I'm just amazed they let in the BBC.



Care to summarise?

Thanks.

I am not surprised and yes, it is worrying. It's just has that
appallingly "British Leyland half-arsed" feel to it.

Of course, The BBC carefully crafted it to give that impression.



Or have they?

The problem is, I cannot just nonce into Sellafield to check (well,
not
past the Visitor Centre and coach tour (do they still do that?).

Totally refute the whole program. The Beeb did a hatchet job
basically.
I hope they sue em.


They have not really refuted the BBC's claims. They just issued a
blanket "it's ********" statement. Which is exactly what a company
who's
been caught out would do.

Of course, the BBC would also probably put a political spin on this.

So it's hard to know who's right.

Is it? Don't you believe the ONR?

In a separate statement, the UK's Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR)
said, "A considerable amount of work is still required to clean up out
of date facilities at Sellafield and decommission their older plants.
But this does not mean they pose an immediate safety risk to workers or
the public."
The ONR said it has seen "significant progress" at Sellafield in recent
years. It added, "If we considered any plant to be unsafe we would shut
it down or demand action to reduce that risk and return it to safety."

In that case, I am happy - and stuff the BBC.


IIRC the BBC have killed more people making TV programmes than the
nuclear industry has.
Maybe TV should go?

I remember the Noel Edmonds thing (I assume that was BBC) - are there
any others? Or do you mean things like revealing military operational
information? I think I read they did something like that in the Falklands.

Wasn't that about the time of Thatcher's revenge for the Miners' Strike I?

Staged crowd uncontrol (police informant/undercover agent-provocateurs were placed in the crowds to stir up emotions and leave victims vulnerable to both forms of charges, all done in full view of cameras of course) and negative sound-bites were just coming out as the internet was being discovered.
