I READ where Peter Mandelson is assuring us that the above Ghost War Ships are safe. All the rats on board maybe be free of the plague; and all the other pollutants may be contained and buried safely for other generations to worry about.

Not in the US of A but in the good old U of K?

Now there is the other funny thing, health apart, who else is making millions out of this project, America does not want?

We should always worry when members of parliament, without the technical qualifications for advising us anyway, make a point of saying that something like this is safe?

We hear them spout their rhetoric everyday, from GM crops to nuclear fuels to mobile phone masts, to beef and so and so forth.

Much better they kept to local matters, like asylum seekers, benefits, pensions, elderly care, this sort of thing. Don't you agree? Write to your MP.
