We have our FIRST victory! (against frackers)

[madamesilverspurs]

At present, the score stands at: Frackers 22,000+ ........ Citizens 1

But it's a start, with a wee glimmer of hope -- at long last.

1. Good luck in hanging on to it.

We scored a victory in stopping fracking in Lancashire - the local councils listened
to the people and refused the company twice - but it was subsequently reversed
in the most undemocratic manner possible: a dictat from the top.

The UK government decided to "fast-track" (= override) planning applications for
fracking operations if local authorities even threaten to block them.

Corrupt bastards in bed with the lying pro-pollution, pro-CO2 "natural gas" supporters.
