Rugby Town Vs Cemex and the Cement works

Here is a short introductory video blog by Lilian Pallikaropolis of Rugby In Plume. For seven years she has fought the local council, environment agency and cement works (now run by Cemex) in the hope of bringing better air quality to her home town of Rugby.

Do you know how many jobs..? Not many at all.

[danielkindon]

there are hundreds of people that work there including two of my familly there isnt enought jobs in rugby at the moment so if the rugby plant did close down then these stupid enviroment people will send the town down the shitter even more than it already is

There are loads of jobs in Rugby.. Probably not so many that enable you to contribute to the tons of toxins introduced to the people of Rugby every year but certainly enough where you are able to sleep at night with a clear conscience.

@FromTheFrontline. Some people dont half talk some shite . all facts and figures are twisted to suit the protesters, dont lke it move, Simples. As for the polish workers in Rugby ,if the goverment didnt keep giving out benefits to every lazy twat, and make them work ,they wouldnt be here would they. Some people have piss all to do except whinge.

You could have a plant burning orphans so long as it gives some loser a job and cash to buy a spoiler for his escort..

[RHYSKATIE1]

my god you havent got much else to do have you. these plants have to go somewhere and where ever they go, some, guardian reading, moaning %^*$ has to complain about it. move somewhere else, and no doubt find something else to complain about.

I have seen black shit being pumped out into the atmosphere. i was on a business trip from London, sorry but I don't think I will visit again.

They seriously dont give a crap about us. It's all about money, who cares if a few townspeople suffer just so long as they can fill their wallets...?
