Oh fracking hell, don’t tell me this is starting here now?
How low will they sink?
It’s alright.
It’s only happening in the UK.
*ducks*
Any welsh forests we should worry about too? Or Scotch? Or… French? If we are going all out Gaylick connections.
UK is our problem now?
I also see a Belfast paper is on about Star Wars filming in Ulster. We are a mixed up little island.
It’s a disgrace, Joe
Amazing that those so dependent on others (read taxpayers and welfare payments and idiotic charities, and waffling university environment departments etc) are so insistent on harassing and slowing the work and productivity of those that generate the wealth that the obstructionists depend on.
Laughable
Oil – you can’t drink it.
Water – can’t live 3 days without it.
Obstruct away.
I thought you were talking about the oil companies there for a bit…
Yeah baz, it’s that simple.
A foreign news story with 8 protestors, how exciting
Fracking uses huuuuuuuuge amounts of water. Just sayin’ #IrishWater
Is that a person with a naked suit on way up dudder end of the road??
great business model, abundant water- frack and pollute source of water, get some gas/oil, reduce abundant supply of drinkable water, drive up the cost of water.
