SIR – I must admit I know nothing about fracking and I think most of the protesters know nothing about it either.

I think they are protesting for the sake of it. It’s just a big game to them.

The police should stop the protesters camping round the site in West Sussex and tell them to get on with the work because it could be a good energy source for years to come.

But with all these protests about, is it worth the company trying? I don’t think so.
