Environmentalists turn PM's home into fracking site

ACTIVISTS turned David Cameron’s cottage into a fracking site yesterday as the Prime Minister ripped up trespass laws to open the way for an explosion of shale gas drilling.

Greenpeace campaigners in high-vis vests and hard hats erected security fences around the “site” — Mr Cameron’s constituency home in Dean, Oxfordshire.

“David Cameron wants to rob people of their right to stop fracking firms drilling under their homes — surely he won’t mind if we kick off the under-house fracking revolution below his own garden,” said campaigner Simon Clydesdale.
