I've started so I'll finish.

"the one true resolve of the flame and the bullet is a pile of flesh like an unmanned puppet;
a set of bones gone suddenly still.
and in a lab under every flag right now,
someone's splitting atoms,
and inventing new breakfast cereals in the shape of their nation's borders and drawing brand new maps, discreetly expanding their nation's borders.

it's root root root for the home team.
shout like your dad at the tv screen.
tie a dollar bill around a circus flea,
the fee to flee what you can't see.
(yo, i agree with glee with me).

somebody told me when the bomb hits everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated,
but if you lay face down on the ground for some time,
avoiding the residual ripples of heat,
you might survive,
permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted.
oh but if you do go gas,
there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body.
big-kid-tested, motherfucker approved. "

-Hymie's Basement - 21st Century Pop Song

Hi.
I'm Joel.
This is a blog I've decided to create.
That song does a very good job of summing up the indignation that bubbles through my stomach whenever I think of the fantastical flirtations with disaster being perpetrated in the name of 'science' all over the world right now.

I'm not going to spend ages dryly discussing the physics behind nuclear technology.
I wouldnt want to bore you.

I am however going to try do my best to keep an up to date overview of developments within the worlds of nuclear power and weapons, offering my opinions as a young (well... 19) person who will have to inherit these fucking atrocious legacies.

It seems that now is a very good time indeed to start caring about nuclear weapons and power- both are being renewed without democratic consultation by a government which colludes callously with the nuclear lobby- a strange, huge, dangerous entity which for so long seemed dormant.

I feel it's important to show that there are a new generation of anti-nuclear campaigners forming right now, determined not to repeat the mistakes of the past and to build on the achievements of people like CND, The Druridge Bay Campaign and Trident Ploughshares.

BUT ANYWHO, It won't all be that serious. Honest.
There's hillarity lurking in the depths of nuclear politics- in the dodgy deals and hillarious direct actions, in the Sellafield seaguls with radioactive shit and the weird 'environmentalists' who want to bury plutonium in their gardens.
Plus, I'll try get some friends in to write things too... whilst throwing music in every so often too,
Speaking of which-

Here's a exuberant 'slice' of brass band crunk from a sweet free mix I got off http://www.modiba.net/ which sounds like Zach De La Rocha (but better) literally spitting with rage over some antibalas...

I wish my school brass band had sounded like this... rather than an the Wizard of Oz tinman with flatulence and asthma.

(I promise to never use that phrase, or the word funky ever again- thought I should get them out of the way early... but realised there is no HTML which translates irony... i?!)
