Today’s Sun carries an article written by Nigel Lawson, ex Chancellor of the Exchequer, and chief cheerleader for fracking. It is a masterpiece of bad logic and polemic, spiced with arrogance and stupidity. The sad thing is that people will read this rubbish uncritically and believe at least some of...
I am obviously not referring to the comments on the Telegraph pages which seem to be the unique preserve of a certain kind of swivel-eyed, anti-EU, foaming at the mouth Farage-alike. I am referring here to the Guardian comments on a “Comment Is Free” article penned by an American politician...

Interviewed this morning on Radio Lancashire Francis Egan, Cuadrilla’s CEO, made the absolutely astounding claim, that “the actual spend on any development itself would run into several hundred billions, most of which , we would hope would be spent in Lancashire.” The country’s biggest shale gas cheerleader, the Institute of...
