How would we know it wasn’t safe unless a few people had died? We should all get used to some vibrations. What was wrong with a bit of seismic activity? It never did any harm to San Francisco. People were far too hung up about earthquakes. What happened to the Tory commitment to renewables? It was nothing less than a charter for earthquakes. The gas price wouldn’t fall and it would just alienate voters everywhere. And even if they did, it would change nothing. Most Tory councils won’t give planning permission for a garden shed, let alone a fracking site. There was almost no chance of any of this going ahead.
What was he trying to prove, asked Miliband. Now people see him for the needy fraud that he is. Long gone are the times when MPs were impressed by his faux politeness and smug self-confidence, squeezed into an oversized undertaker’s suit. Miliband treated Rees-Mogg as if he was a halfwit.
Enough to lower the price to a matter of pennies and end global reliance on Russian gas.
Like Librium Liz, he seems to be under the delusion that all you have to do is bore a hole somewhere in an area of outstanding national beauty and you get unlimited supplies of gas. All he really had to say was that fracking was back on the agenda whether people liked it or not. Hardly surprising, as he didn’t seem to have one. There was a brief hiatus though, as Rees-Mogg couldn’t find his script. If he could bring back coal mining he would. He’s never happier than when indulging his 19th-century fantasies. It was left to the business secretary, Jacob Rees-Mogg, to explain the change of heart in answer to an urgent question from the shadow climate change minister, Ed Miliband. And guess what? She’s now redefined the science and we’re all systems go. So she’s had a look at the science and decided that the science has got it wrong.
