That man is unbelievable!!!! Doesn’t acknowledge Climate Change so he’ll leave it for the next administration.  Is he playing God?  While he is in power Climate Change doesn’t exist.  Somehow it will only be happening when the next administration takes power. Now top  it off, Bush has given the go-ahead for more off-shore oil extraction.  [...]

My husband is blind.  He was trying to cross London the other day, but all the roads that he wanted to go through were blocked by Police.  Why? That man again. Mr Bush had decided to make a farewell visit to London so we all had to suffer. I wonder what any war widows, that [...]

Ah well, the Govenment have sold yet another piece of the family silver!  On 23rd April I wrote about the fact that our nuclear power industry was virtually up for grabs.  Well, the Russians didn’t get the contract. (After last night’s programme on the aftermath at Chernobil thank heavens they didn’t). The prize goes to [...]

But there are US citizens [...]

It seem odd to me that after watching a TV programme on the decommissioning of Calder Hall,  the world beating nuclear reactor that was a British ‘First’,  that this is yet another race we have lost. Partly because of the ‘nibmby’ attitude of the prospective neighbours to alternative energy generation systems we have played back into [...]
