Government are super-keen to cover the UK with new nuclear blight that has the capacity to turn the light of life on earth out forever. What with the already disastrously expensive Hinkley Point C under construction and Sizewell C being promised public money hand over fist you would think that all the monetary incentives and …
Dear Tim Farron MP, Since we last spoke I have received Freedom of Information answers regarding Sellafield’s abstraction from the internationally protected river Ehen.
