Here's a nice drink of tap water for frackpologists:


Frack off.

This is what happens when ever more alienated and misinformed voters make impetuous decisions and then go, "wait, whoa - did I really just give my keys to a valet that looks like Charles Manson?"

That's hot water isn't it? There's gas coming out.
In either case, the whiteness tends to disappear if you let it sit for a moment. Most tap water on the east coast, that I've had, looks like that tbf.

....no it doesnt

[rickyarbino]

Yes. I am lying.

[DrGatineau]

well i dunno where you're getting your tap water man but mine's never looked like that. always looks clear.

[rickyarbino]

DC/NY mainly. It's not as bad as it is in that image, but that does settle and fade. Not sure what it is though.

[nowaysj]

Rayman, as a citizen of Pennsylvania it is illegal for you to use the word fracking, allude to the process of fracking, or consider thoughts regarding fracking. Just so that you know. A clean mind is a healthy mind.

her fingernails are ok imo, better than mine anyway

We go from immigrants to tap water-as you do.

UKIP candidate for Wells Jake Baynes resigns:
claims Glastonbury occult infiltrated party


This man is not Jake Baynes, but a decent stand in for this picture's purposes

One of the highest-profile Ukip candidates at the next General Election sensationally resigned tonight – along with his local party chairman – amid bizarre claims that the party had been ‘infiltrated by the Glastonbury occult’.

Jake Baynes was due to stand in next May’s election for Ukip in the Wells constituency, but resigned – claiming there was civil war within the party in Somerset and a vendetta against him, and he ‘wanted nothing more to do with politics’.

The Wells Ukip branch chairman Graham Livings also quit his post, claiming that the Somerset party had been ‘infiltrated’ by ‘devotees of the occult’ based around the alternative community in Glastonbury.

But two leading members of Ukip in Somerset, who run a healing centre which claims divine intervention from the Archangel Michael, dismissed the ‘occult’ claims as ‘ridiculous’.

Mr Baynes first hit the headlines in Wells five years ago when he and the local party refused to bow to pressure from Ukip’s national executive not to put up a candidate in the 2010 General Election. Ukip’s national leaders feared the long-standing Euro-sceptic Conservative MP David Heathcoat-Amory would be defeated by Ukip splitting the Tory vote. That did indeed happen, and Liberal Democrat candidate Tessa Munt was elected by a slim majority.

Mr Baynes was selected again by the Ukip Wells branch in the spring of this year, but said that within a day, a campaign from within his own party had begun against him. It appears to have culminated with both sides of the internal civil war within the Wells branch contacting national Ukip chairman Steve Crowther.

Wells Ukip branch chairman Mr Livings said yesterday that he was also quitting his role last night, and pointed the finger at ‘an infiltration of occultists’.

Mr Livings said: “Jake Baynes is a great loss to Ukip because he’s just the profile of person the party needs. I was a founder member of Ukip down here but what happens when a party grows – you get infiltration into the membership. The Glastonbury occult crowd have moved in. They are oddballs putting on these weekend retreats where they guarantee the angels will be present, and the public can be very wary of that sort of thing.”

Mr Livings added: “Ukip has a prescribed list which states that no one who has been a member of the BNP or the English Defence League should be a member, but when they sat down and wrote out the prescribed list, they wouldn’t have thought to put occultists down. I’m nervous about the occult and many people I know who’ve seen that these people are involved in Ukip have said, ‘well, I’m not voting Ukip with them in position’.

“These people say that they take angelic guidance and defer in all things to St Michael the Archangel – and at the same time we’re experiencing such vitriol and bile from them. I don’t have to put up with it, so I am resigning,” he said.

Mr Baynes, 40, said he first experienced a campaign against him as soon as he was selected as the PPC for the Wells constituency in the spring.

“Something has gone on and I’m not quite sure what it is,” he said. “As soon as I was selected, there was this complete change, and I think the committee of the branch didn’t vote for me. It’s got so bad that I really want to get out of it – I don’t want to get involved in politics again.”

Mr Baynes, 40, said he suspected factions against him had even sent an anonymous letter to the headteacher of the school where he works as a teacher.

He told the Western Daily Press: “Wells is a bit fractured. There are elements within that are not quite right. Within days people were plotting against me, telling me I wasn’t a suitable candidate. I thought I was a suitable candidate, and I was selected by a vote. The letters and emails and accusations against me are unfounded.

“They say they get their divine inspirations from the Archangel Michael, and to be honest, I don’t think that has a part to play in politics,” he added.

Mr Baynes played down Mr Livings’ claims of an ‘organised infiltration’.

“Is there an orchestrated movement of the occult to infiltrate the Wells branch of Ukip? I’m not sure it’s that big. I’ve just had enough of all the in-fighting.

“I have stood for election for Ukip twice now and both times I seem to be always fighting my own party, either nationally like in 2010, or locally now, rather than fighting the federalism of the European Union.

“I’ve realised politics is a very ugly, dirty business, and I want nothing more to do with it,” he added.

Two of the main campaigners, internally, against Mr Baynes’ position as PPC, and Mr Livings’ chairmanship of the Wells Ukip branch are husband and wife Glenn and Colleen Tucker. They run the Angelic Guidance and Healing Centre in Glastonbury.

Mr Tucker stood unsuccessfully as a Ukip candidate in the county council elections a couple of years ago, while Mrs Tucker is currently the Ukip Somerset county treasurer.

“As soon as Jake was selected he was told ‘this is a disaster, you’ve not got the support’,” said Mr Tucker, before last night’s shock resignations.

“Jake published a letter lambasting Graham Watson, the former MEP, almost to the point of libel, and he is not obeying the rules of Ukip in writing letters to the newspapers that could do damage to the party.

“Ukip are not out to demonise everybody. There’s been a huge problem and we have reported it to the national party chairman. We’re saying Mr Livings should be removed as chairman and we have 12 or 13 signatories to a letter to support that,” he added.

“None of us are resigning from the party, but we can no longer work with them. It’s a personal vendetta from Mr Livings to attack anybody who has disagreed with him.

“He accused us of being part of the occult, which is ridiculous. We’re one of 110 members of the Angelic Reiki Association, and reiki healing is virtually mainstream.

“What we do here has nothing to do with our involvement in Ukip. We’re not without a good reputation, and we’re stalwarts of the community in Glastonbury,” he said.
