  SELLAFIELD: ADVANCED STATE OF DENIAL

 http://www.midnight-fire.net/theweeklyreport/archives.html

  - Everything is dangerous, one of many citizens living close to the
nuclear and dangerous nuclear plant of Sellafield tells an international
reporter.- Crossing the street is dangerous, but we keep doing it anyway
every day and even several times each day.
  This is one of the many explanations the locals are using to elaborate
on the relative calm in Sellafield. The beaches are dangerously
radioactive. The fields, the water, the humans and animals are all
showing high levels of radiation and the number of cancer cases are far
higher than other places, but the exterior calm remains. In an area
where living birds are classified (by the British authorities) as
�flying nuclear waste� that people are warned not to approach, no one is
running off. Or rather: Those who have not run off already aren�t.
  - There wouldn�t have been jobs here without the plant, one is saying
defensibly.- This is white trash area, man. No one cares about us,
whether we live or die�
  And after a prolonged silence he�s finishing his sentence:
  - Not even we do.
