UK elections

Hi,

The Royal Astronomical Society has put together this basic document www.ras.org.uk/pdfs/onesider.pdf highlighting things that they would like political parties to take note of. It includes light pollution.

Perhaps some of the readers of this forum from Norn Iron might like to pester their local representatives on some of the topics it raises.

Hopefully the responses from politicians will be sane...
"Sinn Fein is commited to reducing light pollution, but only as part of an overall settlement of environmental and astronomical issues. Clearly bad lighting cannot be decommissioned while the British Government wtill insists on issuing the police with instruments of oppression such as `mag lites`." etc.

Are you joking or did they actually say that ?!?

LOL ... I'm pretty sure that last line was Al's overactive imagination ... though it is scarily believable all the same!

yea, :lol:

Joking, but its scary how easy it is to fill in a standard statement from certain parties... For the record I have no knowledge of what Sinn Feins position is on light pollution!
