denier, I just think the talk of Armageddon is ridiculous.

Sea levels will rise, storms will probably become more frequent and the hottest parts of the world will likely need to evacuate people but it won’t be as catastrophic as Thunberg and Extinction Rebellion say.

But nevertheless, I still think we move to renewables, as it’s better we don’t go down the route of the above, we have cleaner air, cleaner oceans and don’t ruin parts of this beautiful world we live in.

It’s impossible to do now but we should make the effort, so long as it doesn’t destroy the economy to the point of costing lives.

My apologies for having the temerity to hold personal views that are contrary to the approved narrative for the subject of Brexit on here.

I especially regret having been so rude as to have caused affront to the the sensitivities of some posters by actually expressing those views openly and without sufficient censoring - and some times even without an accompanying content warning.

I have, for a considerable time, recognised and accepted the rights of some posters to be able to express what they like - how and when they like, whilst I should 'know my place' and seek to conform;-)

It was just a joke, lighten up.
