Problems Getting Fracking Under Way: Law Change Needed.
No fracking unless King Charles gives property rights to the people, Truss warned
Under the 1934 Petroleum Production Act, all oil and gas deposits are owned by the King in his official capacity as "the Crown" which means people cannot financially benefit from shale gas deposits from their property. A former energy minister has told Liz Truss that if she wants people to accept fracking in their communities then she needs to change the law to give them a share of the profits. Tory grandee Sir Michael Fallon told Express.co.uk that he “tried for a year to get fracking to work” but warned that property rights had made it “impossible”.
Sir Michael, who is also a former Defence Secretary, spoke to Express.co.uk ahead of new Business Secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg confirming that the Government plans to issue 100 licences for shale gas extraction.
During his statement in the Commons he was besieged by both Tory backbenchers and opposition MPs over demands over whether he would stick with the principle of local consent which has been a major stumbling block for fracking.
Tory Fylde MP Mark Menzies demanded to know if the Prime Minister “is a woman of her word” in terms of ensuring local communities kept their veto.
But Sir Michael warned that the real problem is property rights.
Samaritan Exhibit.

The new exhibition, "The Samaritans: A Biblical People," opened Thursday in partnership with the Yeshiva University Center For Israel Studies under the direction of Steven Fine, the Dean Pinkhos Churgin Chair in Jewish History. The exhibition will run through Jan. 1, 2023.
The museum highlights how the Samaritans are not just a people group mentioned in biblical and rabbinic texts but still exist as a micro community numbering roughly 850 people in the modern world.
"The exhibition is an exploration of a centuries-old community that dates right from the Bible and explores biblical people the Samaritans, understanding their culture, their traditions, CP.
The Boorish NY Times.
New York Times is forced into an embarrassing apology and correction over 'sneering attack' on Royal Family - after fudging inflation figures in 'woke' story claiming UK taxpayers will struggle to foot 'hefty price tag' for the Queen's funeral. Mail.
- NY Times has received yet more criticism over its coverage of the Queen's death
- Paper has long been accused of displaying a haughty ignorance of life in the UK
- Newspaper wrote story that taxpayers were footing 'hefty price tag' for funeral
- But it was subsequently pointed out that it will cost each UK household just 5p
- NYT has now issued an apology and prompt correction over inflation figures
- The Queen's funeral: All the latest Royal Family news and coverage
The New York Times has been forced into an embarrassing apology for its latest attack on the Royal Family after publishing incorrect inflation data in a story about the Queen's funeral.
The newspaper published a story this week that, with apparent surprise, it would be up to UK taxpayers to foot the bill for the funeral on Monday.
Its report described the ceremony as a 'hefty price tag' for taxpayers amid rampant inflation and a cost of living crisis in the UK.
The New York Times estimated that the state funeral would cost around £6million, claiming the figure would add to the financial issues currently faced by British families.
But it has now been revealed that the actual cost per household in Britain will be just five pence.
Author Ben Judah wrote: 'Let me fix the headline for you @nytimes — "Queen Elizabeth II's funeral, which will involve elaborate processions, vigils and rituals, will cost 5p per household."'
Today, The New York Times had to admit it was wrong and promptly publish a correction to its story - noting that inflation was not actually as bad as it had initially reported.
Rather than the more than 10 percent inflation the newspaper had pushed, the correction said: 'The country's inflation rate is at nearly 10 percent; it does not exceed 10 percent.'
The correction added: 'While the Bank of England said last month that it expected a long recession to begin this year, that was before a new plan proposed by Prime Minister Liz Truss to cap soaring energy costs.'
The Prime Minister's plan will cap energy bills at £2,500, which economists say will lead to inflation peaking at 10 per cent at the end of this year - as opposed to soaring above 13 per cent next month as had been feared.
The apology comes as readers have been left unamused by a barrage of attacks on the monarchy within days of the Queen's death, with some announcing they were cancelling their subscriptions.
The New York Times has received more criticism over its reporting of the Queen's funeral, including a new report noting - with apparent surprise - that it would be paid for by taxpayers
Andrew Neil suggesting it wasn't exactly revelatory to point out that a funeral for a head of state would be funded by that country's taxpayers
America's 'paper of record' has long been accused of displaying a haughty ignorance of the reality of life in the UK, with reports in recent years suggesting Brits spend their time 'cavorting in swamps' and, until recently, existed on a diet of 'porridge and boiled mutton'.
For many, its latest report only confirmed this impression, with Andrew Neil suggesting it wasn't exactly revelatory to point out that a funeral for a head of state who had served with unfailing duty for 70 years would be funded by that country's taxpayers.
'Amazing scoop from the New York Times reveals that the Queen's funeral will be paid out of taxation,' he tweeted. 'Must be a first for any head of state anywhere. Or … maybe there are no depths to which the @nytimes won't stoop in its anti-British propaganda.'
Former London Assembly member Peter Whittle was similarly damning of the piece, writing: 'I can do without the fake concern of the @nytimes It's hatred of Britain is now pathological.'
Others pointed out that the Queen had served the UK and the Commonwealth with remarkable dedication and loyalty for 70 years so was entitled to a state funeral.
British conservative commentator Nile Gardiner added: 'The sneering attacks on Britain and the Monarchy from The New York Times and America's hate-filled woke Left are tedious, nasty and unpleasant.
'They may appeal to a small audience of elite Socialists, but the vast majority of Americans, who love the Queen, will not be impressed.'
Tom Harwood, another political commentator, noted that the British government was already committing billions of pounds to tackle inflation.
'The Queen's funeral [cost will] be a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of that,' Harwood wrote. 'You absolute ghouls.'
Readers have also attacked the paper for its recent coverage. One tweeted: 'Your coverage of the Queen is a disgrace, the story also does not belong to you. Giving up my 10 year subscription.'
Tom Williams wrote: I am cancelling my online @nytimes subscription tomorrow. The bizarre anti-UK shtick is just so tedious. I understand why they do it - clickbait for both sides of the political divide - but people want to pay for quality.'
The financier Ben Goldsmith said he had done the same.
The backlash came a week after the paper garnered criticism over an article by Maya Jasanoff, a history professor at Harvard University, where she said it was wrong to 'romanticize' the crown due to Britain's colonial history.
'The queen helped obscure a bloody history of decolonization whose proportions and legacies have yet to be adequately acknowledged,' she wrote in the piece, published hours after Her Majesty's death.
New York Magazine's The Cut has been seen as the biggest offender over its coverage of the Queen's death and the British Royal Family.
Critics accused the NY Times of yet another 'sneering attack'. Others pointed out that the funeral will cost individual taxpayers a matter of a few pennies
The left-wing magazine, which published an in-depth interview with the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, in August, has recently targeted King Charles in a new piece that was published online on Wednesday.
The latest story is titled: 'King Charles's Reign of Fussiness Has Begun,' and comes days before the Queen's funeral, which is scheduled for Monday.
The article points to reported that a grieving Charles went through two 'tantrums' in the days after the death of his beloved mother.
One was about him reacting angrily during a signing ceremony in Northern Ireland when a pen leaked on him, and another described how, at his accession ceremony, he 'trussed up in tails and hissing at palace aides who failed to move a pen tray off his table with due haste.'
The king apparently gestured to aides to help him to make some room on a cluttered desk.
The Cut went on to mention a report from the Guardian in which it was alleged that Charles chose to tell close to 100 employees that he was letting them go as he prepares to move into Buckingham Palace during a memorial service for his mother.
A source told the newspaper: 'Everybody is absolutely livid, including private secretaries and the senior team.'
The article concluded with one of Meghan Markle's many unproven allegations that a member of the Royal Family was racist about her son, Archie. It also accused Charles of 'mundane cruelty' to his wife, Princess Diana.

Yes, Suella. Make Sure These Are Actions Not Words.
Forget wokery and fight crime, Suella Braverman orders police
Suella Braverman said the public had “a right to expect that the police get the basics right”
The home secretary has told police chiefs to prioritise “common-sense policing” and stop focusing on “symbolic gestures”.
Suella Braverman sent a letter to senior policing figures last night, telling them to reverse the perception that officers care more about “woke” issues than tackling crime. Braverman said the public had a perception that police officers spent too much time on “symbolic gestures” rather than tackling crime.
The move is designed to stop “virtue-signalling” among police officers such as taking the knee, sporting rainbow shoelaces and posting “woke” messages on social media.
This “must change”, she said. Chiefs should ensure initiatives such as diversity and inclusion classes did not take precedence over traditional policing. Times.

Taxonomy of Persecution.
CLASSIFICATION OF PERSECUTION
In 2019 Release International redefined our Calling and Mission and the taxonomy (classification) of persecution and this now defines our Ministry.
OUR CALLING
Through the ministry of Pastor Richard Wurmbrand and Hebrews 13:3 we have been called by God to Love and Serve Persecuted Christians which we outline in the five strategic purposes of our mission:
- Raising their VOICE.
- Giving them the ‘TOOLS’ they need to live for Jesus Christ.
- Calling UK Christians into FELLOWSHIP with them.
- Learning lessons of Christian DISCIPLESHIP with them.
- Maintaining Christian STEWARDSHIP to honour them.
OUR TAXONOMY OF PERSECUTION
Taxonomy is the practice of classification and we have discerned 4 distinct categories of persecuted Christians around the world for whom we can prayerfully, pastorally, and practically help:
- Families of Christian martyrs
- Prisoners of faith and their families
- Christians suffering oppression and violence
- Christians forced to flee. Release Int.
Kaduna Worshippers Abducted.
Metro CAN deplores abduction of 43 Kaduna Christian worshippers, faults government’s handling of insecurity.
21 September 2022 | 2:42 am
Newly elected president of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Rev. Daniel Okoh
Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), yesterday, condemned the abduction of
43 worshippers at Cherubim and Seraphim Church in Kurmin Juwa community, Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State, calling to question the
effectiveness of the numerous military clampdowns on bandits in recent times.
State CAN Chairman, Reverend Joseph John Hayab, said: “The victory
songs should be lowered down until the fight and battle are completely won.
“We do not need to sing songs of victory because these criminals are on the
move, and are still having their way.”
Hayab, who is also Vice President of CAN in the North, told journalists that
“security agents should go after the criminals until these worshippers are
rescued and returned to their homes.”
He said the kidnapping of the faithful, who had gone for a vigil on Wednesday,
was shocking to the Christian body, noting: “At a time we are thinking that
progress is being made, we are back to this sad story.”
The CAN leader continued: “On that fateful Wednesday night, these bandits
took away 57 people. Some escaped on the way. As I speak to you now, 43 of
them are still with the bandits, and they are demanding a huge sum of N200
million.
“That is to tell you that on the side of us and security, we are also to be
careful. Let us not jump and be making statements and celebrating victory
too early.
“Let us continue doing the best we can in carrying out this war until victory is assured because the enemies of the people and state are still strategising to
cause more pain.
“As a church, we pledge to continue to give the support we know how to give in telling what we know to assist the security agencies in addressing this matter.
“But I think we should be more discretional in the handling of this matter.”
Hayab urged government and security agencies to redouble efforts in
stemming the tide of insecurity nationwide.
