Gutted that this has happened just along the coast. Perenco have questions to answer; an oilfield located next to such a haven for wildlife should build in multiple levels of safety to stop accidents from ever happening.
We consider ourselves -as a race - technically advanced, so instead of ploughing money into pointless self-driving cars, let's focus on cleaning up our act & living in harmony with nature, not wrecking it with pollutants at every turn.
You can read in #Hansard, the unease in 1984 when the #Tories under #Thatcher flogged #WytchFarm in #PooleHarbour. They knew it was a national asset and showed a distinct lack of care regarding the conservation of the area of outstanding natural beauty then.
It was considered to be worth between £200,000,000 and £400,000,000 at that point.
#Conservatives haven’t conserved anything beyond statues, FPTP and wealth for a very long time.
#Brownsea island shouldn’t have brown sea contaminated with oil lapping it’s shoreline. It’s a magical haven. Complex ecosystems and rare species live there.
Given its scientific status and world renown in scouting and guiding circles, who were the politicians who signed off against the risk of pumping #oil from nearby Wytch Farm, #PooleHarbour in the first place? #Tories.
