Former Agriculture minister Jack Cunningham, (Baron Cunningham of Felling)was a former paid industrial policy adviser for many years to Albright and Wilson and had in his constituency their polluting Whitehaven factory, now dismantled. His advice must have been extremely poor given the demise of this company not long after in 2000. Here’s a little bit of info on some funny goings on from the past.
Shamelessly jumping on the bandwagon, I just wanted to share that following his suspension today from the Labour party.
“Bottoms up to Albright and Wilson.”
He did ask one interesting question at least in 1989 about pollution by water companies which shows just how bad Severn Trent water really are.- but not as bad as Albright and Wilson!
Lobbying is all that is corrupt about politics in Britain today and it has been going on for too long- the chemical/pharmaceutical industry being a major player.
Now I’ve got that off my chest to matters concerning the toxic lagoon. The giant Bonaparte removed some boreholes on the North side of the pool from by the embankment and carried off his prize to join the rest of the remaining scrap pile on the Southern side.
Inexorably we are moving to what can only be described as “the bollocks” of the operation- the dredging and disturbance of uncharaterised waste in the smaller lagoon, the purpose of which has not been satisfactorily explained- when it is not going to be capped thereafter.
