] Date Posted: 22:08:56 12/02/04 Thu In reply to: Dave (UK) 's message, "Future Power" on 16:24:53 12/02/04 Thu As we have been talking of nuclear power today, I see that the good old European Commissioners are getting their oar in again. The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, a government agency, has taken on some of BNFL’s debts, in a deal to provide for the safe decommissioning of Britain’s nuclear plants, including Sellafield. Far from this being a helpful gesture from the Government (who after all created these establishements) in order to prevent the need for BNFL to dismantle Sellafield piecemeal, whilst disposing nuclear material in the Irish Sea, our friends in Brussels regard this as an illegal state subsidy. Consequently, they are launching an investigation. Don’t you just love the European Commission, that great Tower of Bable that serves as the retirement home for Europe’s unelectable, criminal, and otherwise discredited politicians turned political appointees, who join an Alice-in-Euroland institution where they can fester in their fraudulent ways - blissfully except from notions of responsibility and accountability, until the days when they collect their gargantuan Euro-pensions? Is it not galling that someone like Kinnock, who had received the altogether unambiguous verdict of the British electorate, should go on to represent his country at a continental level, earning more than the elected Prime Minister? Is it not laughable, were it not so tragic, that Peter Mandelson, a man sacked from the Cabinet not once, but twice, should be rewarded by such inanity, with the governance of EU trade? Are serious questions not raised, when Jacques Barrot, a man who was convicted in 2000 of embezzling £2.5 million pounds from the French Government, takes his place at the table of Europe’s corrupt elite, while the man who brought his past to the fore is threatened with prosecution? Perhaps most tragic of all however, is Chris Patten, former loyal servant of the empire, reduced to a political stooge, after choosing to serve in the sea of political pygmies.
