I spent a few hours in Blackpool today meeting up with members of various other anti-fracking groups and raising awareness among passers-by.

It was an unsolicited comment from a member of the public that suddenly made me realise where the jobs that are supposed to be generated by the act of fracking are going to be needed for. Security Guards.

With between 2000 and 3300 wells estimated for Lancashire just thing of the policing that will be needed when the bomb threats start, and there are already rumours.

It's not a job that I would take on.
