Great Economic Potential

"I also look forward to meeting with Chairman Kim who realizes so well that North Korea possesses great economic potential!" 

So tweets Donald Trump.

This is why I strongly support the exploitation of the vast reserves of coal in this country and in this county. 

That, and the extension of civil nuclear power, are the means of delivering highly paid, highly skilled, high status, unionised jobs while securing independence from Arab oil, from Russian gas, and from coal that has been mined using child and slave labour.

From North Korea, Donald Trump intends his dynasty to supply a dependent world with the coal of the Kim dynasty deep into the twenty-second century. Yet we have our own, right here under our feet. 

Horror stories about how coal was burned or mined in the Britain of the twentieth century have no relevance to the Britain of the twenty-first. 

At the same time, I am totally opposed to the open-casting of the Pont Valley or anywhere else, digging up hardly any coal while employing hardly anyone. On those same grounds, I am also totally opposed to fracking.

Another hung Parliament is coming, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it. Justice for the 472 would be an absolute condition of my support for any Government, even a Government headed by Jeremy Corbyn.

It has become a local commonplace that I am on 30-30-30 with Labour and the Conservatives here at North West Durham, so that any one of us could be the First Past the Post.

I will stand for this seat, if I can raise the £10,000 necessary to mount a serious campaign. Please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
