Not sure if I should laugh or shake my head in despair when I read this.

Still wonder if someone is having a laugh - but apparently not.

So here we are faffing about with severe regulations for our own Shale Gas extraction and yet UK taxpayers money via our Overseas Aid budget is being used to help China’s Fracking development.

According to The Independent, circa £2M from the Prosperity Fund has been given to Brazil, Mexico and India for this.

Amazing....
