Blog post by Donald Worsley, Labour Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Folkestone and Hythe. Ed Miliband’s decision to rule out a new Nuclear Power Plant for Dungeness is to be deeply regretted and one with which I fundamentally disagree. A new Plant at Dungeness would have secured more than 4000 jobs for Lydd and surrounding villages. Now their future as viable communities must be very...

Largely ignored by most of the media, Folkestone and Hythe's Labour Prospective Parliamentary Candidate Donald Worsley has given his reaction to the government announcement that the Dungeness site will not be considered for a new power station. In a press release sent to From Under the Stone today but dated November 9, Mr Worsley calls the decision a 'hammer blow' for the Marsh and states 'Ed Miliband’s...

I apologize to the follower of my blog that pointed out, my next post (after the lensbaby) would be non-lenbaby shots from the same location. Well especially for that person here are shots taken with a 50mm f1.8 lens. Probably the cheapest prime lens. It always amazes me when I use. The autofocus has broken so it has to be done manually. All these shots were taken on Dungeness Beach, Kent, England....

The Prime Minster has today said that Dungeness in Kent could still play a part in the country's future nuclear plans. His comments differ to the Government announcement on Monday when Energy and Climate Change Secretary Ed Miliband ruled Dungeness out of plans for future nuclear plants. Prime Minister Gordon Brown told BBC South East, "the future of nuclear power in this country is a big future...

Nothing shows more clearly that capitalism has reached a dead end in its historical development than the plans for nuclear and coal announced this week by New Labour energy secretary Ed Miliband. Nuclear power is the embodiment of the reckless nature of capitalism; the fact that it is the state that is imposing this development on society shows the extent to which democracy is dead. The 10 sites for...

In inverse proportion, it seems, as world leaders fail to act against catastrophic climate change, Transition Town mania is gripping the UK. I recently joined Transition Belsize - I can get there on the Northern Line. Tonight in the foyer of Kilburn's Tricycle Theatre I met some people well on their way to founding Transition Brent. This movement began in the more likely setting of Totnes, Devon and...

To an estate agent it was a charming fisherman’s cottage on the Kent coast. To anyone else, it was the two nuclear power stations next door that were the main feature. The cottage in Dungeness was highlighted recently after agents found no space in the “for sale” advert to mention the power plants, which were nowhere to be seen in accompanying photographs either.

Good news that Dungeness has been passed over as a site of the next generation of nuclear power stations, leading to dreams of the levelling of Dungeness A and B within our lifetimes. Which genius chose it as a site for a power station in the first place? At the enquiry back in 1958, evidence was submitted to show it to be 'the most significant shingle foreland ...in Europe, and one of the major coastal...

Today (and tomorrow) I'm off to sunny Dungeness in Kent to take some pictures: although the place is famed for its isolation there's actually plenty to see including of course the famous Dungeness Nuclear Power Station. As I'll mainly be using film this time I'm hoping that the "background" radiation won't fog my film ;-) More later and I hope to be posting live from the beach using the PSP...
