A great-grandmother was forcibly moved from her tea table by police at a fracking site yesterday as a long-running protest by environmental groups intensified.

Former nurse Jackie Brooks, 79, has been serving tea and cake over the past month to protesters and police in Kirby Misperton, North Yorkshire, with her husband Jim.

But North Yorkshire Police told the tea lady she had to be moved over fears that she might be injured if a nearby 10ft-high tower made of wooden pallets collapsed.

This caused outrage among campaigners, who chanted 'shame' continuously. One said: 'Move your men back commander, this is ridiculous. What are you trying to do?'

Another added: 'She is not at risk', while a third told police: 'This is England, not 1930s Germany. What the hell do you think you're doing? Shame on you.'

It came after a protester called 'Eddie' had been sitting on the tower for nearly a day, and the council arrived to assess its safety - before deciding it should be removed.

After people had been cleared, the 33-year-old man was removed and arrested on suspicion of causing a danger to road users and obstructing a police officer.

Will they do anything? I doubt it - the British public vent in the Daily Fail comments section, and then carry on as normal.

It's the Blitz Spirit, don't you know - i.e suck it up as you get shat on from above.

12 policemen!

Evidently there are no crimes to be investigated any more.

They speak about democracy and freedom and yet treating people like a disease. It's laughable.
