I practically vomited my breakfast when I read that article.woodburner wrote:Yummy, yummy, loads o' money...........Is it true?Lancashire mills and factories were the heart of British industry. Its collieries burned day and night, helping Britain build the richest and most powerful Empire in history.
It was a golden period of prosperity. And Lancashire was at its core...
But what rich industrialists back then didn't realise was that under those mills and factories lay a fuel source more valuable than the whole Empire put together...
An energy reserve that geologists believe is bigger than the Texan oil lands...
The gasfields of Russia...
Bigger even than the oil rich deserts of Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates put together.
In fact, until this summer... no one knew just how big it was.
It wasn't until June 2013, that scientists from the British Geological Society confirmed the startling discovery. According to their findings, a vast reserve of energy – the biggest of its kind in the Western hemisphere – has lain under Lancashire for centuries.
It could be worth a lot of money – anything between £1 trillion and £9.5 trillion.

The protestors of course say its nothing to do with them, its a plot by the police to discredit...Police have said they think a flare was fired at their force helicopter from an anti-fracking protest camp in Salford.

I have found from personal experience that those suspected of having committed a crime are often convicted by a jury of their peers for having done it. Funny how that works.biffvernon wrote:I have found from personal experience that the police are capable of lying. And then running a system to cover up the lies.PS_RalphW wrote:

Nope.Completely necessary. Jury nullification is one of the few places left for the little guy to make his displeasure known to TPTB.RenewableCandy wrote:So I take it that, going by "your personal experience", juries are unnecessary!
Being executed is bad. By mistake is even worse. Fortunately we don't execute near as many as we can, being careful to not make that mistake any more than necessary.RenewableCandy wrote: Assuming you live in the USA somewhere, that means you might get executed by mistake (at least, you would if you were a real person).

Why of course not. You can let a thousand murderers out on the street or have them languish for decades in prison communing with the other less violent prisoners to avoid killing one person for the wrong murder or who never killed anybody. It will be hard to explain it to the later victims families of those you kept alive.stevecook172001 wrote:[]So, sometimes it is "necessary" to mistakenly execute someone is it?
Nope. Just the naturally expected consequence of executing anyone. Sooner or later, for one reason or another, there will be a mistake. Happens in all kinds of systems, driving cars, drug mixups from the pharmacist, poor decisions during surgery resulting in death, etc etc.stevecook172001 wrote:So, sometimes it is "necessary" to mistakenly execute someone is it?Ralph wrote: Being executed is bad.
