In People of the Lie, M. Scott Peck wrote a compelling argument that narcissistic people, who lack the capacity to empathize and are pathologically self-centered, are evil. What could be more narcissistic than a species of beings that believes that the planet on which they reside and the fellow creatures with whom they share that planet exist for them to use and abuse as they see fit?Candle lit vigil for Oxford Six

Contact them and ask the to stop helping E-On!
Contact Scott Wilson - Stop Kingsnorth!

E-on are paying Scott Wilson to help push their plans for kingsnorth and to try and make E-on look a better company. To build something like a new powerstation a company has to carry out lots of research and it would appear that they have been using scott wilson to do this. If they can't carry out all the assesments they can't build Kingsnorth.There is no way that scott wilson have the intrest of the enviroment or locals at heart, all they care about is the money they are being paid by kingsnorth.
Contact them and ask them to stop helping towards the planning and construction of Kingsnorth!
