Take this quote from Professor Ian Fells , from an article in the Express : “For a long time I have thought that the wind power bubble would burst. I think that’s starting to happen. Ed Miliband tells people that to oppose wind farms is morally indefensible, but as more people start...

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...

Herman van Rompuy is now virtually assured of the position as the new EU high commissioner. Tony Blair did not get the job apparently because other leaders feared he would overshadow them. You can definitely see their point, although it certainly waters down the post when Van Rompuy is selected because of his comparatively low profile. A cynic might say this is a post without power.
