How do you all feel about more nuclear power stations being built in Britain?
Q. At least four more nuclear power stations are to be built in Britain by a French owned company. I worry about the safety of nuclear power anyway, especially now that we have terrorists within our midsts. To add insult to injury they will not belong to Britain, as they did when power was nationalised; they will be owned by another country.

A. Well...I will answer that with another question. Where in the next 100 years or so do you get your power from. Coal?, Oil?, Gas? They are all finite. I have my concerns. But nuclear is an easy way to generate vast amounts of power the downside being the waste. My concern would be the French building Nuclear power stations in Britain & channeling the power to France if you get my gist. Or using Britain as a test bed for further nuclear expansion in France..

Why does Britain complain about immigration when the British Empire did much worse to countries?
Q. In the past the British Empire exploited resources in other countries and treated people as slaves. Now in Britain they complain about immigration, how the heck do they have any right when they immigrated our countries in the first place for over 200 years. Britain is extremely selfish. It works both ways you know??
Asked by Jrem - Sun May 24 06:52:09 2009 - - 22 Answers - 0 Comments

A. No, we're not. While the last proper remnant of the empire went in 1997 with Hong Kong, we haven't been an active colonial power since much longer. I wasn't alive during the Scramble for Africa or the rule of India, so why should I grow up in a society swarmed with unsustainable immigration? As a sort of pennance? Pennance for what? Unsustainable immigration IS a problem and it WILL continue to destroy Britain. Whatever our past (although I think the empire was justified, I'm willing to say it wasn't for the sake of this question) we have a right to seek to avoid our country slipping further into decline.
