THANKS a lot, Prime Minister Starmer, living in your isolated technocratic illusions that will cost the earth and humanity.

Now, not only are our civil rights to protest or to be heard at a local democratic government level to be taken away, but we are to have Small Modular Reactors, in reality nuclear fission units, plonked all around our neighbourhoods.

What blind ignorant decision-making in rarified back-door speculations, without any sign of democracy or personal insight. Enemies wanting to wage terrorism and war will have a field day, even with horrendous and costly security measures.
