@Yurt_Dweller @Bro-Drillard @pinemarten This wasn't always the case. Though historically you can thank a combination of the unions and privatisation for making it this way.Taking coal as an example, when they closed most of the pits they still had plenty of coal in them and they're still finding potential open-pit locations even now (not that they'll do anything with them). The unions ran the industry like the mob, shot themselves in the foot and ultimately made domestic coal production untenable. The chief organisation behind coal production, the NCB (National Coal Board) had always been planning pit closures, despite what midwits will tell you about the "Tories killing coal", and had been busily feathering their nest under the guise of LoOkINg aFtEr ThE wOrKeRs. If you look into the assets of the NCB (especially property) at its height it would make mobsters spit out their gabagool.The moment the NCB became the British Coal Corporation and a private entity, it did more asset stripping than any former government and essentially wound up coal production in the UK until its eventual death in the 2000s. This is why we're now reliant on imports. People will always cite that we only have a couple of years worth of reserves, though this is bullshit, this is only based on extracted coal (of which lots has gone "missing"), our real reserves could happily keep us going for decades even under the current rate of consumption.But hey, at least we have off-shore wind power. Right guys...(Don't even get me started on gas.)

@Yurt_Dweller @Bro-Drillard @pinemarten Tell me about Bane. Why does he love the gas...The biggest problems the UK faces with oil and gas production is lack of investment and NIMBYism.With gas, we have a severe lack of native storage facilities and with oil, we have a lot of oil we simply cannot process because we lack the facilities to process it. Environmental groups have put so much legal and political pressure on proposed refineries and storage sites, that companies just aren't interested in fighting those battles anymore. They're lengthy, costly and give them bad PR.There used to be three major refinery and storage facilities on the Thames estuary. There are now... None. There was infrastructure there waiting to be used, but nobody wanted to buy them at the asking price. The rumour is the prices were deliberately jacked up to avoid the sites being used for the intended purpose and instead turned into more shitty industrial estates that will be half-empty within a decade of their construction (we have a lot of those in the UK). Even the Russians put in a bid for them (I think it was Fund Energy). These were major sites with road, rail and sea links just sitting there ready to go. But rather than secure the UK's energy independence going forward into the 21st century, we decided to save some fish and seagulls.Conservation work is a massive grift around any sites like these. There are a lot of parties involved (like the Standing Environment Group For The Greater Thames Estuary, which is a who's who of corrupt local councils) and Lord knows bureaucrat gang likes to keep it's beak wet. Its even worse in the aggregates industry. I did some work at one of the refineries, Coryton, when they were in the process of handing it over from Mobil to BP. While I was there one of the managers asked if I was interested in any of their old kit. He took me to one of the docks where there cargo containers piled high full of PCs, office furniture, industrial equipment etc that had been stripped out prior to the refit by BP. Hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of stuff just crammed into cargo containers and left to rot. These companies aren't afraid of spending money, so it makes you wonder just how much it takes to make a deal on an operational refinery unattractive.There is a natural gas installation where I live. The only catch? Its in green belt land. There was rumoured to be enough gas there to keep the surrounding counties running for about twenty years. Because of its location the idea was shitcanned straight away because of public pressure. Lack of infrastructure (noticing a trend yet) meant that it would require a serious investment and interruption to the surrounding area to make it feasible, and God forbid Joe Land Rover can't get to the golfing range in good time because of the upheaval. They didn't even cap the site. It just sits there and has regular burn offs. Every few months the countryside pays homage to Blade Runner for a couple of nights.When this country still had some industrial clout, gas storage facilities used to dominate the skyline of cities and towns up and down the country. These have gradually been torn down for redevelopment (read: more industrial estates that remain empty), but no effort has been made to replace them or even innovate the way we in which we store our gas. How mismanaged does a country have to be where it could easily be energy independent, yet lacks the will, the balls or the money to build the infrastructure required to do it?(Sorry for meandering. Typing this between jobs!)

@Bro-Drillard @Yurt_Dweller @pinemarten Far more succinctly put than I did, but yeah.Local councils are run like fiefdoms, with very little apparent central government oversight outside of dictating their annual budget. We haven't quite moved on from feudalism, despite the Tenures Abolition Act.The people are largely responsible for this banana republic attitude though. Destroy the urbanite is great and all, but when you get out into the sticks over here, the people are just as myopic, obstinate and selfish. They never used to be like that. Back when Middle England and the farming communities weren't just a place for the middle class to escape to, things weren't too bad.Case in point, back when they were first establishing the mobile phone network over here, one of the farmers where I live was offered a lucrative deal by Hutchison Telecom to have a mast on his land. Nobody objected. It was a no-brainer as there was no coverage and the forward thinking farmers knew they could use a mobile phone instead of a radio. The land in question had a large rock formation on it which was one of the local landmarks. Hutchison had the common sense to place the mast behind the rocks so as not to be an eyesore when seen from the road. The farmer netted a quarter of a million and their mobile bills paid for life (a deal which still stands).Had that been proposed today there is no way that deal would have gone through. The demographics have shifted too far in favour of cunts that only know how to communicate in hashtags and can only conceptualise things that affect their property value. These are the sort of people that write to the council to complain about a farmer making his own solar farm... Which can only be seen from the air.

@DK_Dharmaraj The funniest thing about all this is that the niggers that aren't monosyllabic have known about the jews all along. Rap lyrics are strewn with shots at the kikes, especially the stuff written in the 90s.
