Look long and hard at that fracking map - consider the implications for Scotland.
After a YES vote, entirely at our discretion and under our control.
After a No vote - especially in the light of Scottish Secretary's plans for Scotland after a No vote - they'll do what they fracking-well like - ride roughshod over a weakened devolved Parliament (if we're still allowed to have one!) and emasculate the planning processes.
Scotland will be fracking-raped by UK Government and its rich friends.

Peter, given we have enormous oil reserves offshore some being exploited and apparently even more lying in wait down the west coast, we need fracking operations like a hole in the head and Westminster can play silly games with environmental risks as much as it dares, but Scotland doesn't and so will not do.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, what impact on Scottish territory is caused by English environmental disturbance must be a concern, however, one thing's crystal clear, if we remain tied to Westminster, we haven't a voice of any description against fracking north or south of a by then totally meaningless and useless land border.
Sometimes, I'm tempted to wonder as to just how many reasons will be tossed our way to split from this union and take account of our own lives? Like they're doing it deliberately!!!
Thanks, Barontorc.
