Emma Thompson Sprayed With MANURE During Fracking Protest
Yesterday, a Lancashire farmer gave his two cents, spraying actress Emma Thompson and her sister Sophie with manure as they protested a site earmarked for fracking near Preston. The stunt was orchestrated by Greenpeace, who had the Thompson sisters filming a ‘Bake Off’ parody called 'Frack Free Bake Off’ on the land, which is under a court injunction banning trespassers. Protesters are banned from the site after fracking company Cuadrilla took out an injunction in 2014.
