Imported Prisoners and Toxic Waste UK investments in Wales.

After the  Howard League for Prison Reform, said Wales was becoming like Botany Bay in Australia where British convicts were shipped in the 18th and 19th Century.(I have already made the connection mind) and Wales will be in danger of being seen as a penal colony for England if a new super-prison,

Plans to dredge 300,000 tonnes of mud from near a disused nuclear plant and dump it off Cardiff Bay have been criticised.

A marine pollution expert claims the mud from near Hinkley Point in Somerset could expose people to radioactivity.

EDF Energy, the company behind the plans, said the work was not harmful to humans or the environment.

The Welsh Government said all applications were considered in line with legal requirements.

Dredging is proposed in Bridgwater Bay near the decommissioned Hinkley Point A and B as part of construction work for the new £19.6bn Hinkley Point C nuclear power station.

Welsh ministers granted permission in 2013 for developers to dispose of the sediment at a site know as Cardiff Grounds, previously used to deposit waste from Cardiff and Newport docks.

But independent marine pollution consultant Tim Deere-Jones, who specialises in marine radioactivity, claimed sampling of the mud to check for potentially harmful contaminants had been "inadequate".

He told BBC Wales low level waste from the nuclear plant had entered the site for more than 50 years and there was a lack of knowledge about the potential harm of moving the mud.

"Rather than being relatively stable at the Hinkley site it is being churned up and brought over here to be dumped," he said.
"Radioactive and non-radioactive pollutants will inevitably enter inshore waters and coastal environments.
"Several studies have shown that wastes dumped into the sea transfer to the land in sea spray and episodes of coastal flooding.
"As a result Welsh coastal populations could be exposed to doses of marine radioactivity."

Environment Secretary Lesley Griffiths said she was unable to comment on a process that had been carried out "some time ago", but added: 

"All marine applications are considered in line with legal requirements.
"I understand a valid marine licence is in place and there are conditions that need to be complied with by the licence holder before any disposal can take place."

Its your bloody Job  to protect the Welsh Environment Ms Griffiths, not to come up with excuses . If there was a screw up "some time ago then do something about it.

Prisons we don't need or want , other peoples Toxic waste. Is that the sought of message the Welsh Government want to send out to potential investors to Wales?

Is this what Labour mean by "Standing up for Wales" more like lying down and letting people throw body waste at you?

PS we are faced with even more crap coming over the border as Wales online announces.

Katie Hopkins is booked to do talks in Welsh schools.
