    Notes to editors

    Limited exceptions to the ban may be required for safety or restoration purposes. An exemption is also anticipated to protect the historic rights of freeminers to mine personal gales in the Forest of Dean.

    The government has laid a Written Ministerial Statement confirming that it will introduce legislation to restrict the future licensing of new coal mines, by amending the Coal Industry Act 1994, when Parliamentary time allows.






  • That’s how anarchy has been portrayed by propaganda media since time immemorial because it scares those in power.

    Anarchy means without hierarchy. That’s it. Rules can still be agreed upon. It just means there isn’t one person, or group of elites, setting and enforcing the rules, but that they’re agreed upon by consensus.

    Just like hierarchical systems, there are many different variations of anarchy. Very few, if any, serious forms call for chaos and everything goes.

    Why? Because it would just lead straight back to Might is Right. “I’m bigger, stronger, more powerful than you, so I’ll make you do as I wish” isn’t a part of anarchist theory.

    Anarchism, despite seeming a simple concept on paper, is a difficult and complicated idea. Not because of the core principles but because humans and human behaviour are weird and hypocritical at times.

    “At least he is more civilised”

    To me, that makes him scarier. He can keep a mask on while stabbing you in the back. Trump, at least, is pretty open with who and what he is.

    Hindenburg and others thought Hitler wasn’t scary at first. They thought they could control him. Look how that turned out. Civilised doesn’t mean moral. It doesn’t mean he’ll do right for the county and people. It just means he knows his airs and graces when they’re needed.

    As Backlog said, there’s no such thing as a good Nazi.

    “Only a fool breaks the 2 second rule.”

    I was taught to repeat that phrase, at a normal steady pace, when I saw the back of their car go past something, to use as a marker (a signpost, the end of one of the lines on the road, whatever).

    If you finish the phrase after the front of your car has gone past the same marker, then you don’t have a big enough braking distance and need to ease off a bit.
