There is nowhere like it on Earth. Hidden away on the shore of West Cumbria sits the most concentrated collection of radioactive wastes anywhere on the planet.

It works.” And, he added, “if it doesn’t work, they deserve it anyway for what they do to us.” Had Dick Cheney returned from the near dead, reborn as a know-nothing carnival barker …
“Much of the explanation for the assault on the Kurds is to be found in Turkey’s failed policy in Syria.” Picture shows Kurds clashing with the Turkish police as they protest against the curfew imposed in Kurdish towns, in Diyarbakir.
