    When Oscar-winning actress Emma Thompson joined a group of protesters near a proposed fracking site earlier this week, the farmer who leases the English land apparently didn’t take kindly to their presence. As Thompson and her sister Sophie took part in a satirical “bake-off” under a tent to highlight cuisine created with renewable energy for a Greenpeace video, the farmer added his own flavor to the ingredients.

    Protesters have been banned from the area since a 2014 court injunction, the Guardian reported. And others besides the farmer weren’t happy that Thompson and company violated it.
    “There are a lot of jobs at stake potentially,” Lee Petts of the North West Energy Taskforce told the BBC. “And that may not mean much to Emma Thompson, as one of the world’s most highly paid actors, or to Greenpeace, but it means a lot to local people that want jobs in place.”

    I'm guessing he's more of a "get off my land" versus a "you're trespassing on my property" kinda guy.

    i had some fun with a guy about 5 years ago that was parking on game commission lands right at the state line walking in and crossing over hunting on my property without my states hunting license . Ya ,,, I got connections and had his plate run to check for valid state hunting licenses.
    Every time I hunted him down he'd boogie. Had tail feathers In My sites a few times.
    Got sick of the chase so every morning when I was checking my traps I made sure to drop by his parking spot about half hour after daylight when I was sure he was in the woods and proceed to leave the nite befores stir fry well digested right at his drivers side doorstep !
    :D:D:D
    Took about a week for him to get the hint. Haven't seen him in 5 years.
