FREE PICTURE: “Mr Fracking” anti-fracking tour of Britain visits Scottish parliament and the Palace of Holyrood House, 08/10/2014:
A 10ft pro-fracking puppet monster, Mr Frackhead, visited Holyrood today (Wed 8th October 2014), on his tour of the UK looking for places to frack for shale gas.
Mr Frackhead stopped for photos at the Scottish Parliament, Arthurs Seat and Holyrood Palace, where ‘the Queen’ tried to stop him from fracking under her Palace.
Holyrood is amongst many sites of significance across central and southern Scotland that fall within areas on offer in the 14th round of onshore oil and gas licensing. Under UK Government plans, the Queen, or any other house owner, would not be able to stop fracking underneath their homes.
