Most folks over here don't give a darn about fracking, which will be coming here shortly if the politicians have their way. Most people here know nothing about it and simply don't want to know. It's as if they've all been sprayed with Apathy Dust.

That particular statement is not true, Lizzie. Fracking has been the subject of intense debate and protest in the Blackpool area after some fracking caused two earthquakes on the Fylde coast. There are a lot of people in the UK who are very, very exercised about it. The problem is that the people who want it - George Osborne for one - are the people in power. Please don't generalise about our people in the UK.
