Anti Fracking Activists Target Quadrilla Drill Site In Lancashire

Security try to prevent climate protectors to lock-on at the gates to Quadrilla drill site July 4th 2017, Kirkham, Lancshire, United Kingdom.One activists was restrained by the site manager using pressure points to the neck and throat and held to the ground by three security staff on the main road outside Quadrilla's property. Two activists managed to lock themselves down and block the gates. A lock-on, where two or more lock themselves together inside a re-inforced tube is used as a peaceful non-violent way of blocking the gates to the site.The New Preston Road Quadrilla site is almost ready to start drilling for shale gas after many delays caused by local objections. Lancashire County council voted against fracking but the conservative central government forced it through. (photo by Kristian Buus/In Pictures via Getty Images Images)
