Banbury Quaker Paul Mobbs was arrested on Thursday 5 March for blocking the entrance to Downing Street. He had hoped to make a citizen’s arrest of members of the government. Paul wanted to perform a citizen’s arrest because he believes that members of the government are guilty of misconduct in public office with reference to fracking.
