    What a crap title.

    Never seen a folk living near to any fossil fuel power plants who are unemployed.

    BBC One show reporter yesterday: “Fracking in Cornwall is great! It’s a boost to local jobs, don’t you agree, 16-year old wearing a hard hat?”

    16-year old with hard hat: “Yes, I -”

    BBC One show presenter to other presenter: “Wow, so good for the cornwall, and a boost to their local economy, don’t you agree?”

    Other BBC One show presenter, looking at camera with dead eyes: “Yes.”
