This excellent piece by George Monbiot sets out the facts very well and ought finally to bring reality to bear in the UK. Few are yet aware of the threat to the UK environment including The Weald, S.Glamorgan, Mendips and not least the beautiful wild moorland inland from Blackpool.

Here in France a variety of sources are beginning to stir ( not least O & G industry propagadists ) once more after the long summer break and in the lead up to 6th October when the PS and other parties table amendments to the loi Jacob which bans hydraulic fracking. Watch this space.
Have a look at the comments after the Guardian article, some are very depressing and need refuting, or at the very least balancing. It only takes a minute to say how accurate George Monbiot's article is and how sad to see the oil and gas industry's propaganda being repeated parrot fashion by those who are only interested in the promise of cheap gas. Go on, leave a comment on the Guardian site...
