Dispatches to the disgraceful secrecy over the incinerator, which is another
case of working class people being dumped on due to lack of organisation or a
feeling that resistance is ultimately useless. I taught in Newhaven for many
years and feel very strongly about this.
Historically,the alternative site was going to be Mountfield. If you know that
area, as I do, it's obvious that it was never going to happen there. LOADS of
new money, incomers, well-educated, retired solicitors and bank managers,
middle-class mums who would die rather than have little Tristram grow up near
an incinerator.
AND GOOD LUCK TO THEM it's just so sad that the working class have to suffer
the consequences.
I was the only person (apart from the organiser) who turned up to a meeting at
the Cowley Club about the incinerator. But maybe resistance is going on
actively somewhere? Or do we have to regard it as a lost cause?
