Joey Barton took to Twitter last night to express his views on 'fracking', that's "a method of extracting oil or gas from a layer of rock by drilling and creating cracks", in case you didn't know. It's quite controversial at the moment due to the possible impact which it can have on the environment.
Barton seems to be getting more politically aware by the month. An attempt to become Joey Barton MP can't be far off.
Fracking is nonsense. Better alternative energies. They'll only be fracking if the politicians get their pockets well an truly lined...

I'd rather nuclear energy than fracking. It is not an alternative. Causes more damage than its worth.
