A while back we reported on Solvay’s big band practice. A recent press report appears to confirm that The Langley Band have now completed a move into the former police station fronting Trinity Street and are renting a room from the chemicalsters. Yes that’s about the size of the story, with a cake and self promotion chucked in. How many groups/clubs/societies change venue for one reason or another every day of the week? Jeez.
As for the bum note, this is provided by Solvay site director (they used to be called works managers who lied about chemicals coming out of the factory).
Jean-Francois Berthiaume is quoted “Solvay is proud of its historical links with the community.”
Well that’s really interesting that because they were so enamoured with their “historic links” at Rattlechain that the Belgians chose not to rebrand their logo onto the gates down John’s Lane. THEY REMAIN UNDER THE TARNISHED RHODIA MONIKER.
And lest we forget the immoral conscience of Albright and Wilson the company where so readily its tentacle web of external links polluted minds as well as the environment.
- Let’s remember the “Quaker” war dodger, whose family company benefitted financially from war, and who attempted to use sub standard camouflage from a sister company instead of official material thus putting selfish profit before the community in Langley .
- Let’s remember a soon to be revealed blog post about a former British Intelligence Officer under their long term employment, whose tours of post war Nazi phosphorus factories would benefit the Quakers coffers, as the burns of a blitzed country still lingered.
- Let’s remember a company who dumped their toxic waste and polluted the canal system for miles around their factory.
- Let’s remember a company who poisoned scores of animals and birds
- Let’s remember a company who tested their chemicals on animals.
- Let’s remember a company whose executives cared little about its employees health and lied to them about the risks associated with the manufacture of dangerous chemicals.
- Let’s not forget these links TO THE COMMUNITY when we remember ALBRIGHT AND WILSON.
