essential background: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/bbc-horizon-does-fracking.html.
The prime minister has announced that local communities
which have fracking wells on their land will receive a massive business rate rebate,
see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-25705550.
As the lady in the second interview says, the Government are simply getting
desperate to persuade people to accept fracking. This is effectively a bribe.
This desperation is a welcome sight and it will be no more welcome to anybody
than the gallant protesters at Balcombe and Barton Moss. Here's a UK Column programme about the good work
they've been doing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4KTozjFnFc.
The opposition to fracking has spread across the world. Australia
has been hit badly, but they have hit back harder. They've even produced a song
about it featuring Leo Sayer, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xfo0hpVrtrs.
