farmer sprays manure at Oscas ar winning actress Emma Thompson

The owner of the field, who leases the contested patch of land near Preston, Lancs., to fracking company Cuadrilla, drove his muck spreader in circles around the demonstrating group. At the time of the incident, at around 1pm today (WED), Emma was mid-bake in a tent, filming a pastiche episode of the Great British Bake Off called Frack Free Bake Off to voice her opposition to the fracking plans. A group stood nearby, who were supporting Greenpeace's cause, were hit by the stinky mess, though the damage was minimal as they ran out of the way and huddled in the middle to avoid the splurge.
