The Justice and Peace Pilgrimage

The justice and peace pilgrimage is currently ongoing in Scotland just now, before heading to London. Not really a religious pilgrimage but one protesting trident etc. They are protesting the fact that the government are currently planning to spend £100,000,000 on replacing the trident nuclear defence system based on the river Clyde at the Faslane Naval Base, while at the same time continuing to slash budgets for health, education and welfare. This affects some of the poorest and most dis-advantaged people in the country.

Government spokespeople have already confirmed that they would never utilise or have any use for nuclear deterents, that missiles would never be launched or used to shoot down any incoming fire. This is therefore a redundant plan.

The justice and peace pilgrimage began on Iona, at the Abbey and will continue, via the clyde, to Westminster, walking all the way. While the focus is definitely on peace and awarenes of the trident project, they pilgrimage will be visitng places of spiritual and historical significance along the way. They are open to all faiths as well as those of no religious path

Protecting our rights

Our rights should be protected and this means looking out for ourselves and one another for all aspects of life. It came to my attention today that the EU plan to rule on whether we should be 'allowed' to sell and share seeds ourselves, or whether this should be left in the hands of big business, like Monsanto.

Please sing and share the petition below to let them know that you will not comply with this ridiculous ruling. Everyone has the right to grow fruit and vegetables etc for themselves and their families, and to sell them if they so choose. But big businesses like Monsanto want to take power out of our hands and force us into buying GM products. Well i say no and I hope that you will join me!

Petition

On another note, I have written 3 books. 2 are part of a series set in Scoltand about the Sidhe, fairy folk. Available on kindle and in paperback:

The Island of the Mist is book 2

The Stone in the Sword is book 1

The 3rd book is an adult, sexy witchy werewolf/vampire story set in New York and featuring a strong female lead character, again available in kindle and paperback formats:

The Wolf, the Witch and the Coffin

Wind Farms

I'd like to do a quick post on the new ban on wind farms in 'scenic' locations. I have to say I'm disappointed because many people will use this as an excuse to prevent wind farms from being built in their areas - who decides what is 'scenic' and what is not?

And why move them away from cities towns and villages? This is where they are needed and frankly, most towns and cities would not be 'uglified' by a few wind farms in the area! This is not a wise decision.

I do believe that SSSI sites and nature reserves etc should be protected, and I believe they already are - it would not be possible to build wind farms in these locations. So what does 'scenic' mean and can anyone claim that their area is 'scenic' just so that they can stop them being built there?

Wind farms are the future. Along with solar panels and other renewable energy. Oil and gas will one day run out, or be so expensive than no ordinary person could possibly afford them. We need these farms built and the more people object, the more they harm their own future and that of generations to come. Stop being selfish and let it happen. Most farms are placed out of the way anyway.

And please do not comment about how they don't work - that's rubbish. Would the government really spend so very much money on something that was proven not to work - on this kind of scale?

We are a forward thinking nation - lets keep it that way!
