Following a Subject Data Access request it has been revealed (amongst other things) that Radioactive Waste Mangement has given false information to the police/Civil Nuclear Constabulary about the founder of Radiation Free Lakeland- this feels pretty intimidating. The following is a letter to all the Council Members of the "Community Partnership" with Radioactive Waste Management. …

Caught between nostalgia and science fiction
The blatant beyond greenwashing push for labelling nuclear as “Green” comes to a head in Europe. The UK is set to become a radioactively contaminated wasteland unless the industry and governmental push for fission and fusion is scrapped –
Swapping one dangerous technology for another isn’t progress
By Linda Pentz Gunter
It’s starting to sound a lot like a Christmas carol as a growing chorus of voices clamors to stop the European Union from including nuclear power in its “green taxonomy.”
Six countries, five former Japanese prime ministers, four former nuclear regulators, a bunch of French hens (at least 20 protesters), and two heads of Italy’s major energy behemoth, have all spoken out in recent weeks against rebranding dangerous, expensive nuclear power as “sustainable” energy or even a bridge to an all renewable future.
The youth climate movement, Fridays for the Future, have also condemned the potential inclusion of nuclear power in the EU Taxonomy as “greenwashing”, with spokesperson Luisa Neubauer telling Euractiv that Germany “can phase out both coal and nuclear power and enter the renewable age.” Why, she asked, would you “swap one high risk technology, coal…

Scrap the Coal Mine- Call From Tim Farron MP
Tim Farron MP Calls for Coal Mine to Be Scrapped – rarely mentioned even by opponents of the coal mine is that it is just five miles from Sellafield, under a Marine Conservation Zone, would cause induced earthquakes and subsidence of the Irish Sea bed on which in the silts lay 70 years worth of discharge from Sellafield …do not disturb!
From the Westmorland Gazette
On the floor of the House of Commons this week, South Lakes MP Tim Farron urged the president of COP26 Alok Sharma to axe plans for a controversial new coal mine in Cumbria.
A public inquiry into the proposed coal mine closed in October with the Government expected to make a final decision soon.
Speaking during COP26 questions in Parliament on Wednesday, Mr Farron said: “It would be entirely appropriate for the COP president to comment and intervene on this – it is a political decision whether to go ahead with a new coal mine in Cumbria.
“Should he not cancel it now and instead invest in wind, hydro, marine and tidal energy that can be championed by Cumbrian businesses such as Gilkes, investing in green jobs rather than dirty, old-fashioned ones?”
Responding, Alok Sharma MP said: “I thought that…

Full scale war in Ukraine? With its 15 nuclear reactors – no more Ukraine, no more Europe
“If war is going to happen, that will be the first ever in the history of mankind, war against a country which has on its territory 15 nuclear reactors, which has 30,000 km of gas and oil pipelines, full with gas and oil,” said Korsunsky.
“If all these infrastructure is destroyed, there is no more Ukraine. But this is just one consequence. There is no more central Europe and probably western Europe would be affected, too.”
Ukraine diplomat sees little chance of war ‘in country with 15 nuclear reactors’https://www.euractiv.com/section/global-europe/news/ukraine-diplomat-sees-little-chance-of-war-in-country-with-15-nuclear-reactors/
EURACTIV.com with Reuters, 26 Jan 22, Ukraine is committed to seeking a diplomatic solution to the current tension with Russia, its ambassador to Japan, Sergiy Korsunsky, said on Wednesday (26 January), adding that he saw little chance of all-out war, although there might be smaller conflicts.
nuclear reactors would bring about a devastating regional impact on Europe.
“I believe that full-scale war is very, very, very difficult to expect, but we may see more localised conflict,” Korsunsky told a news conference in the Japanese capital Tokyo.
If war is going to happen, that will be the first ever in the history of mankind, war against a country which has on its territory 15 nuclear reactors, which has 30,000 km of gas and oil pipelines, full with gas and oil,” said Korsunsky.

Washington pumping up war fever
Washington pumping up war fever http://space4peace.blogspot.com/2022/01/washington-pumping-up-war-fever.html It’s nonstop in the western media. The message – war with Russia is coming.
An American friend of mine, now living in Russia, has two sons in the US Army. One of them said to him today, “your two sons are going to be fighting your beloved Russia.” So the troops are obviously being told to prepare for war. One of those sons, an Army Special Forces soldier has been sent to western Ukraine several times to train the Nazi death squads that have been brought into the Ukrainian Army since the US orchestrated coup d’état in 2014.
Russia has repeatedly stated that they have no intention of invading Ukraine – unless Ukraine first strikes Crimea or theDonbass(eastern Ukraine that borders Russia where two Russian-ethnic republics are located that have continually been targets of the right-wing Kiev government since 2014).
Russia constantly…

Just a reminder. Russia did not invade Crimea.
Bruce Gagnon, 21 Jan 22, Russia did not invade Crimea. They had a long-term lease with Ukraine that allowed over 20,000 military personnel at the Russian navy and air bases there.
The Russian-ethnic people of Crimea self-organized a referendum and voted 96% to seek to rejoin Russia. They saw the 2014 Nazi-led take over in Kiev during the US orchestrated coup and wanted nothing to do with the ‘new Ukraine’ regime.

Ruthless Coal Mine Operators Have Already Pushed to Override Protections While Carrying Out Exploratory Borehole Drilling
A letter sent today to the Coal Mine Planning Inspector
Dear Mr Normington,
Radiation Free Lakeland would like to bring this correspondence to your attention. The correspondence is from the Marine Management Organisation to West Cumbria Mining and It is in regard to exploratory borehole drilling by West Cumbria Mining. As you know the St Bees marine area is a sensitive receptor. It is for this reason that the small quarry at St Bees head, Birkhams Quarry “has key operational conditions imposed by Cumbria County Council planning permission 4/02/9022 which affords protection to sea birds by prohibiting blasting from within the bird-breeding season; Condition 21 which establishes a noise limit of 45dB(A) (normal speaking volume) at the nearest properties and Condition 14 which restricts operations to 08.00-18.00 hours on Mondays to Fridays.” The exploratory drilling operations by West Cumbria Mining also…
