   Fracking has been banned across the UK with immediate effect!

   The one active site here was closed in the summer due to the earthquakes it was causing, but other sites were being explored.

   This is a victory for protestors!

     @puffinus_puffinus the way the bbc reported it, it’s not actually a ban it’s just ‘suspended’. I think they went into a bit more detail further down the article

     @becky @puffinus_puffinus ahhh so it's another 'moritorium', similar to what we have in Scotland.

     Not a ban, just a pledge to not renew/allow new ones
