UK protesters stage mock fracking site around Prime Ministers home http://thkpr.gs/1uhLpOs pic.twitter.com/uTm6kKdTbb
Protesters staged a mock fracking site around UK Prime Minister David Camerons country home on Wednesday, to protest a looming British law that would allow companies to drill under homes without permission.
The Greenpeace protesters arrived in hard hats and high-visibility jackets, and set up a fence line around Camerons home in Oxfordshire, a period cottage in the Cotswold hamlet of Dean. Another group of campaigners delivered a mock check to Camerons front door for for £50 [$83], representing the highest level of compensation the upcoming law would give to home and landowners should a franking company drill under their property, according to Greenpeace.
The signs on the fence line read We apologise for any inconvenience we may cause while we frack under your home, and directed complaints to the phone number for Camerons office.

It is about time that I see something from Greenpeace again. They need to do things to get attention like they used to do. And this is perfect.
