eastcoast 4,871 Posted Thursday at 19:16 Report Share Posted Thursday at 19:16 I read something recently, online news so may not be true, that some European countries are re-thinking their fossil fuel power plant policies due to the current situation. Plant that was scaled down or mothballed to comply with environmental policies. Apparently the UK cannot do this as we no longer have the existing infrastructure still in place unlike other countries. Something that I have said before, I do not believe that any other country in the world would just sit on the coal reserves that we have. Starmer cannot be blamed for that of course, Margaret Thatcher started it by playing the Green card in order to get middle class Labour voters on board with defeating the miners. But how many years have passed, how many Governments have ignored it. Rather than ignore this massive resource that we are standing on should they not have been investing in research and development to use this resource in a more environmentally "friendly" way? Some day some one will mine it. After we have emasculated our armed forces to such an extent that we can no longer defend ourselves and an aggressor will just come and take it. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great post, with our coal, oil and natural gas supplies in the north sea, we should be a very wealthy nation, with free education system's for our native born children and peoples in general, imagine the massive change in the nations with the vast wealth that could generate, no more poverty, a special army making drug dealers disappear overnight, our industries booming again, a full reform of our nhs, and civil service, any corrupt politicians go with the drug dealers, its should be run by proper people for the people, but the retards in parliament dont want that Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now, I was a young bloke in the 80s and like many in my area a fan of Thatcher and the Thatcherite attitude that pervaded the time……but looking back, I can see that it was Thatcher who opened the door for all that came after ! She didn’t protect our industry or communities, she opened them up to get raped and destroyed ! She broke our nation to a point where it is now almost impossible to fix and allowed those who would betray us in to hollow us out as they saw fit ! Now that hollowing out process is almost complete and all they have left to steal is the money in our pocket, we don’t have the ability to look after ourselves ! None of our politicians of the last 50 years come out of this with clean hands, they are all traitors Thatcher included ! 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
