Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

If you are passing the station on Saturday between 11 and 1 you will spot the Olympics and Nuclear Trains Demo called because:

with the part closure of the North London Line till June, nuclear waste trains are now using the Barking-Gospel Oak line between Stratford and Gospel Oak and may continue to do so until the Olympics and Paralympics are safely over Hackney Solidarity Network

Organised by the No Nuclear Trains group

I used to live in Stapleton Hall Rd backing onto that line and the neighbours told me that Nuclear waste was carried on it (this is 1997ish). Have we become more Nimby? I blame the internets.
My parents home in Ipswich backs onto a railway line through which the nuclear waste train rumbles a couple of times a week at night. My old bedroom looked out on the station and in the early hours I would be woken by *very* bright lights. Looking across to the station, you could clearly see armed police patrolling the station. Always used to send a bit of a shiver up my spine...
At least they don't still send it (nuclear waste trains) through the london underground system and right through the very centre of the city like they used to. I'm really glad they don't fly it, But how do you move nuclear waste safely ? I guess nuclear waste is not safe at all so there is no possible way of moving it safely, ever. If that's the case what's the point in protesting unless you are against the whole nuclear program ?
Now that Ryanair have abolished check-in luggage why not use their empty holds to ferry nuclear waste to Dublin and Belfast City Airport. We have thousands of nuclear families over there along the border who have built up their immunity since about 1957 and who would be very glad of a bit of reprocessing employment in these recessionary times. This would keep Harringay, Barking and the Olympic Village safe and Harringay Green Lanes litter free tomorrow - as well as saving the Windscale operatives the trouble of flushing their waste via the Irish Sea to Dundalk. It's win-win-win.
OAE. I guess you don't live under the flight path of a possible aircrash carrying nuclear waste. perhaps you'd start glowing like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uRf5nHbCVY&feature=related
Just a modest proposal, James - makes me glow with pleasure.
