Niall: taking the wind out of EdF's sails?

Fellow press officers Graham and James have already written about how they spend their days. I spend mine in a similar way. So now I've got to pad this piece out for another hundred words or so.

Which is pretty much the opposite of what I normally do.

Many of the campaigners here hold a wealth of knowledge and expertise in their tip-top brains. I then take their carefully considered words, which are based on scientific evidence, honed by years of expertise, and butcher it into a couple of sentences that a fourteen-year-old should understand. So, rather than padding out, I, erm, pad in.

But some people might already know that. Not because they've got a fine feeling for the life of a press officer, thanks to James and Graham. But because they're spying on us.

The government would have you believe that all is well in the world of nuclear power. That the path to building more of them in the UK is smooth and care-free.

It isn't. We know this because we're keeping a keen eye on the whole process. A very keen eye. And Greenpeace investigations have exposed that the path is not as smooth as the government will have you believe.

Legal advice from top lawyers says that the government's nuclear plans are open to a number of challenges, on a number of fronts, over a number of years.
