Is nothing sacred? We take the piss out of Bush for his "Fortress America" and his appalling reputation for environmental matters and yet we still have this sort of thing going on over here. A china clay quarry on Dartmoor National Park? What sort of insanity is that? Not only is there the issue of what would happen to Dartmoor, but the precedent it would set is completely intolerable. This isn’t a big country. We really can’t afford to put industry above the environment any more or else all we’ll have left is an industrial and post-industrial environment. I don’t particularly want to live in a country where everything is brown field rather than green field. Gah!
