Helen Caldicott makes a monkey of Monbiot

Helen pokes George in the eye and slaps him round the face with a radioactive kipper or two.

On the day that NISA the Japenese nuclear safety agency finally admitted that the Fukushima disaster had finally gone off the scale (7 out of 7 on a scale which is likely to be reinvented after this apocalyptic disaster) with reports of radiation outside of the exclusion zone 4 times worse than Chernobyl.

Helen Caldicott managed to out a few truths in the Guardian and shoot down George Monbiot who had recently been doing his impression of a newly employed agent of the EDF Nuclear Death Squad.

She rightly highlighted a few details that I have made mention to myself, namely the true figures of Chernobyl being approx 1 million and also that the WHO and IAEA (members of the Swiss club) are namely in bed together over the release of crucial data.

Thank you Helen, a bit of MSM truth will go along way in this war. We've been trying for a while on here now and wont give up until we chase EDF out of the UK.

Helen will be giving a talk this Thursday 14th 18.45 @ Easton Community Center, Kilburn St, Bristol. BS5 6AW

No she didn't

Caldicott did not make a monkey of Monbiot ... if anything, she underscored the points he made previously regarding the lack of substantive and independently reviewed scientific literature upon which bases her claims. Specifically, the Academy of Sciences did +not+ endorse the review from Eastern Europe that she bases so much of her work on, which leaves a very big hole in the centre of her argument.

This is too bad, because it undermines her credibility, even though she (once?) attained near sainthood with the anti-nuke movement, and I for one am really disappointed that she didn't demolish Monbiot's argument step-by-step because it gives the pro-nuke brigade more ammunition, along with Lovelock's endorsement of nukes as the lesser of two evils.

Very Doubtful
