The Downgrading RAF Welford Security
The recent gossip around the security status of RAF Welford (see the various Newbury Weekly News stories as they have been following it) has only re-enforced my views that these American bases must be moved out of the UK. Our American occupation only seems to increase the threat to our country and force us to spend more time, money and resources on the military, intelligence and police forces - something that has turned us into one of the most monitored, censored, and controlled societies in the world. Don't get me wrong here, I don't doubt that we need all three, but all seem to be bloated by the American problem extending well past our original and realistic need, and well beyond the actual needs of our society.

Health Risk from breaking Low Energy light bulbs
"The Environment Agency has called for more information to be made available on the health and environmental risks posed by low-energy light bulbs."
BBC News reports on the mercury in Low Energy light bulbs.
Environment Agency Web Site
Is this really a concern though? I just wonder how many nasty chemicals go into the production of standard light bulbs as well.
