[BNM] [OT] Brighton's nuclear power station?

[paul perrin]

Either way - the councellor voted that way to keep the seat - so althought
the voters appeared green enough to vote green, they aparantly weren't green
enough to actually be inconvenienced by any green principals.

I don''t think nuclear is really a green issue - most of the anti-nuclear
mob are the same underclass that jump on any band waggon that allows them to
complain about everyone else. So they have jumped on both the green and
anti-nuck bandwaggons and got the issues a bit confused.

I think nuclear power is fine in principal, I just don't trust anyone to run
it.
