Last Tuesday evening, I fully intended to watch a football live feed of Stranraer v Glasgow Rangers.
I support Stranraer.
However, I suddenly remembered a poster outside the Roxy Cinema in Axbridge. They were due to screen a film about gas fracking. With a Q & A to follow.
As I was almost completely ignorant about the subject, I headed for the Roxy.
The film was very illuminating.

Here it is, put together by FrackFreeSomerset .
I regularly listen to BBC Radio 4. Shortly after the current Westminster government came to power in 2010, R4 interviewed new appointees to several ministries. All were investment bankers, fresh from the City. I thought ... "Uh, .. new government brings in their friends .".
So I was not surprised to see, about 1 minute into this film, that the government has inserted
Pro-Fracking people into strategic departments.., Treasury, Energy and others. They are there to promote the interests of their corporate background sponsors, to ensure that day-to-day activities are in line with the promotion of gas fracking policies, and to ensure that every effort is made to ease the path of fracking.
What does astonish me is the numbers, the scale of it.
Film is also available on DVD from FrackFreeSomerset.
