As we lurch along the lanes of deceit, alarm and exaggeration towards June 23rd, I find myself

sidetracked to power play of a different sort, and although I am ill-informed on the full details,

I am curious how democracy can be reduced from legions to a room - and wonder about the

ethos of those involved in the business of supplying the product.  Hence the following:

 

What care we for farm and field?

Talk instead of profit yield.

 

What care we for plant and tree

When Mother Nature makes them free?

 

What care we for bird and beast?

It helps our work if they're deceased.

 

What care we for countryside?

Power and profit won't be denied.

 

What care we for the banning majority

When we get the nod from the planning authority?

 

So what if folk face fracking hell?

Our aim is to do fracking well!
