I know how upset and worried some people are about fracking especially about health, safety, house prices and security. From visiting sites, speaking to engineers and public health experts, I have not heard, seen or read anything that convinces me that shale exploration is any more or less safe than conventional oil and gas drilling. Hydraulic fracturing (fracking) is a technique that has been used since the late 1940s to extract conventional oil and gas.

Have to appreciate someone not attempting to roll back on their views for the sake of electoral advantage - which can be tried sometimes very laughably.
On a similar topic, yesterday we were talking about how the UKIP vote share fall in different councils was related to the Tory vote share rise. Here's a quick table I put together showing it - https://goo.gl/l4Ye3f
Ratio of 100% is where the Con rise exactly matches the UKIP fall. 50% means the rise in Con was only equal to half of the fall of UKIP.
Interesting.
The Conservatives bigger gains tending to be in the Midlands and North.
Nottinghamshire is the exception but I think there were some Conservative backed Independents there.

I'm laughing at 5% of Ukippers being in the hard Remain column.
Takes all sorts.
Cognitive dissonance is alive and well.
Also having looked at Eoin Clarke's twitter, he's so far gone it's unreal.
I hope he keeps it together well enough to post his despair should the Tories win a huge majority. I don't even want them to have a huge majority as such, but some people act in a manner where I feel enjoying their grief at a political event is ok.
Twitter will really be something to behold on June 8th.
You know, twitter really had me side-eyeing aspects of the Left in this country. Totally delusional - they even complain about people wanting the Labour leader to be electable.

Too reasonable for Corbyn's Labour?
You would welcome fracking in your back yard?
I think, having seen entire campaigns from anti-frakkers, that they are masters of persistence and energy, but also of cherry picking details and overdoing the risks, to the point that if applications appeared in my area, I would now find it harder to object, even though I would not want it to happen, which is their driving force, because not wanting it is not enough on its own.

Definitely. It's the way forward now that Scotland has run out.
Yes. There is quite a substantial oilfield in West Sussex that has been exploited for a fair while now and it is so unobtrusive not many people even know that it is there. Whatever disruption is caused during the construction phase cannot be any worse than the builders lorries that currently blight our lives.
It appears to be: 1.Make it personal - May v. Corbyn 2. Keep quiet or equivocal about specific policies.
Although May outshines Corbyn, she only has a downside as she is exposed to be somewhat robotic, secretive, untrustworthy and not very competent or likeable. Corbyn, on the other hand, can only go up as he gets more TV exposure as a decent, likable open fellow with popular policies and not at all as portrayed in the right wing newspapers.
He has a very long way to go and won't catch up with her but he's narrowing the gap. That's the dynamic.
Crossover in the first week of June is now guaranteed. My freude will be exquisitly schade.

I have finished your spreadsheet by calculating the ratio of the totals. It is 78.74%, very similar to most people's assumption of 75% or 80%.
However, as with Simpson's paradox, quoted by Fisher, the net effect for the Tories is not much different if UKIP does not put up a candidate.

I have every faith the people of Europe will stick two fingers up to these elite juries and vote en masse for bulgaria rather than that boring Portuguese song.

Made a small lay of Portugal at 1.16 (£3.02/19.02).

Oh come on, I don't think Eurovision is that bad.
And hey, most species are self serving, we're just the best at it. Very good survival trait.
But we also have consciences, unlike most of them. Morality is for those animals with the freedom to exercise it and still thrive. We'll get there. No time for misandry.

There is literally no accounting for taste. Sweden's song was the best.
Meanwhile Germany are doing badly (again).
It's ok the USA joins in about now applies overwhelming force to this European mess gives us 500 points and we all go home.
Especially the made-up ones.

Zero would have been better but never mind.
Still think they were shite.
