The Guardian: Fracking protesters superglue themselves to environment department

Anti-fracking protesters have superglued themselves to the doors at the main entrance of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), campaigners have said.

The activists from the Reclaim the Power camp at Blackpool say the protest is against 63 redactions in a government report released last week on the potential impacts of shale gas exploration on rural communities.

At 8am three activists superglued themselves to the doors of Defra’s main entrance and tried to prevent access, the group said. Another activist climbed the building and unfurled a banner reading: “What’s to hide Defra? Don’t frack with our future.”

Some of the activists wore black tape across their mouths, campaigners said.
