    Radioactive discharge spews forth from wastepipe
    It poisons land and sea
    It poisons you and me

    NO FILTHY NUCLEAR POWER

    This filthy stinking waste
    They try to tell us it’s safe
    Try telling that to those dying slowly of leukaemia

    And while officials lie
    Diseased young children cry
    Their changce for full and healthy life has been denied

    Our planet’s slowly dying
    The earth is being abused
    Yet cheaper and safer alternatives lie unused

    Scottish punks called it all the way back in 1985

    And English punks got there even earlier, in 1981

    build your nuclear power stations
    in your money making haste
    but what will you do
    with all that nuclear waste
    bury it in the land or
    dump it in the sea
    you’re not bothered about the future
    because you won’t be there to see
    you’ll be dead inside twenty years
    you won’t be there to see the tears
    you won’t be there to see the pain
    the people you’ve distorted, murdered and maimed
    nuclear power, no room for you
    nuclear power, we don’t want you
    a nuclear future is no future - understand
    it will get to the people and
    contanimate the land
    five billion to one they said in 1976
    so they went ahead and developed ther nuclear risk
    if their bomb don’t get us, their radiation will
    because nuclear waste is inevitable
    nuclear power, is too much risk
    nuclear power, will give you cancer, make you sick
    a nuclear future is no future - understand
    it will get to the people and contaminate the land
    nuclear power no room for you
    nuclear power we don’t want you
    a nuclear future, is no future - understand
    it will get to the people and contaminate the land
    nuclear power - no thanks

    Bonus track! This one’s a belter:

    Safety rules - corners cut
    Just to keep the profits up
    Money saved - profits rise
    But consequence is someone dies

    Victim of a chemical spillage

    Safety regulations breached
    Critical concentrations reached
    Money is saved but a live is lost
    Loved ones left to count the cost

    Tanker crashing the village
    Death could from the spillage
    No escape from the fumes
    Peoples’ homes become their tombs

    In the face of corporate greed
    Ecodefence is what we need
    Read and act upon this text
    Or you become the next victim of a chemical spillage

    Never forget that one thing that motivates big business is profit. As far as the multinationals are concerned, there is nothing that they will not destroy in their insane drive for increased takings: forests, meadows, rivers, the sea - even their own employees are all seen as expendable. This kind of omnicidal madness is killing our Earth and can only be stopped by mass direct action. Anyone who advocates this of course is branded as an extremist - Yet what could be more extreme than the mass poisoning and polluting of our planet, the destruction of huge areas of rainforest and the wholesale slaughter to extinction of vast numbers of species of animals? It’s time to stand up and be counted - If you’re not part of the solution. You’re part of problem.

    No compromise on defence of our Earth

      If only I had more than one upvote to give you. Music has to play more of a part in protest. I’m at Bloodstock this weekend and nary a political song to be heard. Breed 77 covering ‘Zombie’ last night about the closest so far

      This is true, but these things tend to have a habbit of coming back decades later. Caithness beaches are regularly combed with a geiger counter. And Dalgety bay is allegedly clean. Gruinard another stain on HMG. This is another middle finger to the voters of Scotland that have voted them gone since they arrived

    This is a non-story, it happened years ago and there was never any threat to human or environmental health
