The dodgy Fracking councils

The 'revelations' about council pension funds heavily invested in the Fracking industries should come as no surprise to many who have followed the blatant fraud and dodgy investments of the corporate councils. When the council pension funds were found to be heavily invested in illegal weapons manufacture (such as cluster munitions and white phosphorus) it became obvious that many of the entirely corporate (therefore private & for profit) councils were guilty of Misappropriation of Public Funds and Misconduct in Public Office by definition in Law, and should not be supported at all. This gave further impetus & incentive to withdraw any further form of consent (ie registrations & payment of local rates & taxes) to the flagrant breaches of trust that were/are being perpetrated against local habitants of counties. For locals to discover that those who channel funding to abusive 'policing', to protection of Fracking companies are the same corporate groups that invest in arms, that steal children and homes from families, that neglect roads, that sell-off Public Assets, that reward themselves with vast secure & private pensions, that reward themselves with often 6 figure pay levels and massive redundancy packages, that have borrowed vast sums privately using their registered locals as 'securities' for the high interest debts, that hold massive "Unusable Reserve" accounts that were created using millions of pounds of Public Funds (in many cases more than enough to offset all alleged debt), has obviously changed the ways in which large numbers view the local corporate 'leaders' and their lackeys!

The habitants of Greater Manchester should be particularly concerned, as should be their neighbours in (bankrupt) Lancashire. GMC is the largest council investor in Fracking, while they send their particularly nasty corporate 'police' to abuse, assault, arrest, harass and intimidate legitimate peaceful protest by people wanting to protect their land and water:

The truth will not go away. ANY councils that have pension funds invested in Fracking are in direct Conflict of Interest. They are frauds and criminals, guilty of Misappropriation of Public Funds whilst imposing the fraud of "austerity" upon the people that pay them. When enough people realise the huge con of the corporate councils, they will want to force divestment from arms and fracking industries, to force the corporate councils to reveal the amounts of Public Funds held in longterm & secretive investments, to force the corporate councils to sack (without pension) the criminals that drove whole counties into private debt & paid themselves huge sums for doing so! They may wish to STOP paying any further Council Taxes or rates to force the corrupted councils to do their jobs and serve the people!
