Protesters against controversial fracking gas extraction set up fake drilling operation on George Osborne's village green

摘要

Protesters held a demonstration against the controversial natural gas extraction process called tracking - on a village green opposite the Chancellor's constituency office. The process of fracking, which extracts shale gas deposits from beneath the earth, has been proposed at numerous sites across the British countryside. Chancellor George Osborne is one of the main supporters of shaLe gas energy, which has been proposed for his own Tatton constituency in Cheshire.
