Received this email today from Greenpeace regard fracking. Will all my friends on here please sign up and let us stop the idea ? It was intimated that he can frack under our homes on here yesterday bet they dont under. their own. Ask yourselves why he is so keen to get this disaster under way......there must be a hell of a lot more in it for him than he is making out.......dont like him dont trust him - not one iota. Camerons fracking PR disaster Lawrence Carter, Greenpeace [email protected] via bounce.bluestatedigital 5:20 PM (18 hours ago) Hi Alfreda, This is a big deal: Cameron’s mighty fracking PR machine appears to be not so mighty after all. The latest poll on public support for fracking is continuing to decline. It looks like our opposition around the country to Cameron’s fracking plans is having an effect. However it’s only the start of a long journey and we can’t afford to rest on our laurels. I know you’ve already signed the petition, but if everyone got one more friend to join, we could reach 180,000 signatures by the end of the week. Could you help by forwarding this email on to your friends? Lawrence ======= Hi there, Did you hear? Not only does David Cameron want to bribe our councils to permit fracking, but he’s also trying to change laws which are hundreds of years old in order to drill under our homes - without our permission. After hitting our local councils with endless budget cuts, Cameron’s now tempting them into dirty fracking deals by offering financial incentives that could be worth millions. He’s also trying to undermine the tens of thousands who’ve said no to fracking under their homes by overhauling ancient trespass laws. >>Tell Cameron the UK is not for fracking Planning applications from fracking companies go to local councils for approval. In a move that reeks of desperation, Cameron’s announced they can keep 100% of business taxes from fracking operations rather than 50% as before. If fracking is as great as Cameron claims, why does he need to offer bribes? Before you despair, there is some good news. There are calls for these dodgy deals to be investigated by the EU. Also, some councils have made public announcements saying they won’t be bribed, including Hampshire, Bath, Somerset, North East Somerset, Herefordshire, the London Borough of Waltham Forest, and Cheshire East in George Osborne’s constituency. Other councils are likely to follow if we come together to make our voices heard. Nearly 75,000 of us have already signed the petition calling on Cameron to keep the UK frack-free. It’s the biggest anti-fracking petition in the UK, supported by a coalition of environmental groups. But with an election coming up we must make sure this grows even bigger so it becomes impossible to ignore how deeply unpopular this is. >> Demand Cameron keeps the UK frack free Work continues at a local level to block individual applications. If you include your postcode in the petition we can let you know about anything planned in your area. In the meantime, we must also pile pressure on at the top, so please sign and share the petition today. Thanks, Lawrence
