What on earth does the government think it is doing bringing fracking into this country. We do not need this at all. Don’t they realise that this in the end will cause the earth to crack and we will be in a real mess.

Why on earth Mr Cameron and the government think we have to do what America does every time they do something is beyond me. We are NOT LAP DOGS for the Americans as Mr Cameron thinks we are. We are a proud nation who can think for ourselves, not sheep that have to follow America every time they say jump.

We have coal which produces gas, the coal can be used to drive the generators which in turn will produce electricity. Instead the Conservatives import coal from around the world.

We could open up the coal mines again (which is not impossible) which would make our country self-sufficient instead of relying on other countries for fuel.

One more thing: to Mr Cameron and co, have you forgotten our fathers and grandfathers fought in two world wars to keep this country free and I for one am very grateful and thankful to them for what they did for us. But what does the government do? Sell our electric, gas, water and privatise our firms.

I say enough is enough and it’s not too late to bring ourselves back to normal and stand on our own two feet again.
