This news is really disturbing:

As someone who mountain bikes around Leith Hill, I hope this doesn't get agreed! I've already commented against this on Surrey Council's website (link available in above story).

I like mountain biking there but that's a side issue really to sticking a 120ft permanently lit drilling rig on an area on outstanding natural beauty. Aren't some areas of Leith Hill National Trust?

[quote="marco"]See what happens if they find oil there!


The Americans will show up and introduce regime change wouldn't they?

Might not be such a bad idea...
