    I don't generally watch the Late Late show but the father had it on n there was some woman on informing people that she / they (can't remember who) would be sending a post card to every home in the country. On this postcard is a short message to Prince Charles asking him to convince the British govenment to shut down Sellafield, you sign the card and drop it in the post (free).

    They then ask that you pay for two additional post cards to send to the Head of the plant at sellafield and the british prime minister.
    Post cards cost €1, and its truely a worthy cause.


    Lets see em ignore aprox 1.5million postcards (each!) :)

    Another idiotic notion, from Ms Bono Ali Heuson as it happens. I laughed as Pat Kenny smiled, knowing full well that she was full of crap. The British government will not shut down anything because people in a different state send postcards (or anything else).

    Wise up.

    Mike.

    Perhaps Mike65 you have a point.

    However, nothing ever gets achieved by people sitting down and simply saying. (n) will never happen, I'd have to agree with you in this instance that the British government even under Labour and especially with having to reduce C02 emissions under kyoto will move away from (if not invest more in) nuclear power in the coming decades.

    However nothing has ever gotten done in this world by people simply idely sitting by and allowing things they disagree with to happen.

    For example Prince Charles in know to be very against (rightly In my opinion) the introduction of Genetically Modified Organisms into the UK and the British Isles, but that has not stopped it happening.

    Hopefully it would not take much convincing to get the Prince on board and as his opinions on architecture are know to have had significant influence on the construction of new buildings in the UK, perhaps if his opinion were swayed or simply his attention brought to this issue there could be a chance of bringing some 'internal pressue' to bear on the government in the UK and there would definately be a chance of perhaps swaying British public opinion on this matter, because at the end of the day, that will be where the buck stops.

    Sellafield is well past it's sell by date, significantly at this stage it must eventually be closed down and either refurbished or decomissioned as a power plant, while it is highly likely that the MOX side of it will continue for as long as there is a market for such things.
