Several unwashed raggy clothed looking folk arrived on Kings Hill this morning after marching all the way from Michael Eavis’ Worthy Farm in Glastonbury, with protest boards and megaphones a plenty.
Upon the boards displayed a clear message “NO FRACKING!”
Screaming from the lead ‘bearded one’s’ megaphone bellowed “NO FRACKING WAY! NO FRACKING FOR US!”
Our reporter who happened to be at the scene near Waitrose, noticed the kerfuffle outside of the doors whilst emptying the overloaded coffee bean tray on behalf of the staff (just to prevent standing idle waiting for the free coffee).
When trying to interview the lead beardy man, we couldn’t actually hear the reasoning why they were here protesting. Between the scanning beeps of the Waitrose loyalty cards and the shouting, it was all quite challenging.
It wasn’t until local PCSO Windy arrived that things became a little quieter, as she whispered to one of the protesters;
“Fraikin! It’s Fraikin the scaffolders everyone’s got the hump with you melts!”
There seemed to have been a wasted journey from Somerset as word on the university street forums was misconstrued.
Quite embarrassing, although their intentions were commendable.
