No More Licence To Drill and Spill

Campaigners call and rally for #Poole Harbour oil leak company #Perenco to lose their operating permits and license, to end fossil fuel extraction in the county.

Somehow I missed this, until I happened to be on YouTube just as #Coldcut were doing their thing yesterday. #Perenco suffered an oil spill at Wytch Farm in Purbeck last month.

Have you heard about the #oilspill into Poole Harbour from the Wytch Farm oil field in #Dorset? #PooleHarbour is an environmentally sensitive region and the second largest natural #harbour in the world (behind Sydney).

Footage of the #oilspill in #Poole Harbour. Absolutely awful and a lot worse than #perenco are saying.

If I could have joined the protest at #PooleHarbour today, I would have done (but I’m over 200 miles away). Great to see #XR (big thumbs up for #Wimborne group from my home town), #BCP councillors and residents turning out in force to hold oil company #Perenco to account for leaking 200 barrels of oil and who knows what else into a site of outstanding natural beauty and specific scientific interest.

https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/23416245.amp/

The problem I have with this statement from #Perenco about leaking 200 barrels of oil/liquid into #PooleHarbour is that it’s not an apology for a gross negligence at a site of special scientific natural interest...it’s just PR speak for ‘nothing to see here’.

I couldn’t find an acknowledgment or apology on #Perenco ‘s website for leaking 200 barrels of oil/liquid into #PooleHarbour today...just this sales pitch about how good the black stuff is that comes out of Wytch Farm...that on closer inspection has a get out of jail clause saying it’s not worth the paper it’s written on.

@toxtethogrady I know the PR machines of the #oil companies just switch into overdrive in these situations, but I just thought given what was at risk here in terms of nature, businesses, jobs and tourists in the area, there would be just a hint of contrition...but nope. And the #Tories at every level are backing #Perenco.

If you live in Poole, Bournemouth or Christchurch remember at the next election who your councillors and MPs cared about most - the reputation of big oil.
