Daily E*****s - Nuclear Is Great

Original postings, July and August 2006

• I would describe this Daily E*****s 'rag' as a government organ. The 'unofficial' mouthpiece. Dispensing required 'opinion' to inform people of correct thinking.

The argument put forward by a mouthpiece in The Daily E*****s (Leo McKinstry) about the nuclear power issue conveniently ducks the obvious very major downside - nuclear waste. It fails to even mention it as though it doesn't exist.

Environmentally clean nuclear power? With the waste issue, it is very dangerous. Actually describes it as ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY. Based on a zero emission of CO2.

This is VERY DANGEROUS propaganda

LETHAL and TOXIC

An absolute disgrace and at the same time rubbishing GREENPEACE and anyone who dares to oppose madness. Corrupt thinking. Incredibly politically motivated and a pathetic attempt at mind control. As a waste product, there will be a tax on it eventually. The tax payer will pay to clear up the mess he had no part in 'pushing' through. Profits are siphoned off to everybody, EXCEPT the tax payer.

And it can't be cleared up anyway or destroyed.

Got it yet? Have you woken up yet?

By the way I no longer buy this rag and, like Lloyds TSB Life Scottish Widows, into the darkest depths with it all. Where it belongs. However, from time to time I do compare the normal 'scare stories' (they are generally written to promote a fear) with other sources. Incidentally, this is where they'd like to 'bury' all our old nuclear waste wrapped up in concrete. Several hundred feet under ground. And that's before we get busy and 'create' more. Actually, it'll probably work out that the old stuff still exists (it effectively always will as it cannot be destroyed, only buried. Out of sight, out of mind).

Absolute disgrace and at the same time attempting to besmirch GREENPEACE and anyone who dares to oppose such madness and corrupt thinking. A pathetic attempt at mind control.

Nuclear waste can

NEVER BE...

'cleared up'

This mouthpiece for the Daily E*****s has, in the past, been praised for talking sense.

Now, do you see how

misdirection works?

Lure the readers into following opinion, becoming trapped into the thinking pattern and lead into accepting what is said. Then bowl the really 'important' political googly. An acceptance that the only way forward is 'nuclear' and that it's 'environmentally friendly' by not producing CO2. What a load of dangerous, very dangerous, rubbish. Crap of the worst kind. Verbal diarrhoea. Poisonous. Existing waste that can't be dealt with now. NOT EVER. Considering burying in concrete several hundred feet underground. Rendered harmless? Of course not, but out of sight, out of mind. That's all that can be done. It's still there. Still highly toxic.

Still VERY, VERY DANGEROUS

Imagine terrorists (real or imagined) and this store of waste. Hundreds, thousands and thousands of tonnes of it. Difficult to get at perhaps, but it's there. Not conceivable to get at? That does not make it impossible to obtain. All you'd need to do is to create an explosion under the ground. An explosion would create a great deal of atmospheric toxic pollution that could never be 'treated'. It would be in the air for 1000s of years.

Such short term in thinking
It's truly frightening

Imagine, a single (low yield) nuclear bomb to create a nuclear fallout hundreds of times worse. The challenge to alleged 'terrorists', whoever they may be, to blow it up. Policing this burial site? Like AREA 51? I doubt it. It will all be left unguarded. Probably. A clear and easy target. What a fantastic challenge. Like the destruction of a A380 superjumbo. It'll happen. My advice: don't go near this plane. It's doomed by definition. For what it is and stands for. Boeing. American? Who cares? But what a challenge! What a target!! Only when and not if.

Don't trust 'friendly' governments either. Look what happened in New York 9/11. And what it set in motion.

Fast forward to 2006

• This paper (DE: still with me?) has done it before. Working on peoples' emotions with sensitive issues like the death of Princess Diana. Still won't go away, and it shouldn't. But it's being used nonetheless. I can make a case to allege unashamed, disgraceful exploitation.

Then there's the speed camera issue being used to play another googly: championing the attack on speed cameras and that they turn drivers into criminals. Another load of rubbish. Total. If people speed, that's their choice. Stupid people buy their 4x4 'tanks' and live in the delusion that it makes them safer. To protect themselves from the problem of ‘dangerous roads’. It's the deluded 4x4 owners that are a large part of the problem! Roads aren’t dangerous, but some of the people who use them are. They'd be among the first to complain if juggernauts and other lorries were commonplace in the local high street, but so hypocritical that they drive their SUVs in the same places. They criminalise themselves. Tough. Break the law, whether that law is right or wrong, get caught (good) and expect the consequences. Most people actually think (I suspect) that speeders and SUV drivers in towns and any built up area are a total pain.

All part of today's selfish brigade:
I'm OK Jack, screw you

Get real people. And take responsibility for your own inadequacies. Like a major lack of self control. Cars aren't fast, but people drive them fast and the motor industry sells the average car with the potential to go very fast - too fast for any British roads. A greater density of ever more powerful cars, and these SUV 'tanks' (what is a Sports Utility Vehicle anyway?), makes the roads an evermore lethal place to be. The irresponsible motor industry just has no interest in safety, just making a profit. Provision of safety features? Window dressing to entice the mugs. And they can charge higher selling prices.

It's all about money

How easy it is to persuade stupid people that they really need an expensive-to-buy and expensive-to-run 'tank' to float around in. And the breathtaking arrogance of these people: parking where they like (special disabled peoples' places in public facilities, out-of-town shopping complexes, supermarkets) because they perceive themselves so important. Impotent more like. Totally ineffective as people. Useless. One of the definitions for arsehole? A place where all the shit comes from.

Isn't there supposed to be a permanent shortage of oil? Maybe, but it is an irreplaceable resource. When it's gone, it's gone. Never to come back. Certainly for the next few million years. It will be the extinct human race (today around 7 billions and still counting) who will be the future oil. The Earth will recover.

It can wait for a long, long time
