A simple postcard, but no ordinary postcard. It is part of a campaign to send a HUGE batch of cards to Tony Blair, Prince Charles and Norman Askew (head of BNFL) about closing Sellafield. All I have to do is sign it and post it. "An Post" (the Irish post office) will keep them all until 19th April and then deliver them ALL in one go! Superb!
It reads thus
Tony,
Look me in the eye and tell me I'm safe if there's a major incident in Sellafield.
Radiation does not respect borders. Depending on which way the wind blows large areas of my country would be made uninhabitable. Forever.
As it stands, BFNL dump millions of litres of radioactive waste into the Irish Sea everyday.
This is the sixteenth anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster. The world can't afford another, and neither can you. Don't be blind to the danger, Tony. The risks are too great.
Please shut down Sellafield. For all of us.
Signed
Citizen Of Ireland.
DELIVERED ON BEHALF OF THE IRISH PEOPLE BY AN POST.
All profits from the sle of this card go to the "Chernobyl Children's Project"
**************
The front of the card has a picture of an eye with the message:
Look me in the eye and tell me I'm safe.
All I have to do is sign it and post it. I can (and will) go and buy the other two (for Askew & Charlie) tomorrow.
I don't fancy being Blair's postie on the day these lot arrive.
