My Tory MP, Peter Gibson, spoke in the House of Commons a while ago to express his enthusiasm for deep sea mining. I wrote to him, giving him clear evidence of the huge dangers that this poses to the natural world. His response was to ignore the evidence and double down on his desire to see local companies get started on this mining as soon as possible. Have any other UK readers noticed their MPs supporting deep sea mining? Tories, of course, don't give a damn about anything beyond money for the few, creaming off the huge excess value of horrible jobs undertaken by people they rarely even think about, let alone meet. Labour ought to know better but I suspect the prospect of some jobs for potential voters would be enough.
