Trident on trial: Judge defends nuclear proliferators Rolls Royce

dv | 22.10.2008 13:52 | Anti-militarism | Other Press

Preliminary report on trial of anti-Trident protesters charged with blockading Rolls Royce's Raynesway factory in Derby. Rolls Royce make the nuclear propulsions systems and fuel rods for nuclear submarines, including the Trident nuclear missile-armed Vanguard class based at Faslane in Scotland.


Judge dismisses idea that R-R work at factory was 'unlawful'

Wednesday, October 22, 2008, 07:30

PROTESTERS appearing in court charged with trespassing on Rolls-Royce property have had one of their main arguments quashed by a judge.

The campaigners blockaded entrances to the Raynesway factory in Derby, on April 28, because they believed the company was breaking international law by producing nuclear submarine parts.

Anti-Trident campaigners will be out in force on Monday 27 October at the Big Blockade of the Atomic Weapons Establishment at Aldermaston near Reading, organised by Trident Ploughshares and supported by CND, Block the Builders and the Aldermaston Women's Peace Camp. Accommodation, vegan food, transport, training, briefings and legal support provided. Arrest is optional.

Of course, Trident Ploughshares is composed of nothing but violent, bloodthirsty, depraved child molestors, threateners of pensioners (especially the members who are pensioners themselves - they're the ones you would least suspect) and supergrasses. A venomous cult indeed. Got to go, time for my medication now.

How about high leukemia rate nr Raynesway&whistleblowing on safety there 2004?

How about high leukemia rate nr Raynesway&whistleblowing on safety there 2004?

Raynesway doesnt just make parts for nuclear weapons they supply the radioactive material for bullets used in aircraft which have been showering Iraq for 18 years as well as testing grounds in Scotland & wales.
Letters to Derby Telegraph+Epost& judge on this would help.
This judge from what your saying is acting against the health & justice of the people of Derby & the UK.

Safety fears of secret nuclear fuel plant at Rolls Royce factory

Serious safety concerns were raised recently by regulators about "command and control" procedures at a Rolls Royce plant in Derby which secretly manufactures enriched-uranium fuel for nuclear submarines.

(520.5104) WISE Amsterdam - Until the recently leaked reports were published in October 17 issue of the The Sunday Times, Rolls Royce said its Raynesway plant, in Derby (central England), just made propulsion systems for nuclear submarines. It has not admitted the uranium fuel work it does for the Ministry of Defense nor has the local population been told because the work is classified. Rolls Royce also operates the HMS Vulcan facility adjacent to Dounreay (Scotland) which is a submarine reactor test facility.

The Nuclear Installations Inspectorate (NII, the government body overseeing the civil nuclear industry) strongly criticized safety at the plant and warned that emergency procedures were inadequate. After the accident in Japan, which involved similar fuel, workers at the plant contacted the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) and voiced concerns about the offsite emergency plants and the lack of containment in the event of a serious accident at the fuel plant. Leaked company documents reveal that there is a risk of criticality, an uncontrolled chain reaction which took place at Tokai-mura on Septemer 30.

The company said procedures had been changed since the regulator's report and there had been three practice exercises. A full emergency exercise had also been held recently. The regulators said various issues had been raised after an exercise in March and everything was "entirely in order" following the latest exercise.

CND called for the closure of the plant (which was commissioned in 1994-5), stating that the uranium used at Derby was 93% enriched compared to 20 percent (18.8 to be precise) enrichment of the fuel in the Tokai-mura accident. Defense minister Geoff Hoon rejected these calls, saying all concerns had been addressed by the company and that the plant was "entirely safe".

Local residents regularly see lorries entering the site under armed escort but have been unaware of the processing of bomb- grade uranium. The plant, which employs 1,900 people, has not lodged a public emergency plan with the county council and residents have not been given information about what actions to take in the event of a nuclear accident.

This is the second of three scandals in the UK regarding the (civil and military) nuclear industry in just over two months. First was the falsification of safety checks of MOX fuel elements and a week after this one, The Observer published an internal memo on safety flaws at Aldermaston (see related artcicle).

Child abuse needs to be uncovered & dealt with, if these allegations are

24.10.2008 05:33

child abuse,damaging violence or sexual abuse I hope they are dealt with& as someone abused as child myself I aim to look into this. Child abusers, murderers need to be locked up, this is no tit for tat matter. Danny if you have any evidence call the police, gather evidence. If you have evidence & havent contacted social services or the police do so before talking any further, otherwise you could make the situation alot worse. These matters are complicated with many real & made up cases, lets not trivialise it by accusing whole groups wether priests, TPers,police of connivance in child abuse.
Personally in my direct experience of being a pupil at schools where there were large paedophile rings uncovered & broken as well as studies of child abuse things like the abuse & murder recently in Guernsey of children was far more prevalent in Dickensian times when fagging & violence against children was systematic. Systematic fagging & corporal punishment was only stopped in the UK in 1986 when it was outlawed although it was not until 1998 that corporal punishment was outlawed for the few remaining independent schools that retained the practice. Its therefore not suprising that child abuse is still prevelant, any cases should be recorded & taken seriously.

Achilles Heal

The sickest thing about Danny Prior, is that he a deluded drunk and malicous liar who has threatened activists with murder, rape and beatings and threatened to sell lies to teh News of the World about a certain group, and pass on lies to the DWP about people on benefits.

And to round of the hypocrisy he has been witnessed advocating "violent direct action" many times.

He a psycho and he's scum. If he comes near your organisation steer well clear!

It is the leaving disinfo posts like his here that severely undermine the credibility of Indymedia.
