Good news - Lancashire County Council has decided to not let fracking go ahead in West Lancs. Remember that if we stay in the EU then it's conceivable that in future we might have a common energy policy where Brussels decides who can frack where, and where the revenues are spent.

Localism > Centralisation (EU).

1815 Good news Wigan Borough Council has decided not to let coal mining go ahead.

It is a private industry that can damage the environment cause earth movements, injury and death. Our roads and rail will not cope. We do not need (coal) as we can still burn trees.

there was an opencast coal mine in newcastles city centre not to long ago a few streets from where I live :D

They removed 45,000 tons of coal.

They only removed it because it makes a crap foundation though lol

Good reason :D

They could have piled through it though.

I was being tongue in cheek above but with industry comes technology and fracking may even be more sustainable than a wood burning stove. :)

you know damn well they gave ridiculous scenarios for a reason.

it's not about child porn or shutting down the internet because of a terrorist attack.
it's about leaving it open to interpretation as always

Why would it be in the publics interest to slow down or shut down internet traffic during a terrorist attack anyway? because they are not talking about ISIS you realise this right?
You also must realise the term terrorist is used out of context and twisted by governments.

for example murica
definition of TERRORISM had changed three times, from describing actions taken by a government that rules by intimidation, to an action taken by an individual (or group) against a governmental body.

Yes - they've been told that the streets of London are paved with gold and it gives them hope. If they were fleeing persecution why don't they seek Asylum in the first safe country they arrive in?

There is no law that states refugees have to seek asylum in the first country they arrive at.

It is actually thr EU that has provided a specific law that lets the UK deport refugees back to the first EU country they arrived at. If Britian leaves the EU then the refugees would be free to travel anyway they want to end up in the UK and the UK woudln't have the international laws to deport them with anywhere near the same ease.

Europe wide net nutrality rules and abolition of mobile roaming charges in the same day? Sounds like a great accomplishment.

Net neutrality is a good thing but they've been trying to ban roaming charges for years - and still the ban doesn't come into force until 2017. A competent government would have had this sorted years ago.

In the mean time, our fellow European citizens in Calais seem to have been particularly vindictive today, setting fire to tyres on the Eurotunnel lines causing traffic chaos on what is the hottest day of the year until tomorrow. Merci mon amis.

Aye but if they can they always aim it at us - remember them burning British sheep alive over some trucking dispute? And the air traffic strikes that always co-incide with British half term? I don't want to be part of the same country as these people.

Oh come on you can't criticise them for that. There are many things to criticise them on but if you're shaking a stick at the time-frame for the removal of roaming charges then you can moan at them for just about anything.

'Course you can - look at the anti-competitive actions of Microsoft, by the time the EU actually managed to pass legislation to combat the anti-competitive behaviour, the world had moved on years ago.

What, like the recommendation to legalise CD ripping that took 9 years to get passed into legislation?

Didn't they just scrap that law?
 
The EU, yes. The Euro, no. Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluding themselves.

The referendum is absolutely necessary, if nothing else to shut up Tory backbenchers from trying to sabotage anything the government tries to do regarding Europe. Why is the PM even trying to force loyalty and why is it even up for discussion?

The electorate is supposed to decide one way or the other, not mealy mouthed back benchers. Get it over with asap and let the people decide.

Some of those "EU's craziest decisions" are misleading. The legislation regarding vacuum cleaners also set minimum standards for suction, so their performance actually could have improved.

The whole "bendy bananas" thing was a farce which turned out to be BS.

Stringent testing on household gloves is perfectly sensible given you're going to be using them to put your hands in ******* boiling water.
