Under historic laws, that go back to the Norman conquest, 'Lordships of the Manor' have the right to exploit minerals under common land around towns and villages or land that has been brought by someone else but is still on the ancient estate.

Big cash everywhere. It's very profitable for a few, so they're willing to drop some pounds, euros, dollars or whatever, just to be able to earn more themselves.

That in doing so they spoil nature.... not their bussines.

STOP FRACKING!

Thanks Cal!
