ahh Mim how sweet 
I'll be sure to pop by from time to time to see how Brighton is faring.
The main thing I miss is the quality of pub food and this forum of course . |

Don't! They're building a nuclear power station y'know. I spotted a fella in Wickes with plans for a reactor and a trolly full of mdf.
That coupled with the missile defence shield and asbesto factory that the're building here soon makes Brighton a very dangerous place to visit.

No Expert you are not very far from the thruth; when the WTS no one believe that the council could decide something so cracy, and here you have now a megadump of stinky rubbish in the middle of Brighton and next to an school (policies that even in the worse third world countries never would think of).
Have your ever thing that EDO could be expand?, are you so sure that BHCC won't dare ... |

And why is that such a bad thing? EDO are a cutting-edge manufacturer of products that happen to include components for missle release systems.
The fact that you are able to post freely from your computer in Hollingdean in 2007 is a direct result of the uk being one of the leading world powers in terms of military technology. So, its not all bad is it?

Yes, in the slums of Sao Paolo, the refuse collectors come into your shack, seperate your recyclables for you, tidy up and transport it all in silent vehicles powered by only mung-beans. All the waste is taken to an underground facility out of town where, by magic, it is turned into fair-trade products.
Come of it quest, we all like a bit of B&HCC bashing here but saying our refuse & recycling systems is worse than a 3rd world country is a bit extreme isn't it? |

I was referring that EDO could be expand to produce nuclear power weapons to be exact.
The fact that we can post for our computers it's something to be with advanced technology, and I'll think nothing to be with the military. |

EDO make release mechanisms for bombs, not bombs.
They are not in the nuclear industry.
If the nutters that gather outside the factory to try to put local people out of a job consider that EDO should go then so should all industries that supply the military.
That would include Kellogs Cornflakes a major contributor!
As well as a whole bunch of others.

Martha, in the third world countries would never dump tonnes of rubbish in popullated areas, for the simple reason of the spread of deseases from the vermin, insect or other disaster like fires, flooding that could polluted their water, and the slumps are always build after and next to the dumps for the poor people that have to benefit for the recyclables.
We know ...,here it's under control?, fires in WTS happens to often for being ignore. |

In the third world people live near the dumps to recycle and scavege for food.
The streets in third world countries have open sewers and flies and desease.
Fires happen everywhere, I suspect the fire a Rabbit in a recycling unit was the only recorded one for some time.
You listen to what you want and ignore the rest! |

You make it sounds as if hollingdean people have to pay because of people consume too much.
And we have to feed the incinerator as well or otherwise the rubbish will be brough from other places or import it, the waste business has to be profitable. |

| Someone has to live in the vicinity. Once that fact is accepted you'd be better of campaigning for what the neighbourhood is going to get for accepting the facility in their midst rather then just marching against it. One way or another it will be built. |

| It is sheer myopic sensationalism. Protesting for the sake of protesting rather then really working toward effecting change. They left me indifferent until they had the bright idea to start harassing the actual workers. That is when they lost any 'moral' high-ground they may, I say may because it was never very clear from the start, have had. |

I agree that in terms of infrastructure i.e roads in / out the Hollingdean location is far from ideal and the altering of the road to make, what was perceived to be dangerous turn, safe is simply wrong. Indeed, the infilling and redevelopment of land to accomodate new blocks of flats in this area will only make an area notorious for air pollution even worse.
However, the WTS itself is not a receipe for environmental armaggedon that the protesters seem to think it is. Rubbish will go in, be sorted and taken away again. There will be no need for B&HCC to employ a Pied Piper to lead the hordes of rats away. Brighton & Hove has been too fortunate in the past that all its waste gets taken straight out of the town and dumped in the Downs. If we have to take a bit more responsibility then so be it.
Once built, only if you have the mis-fortune to drive on Hollingdean Road or around the Sainsburys junction will you really know its there. |

Exactly. These people are happy to be "consumers" so long as somebody else deals with the aftermath.
They are happy for bottles to be driven into the city when full, so it is perfectly logical for them to have bottles driven there when empty. |

The internet being a product of cold-war necessities is but one of life's paradoxes, such as non-stick frying pans deriving from the Sixties race to the Moon. I have never understood that. Is there any film of astronauts having a quick fry-up? The eggs would surely hit the ceiling of the spacecraft and make a horrible mess.
Meanwhile, back on Earth, good cooks do not need such pans. |

I think i'd rather not have the cold-war and hope that Geeky types would have come accross the idea of the internet at some later date!
I met my partner at an anti-war protest, but I wouldn't use that as a justification for war |

Come on moon, you're clever enough to know what I'm getting at rather than the silly comment you've made above. We all live in the UK, a democratic country where we all take freedom of speech for granted. We are partly by-products of hundreds of years of war, most of them won by Britain in its various guises. Even if, like you, you are anti war, you've got to admit life would be quite different if we didn't happen to be so good at it.
Technology played a great part in winning WWII. Those genius's that designed Spitfires, Bouncing bombs etc are equally the type of genius's that work for firms like EDO. |

Yes the world would be a lot better if we were all worse at war.
