The harsh fact is that nuclear accidents leave a legacy of sicknesses which develop over the years and are spread across the globe. If the wind blows you "hot spot" particles to breath in or eat and those hot spots causes you cancer, it doesn't make much difference if your friends have them or not.. Those ones are yours. This means that countries have a global responsibility to their neighbours.
We seem to be very quick in offering to go and bomb someone else's country, in England. Well, not me, but our government. Maybe they don't mind what they do to other people, and it's up to us to point out to them.. because the Lib Dems certainly seem to have forgotten.. that nuclear power is dangerous, accidents do happen and countries like Norway have already chosen not to have nuclear power. However, the wind from Sellafield only takes minutes to reach them, if it's blowing in the right direction. We don't have the right to risk giving the Norwegian people cancer. They didn't vote this government in and my guess is that if a lot of people in this country had known how it would turn out.. they wouldn't have either.
