So, Peter Nutting and the local Tories think that an incinerator is fine in Telford, but not in Shrewsbury. Mr Nutting is no doubt aware of how unpopular the burner is in Shrewsbury. Is he not aware that most people in Telford don't want it, either ( http://www.shropshirestar.com/2008/12/03/mps-survey-reveals-79-against-burner/ )? This makes a mockery of Tory policy-making. After all, the Tories voted FOR incineration in the European Parliament, as part of the EU-wide Waste Framework Directive. (Please check this; the vote happened on Tuesday 13th February 2007) Conservative MEP (Member of European Parliament) Caroline Jackson spoke out FOR incineration, while at the same time advising waste company, Shanks. This embarrassing contradiction and confusion is what 'Think Green Vote Blue' means in practice. Surplus?
