Last week, a second legal challenge was issued in an attempt to stop Bradwell wind farm in Essex going ahead.
The windfarm has already been subject to two public inquiries. A spelling mistake in one ruling led to a legal challenge, issued by the local anti-windpower group, and another public inquiry costing the public purse some £100,000.
All a complete waste of time (and public money) of course.
And even more ridiculous when you consider that one of the leading nimbies, a local councillor who has campaigned against the proposed windfarm on the grounds of noise and 'tranquility', actually runs a sand and gravel extraction business near the site of the proposed windfarm site.
Yes - this campaigner for peace and tranqulity is actually the cause of HGVs driving through the local village. And he wants to stop the windfarm!!
This is insane. Just as insane as VVASP's barking notion that they can hold back the tide (or at least prevent the windfarm from appearing until most of them are dead or in care homes) through the exploitation of legal processes.
Such legal processes might be valid if there genuinely was something to fight against. But the sad, sad fact about these vicious, lying nimbies is that they are determined to fight to the death (er - that is, your death) against something that is GOOD and NECESSARY and HARMLESS, and they will waste as much of YOUR money as they can get away with in the process.
There is absolutely no need for any of this. The nimbies' only gripe against windfarms is that they might spoil the view from the end of their driveways.
Forget all the lunatic nonsense they try to spread about the place concerning windfarms - that they don't work, they're 'inefficient', they make no sense economically, they need nuclear power stations to back them up, they slaughter wildlife and scare horses, they cause headaches, sleeplessness, migraines, falling house prices and the end of civilisation as we know it ... because IT'S ALL UNTRUE!!!
But, just to preserve something that does not belong to them (the view, which many areas with windfarms feel is only enhanced by the turbines), they will tell no end of lies, waste no end of time and money (yours), and generally behave like the sick-minded petty dictators they really are.
Yes, all this must stop. It's crippling the country and holding us back. It's a campaign of lies and misinformation led by evil, selfish people. The sort who will sell the future of everybody else for a few seconds of self-satisfaction.
They must be stopped. It's vital to our national and global interests, the economy and the future of all.

WHY NOT BE HONEST?
When the BBC took VVASP to task over the ASA ruling (sorry about all those abbreviations - basically, the Advertising Standards Authority ruled that Vale Villagers Against Scottish Power had been publishing misleading claims about the proposed Lenchwick Windfarm and the BBC wanted to hear what VVASP had to say for themselves) ... sorry, where was I?
Oh, yes - when the BBC challenged VVASP over the nonsense they've been telling people, the spokesperson for Vale Villagers Blah Blah Blah said something like:
"Well, it's easy to dismiss health concerns when it's not your health that's under threat."
Hmmnn. Yes, that's maybe true, if you're the sort of person who doesn't give a stuff about other people.
But it's even easier to dismiss health concerns when THEY'RE ENTIRELY MADE UP.
And here's the problem. The said VVASP spokesperson almost certainly doesn't believe in the health concerns himself because he used to be a scientist and would therefore know that the evidence for these so-called health concerns is wanting.
All the same, he's prepared to try and convince everyone else in the area of these health concerns because he doesn't want to look at a windfarm.
Now, what if he'd told the truth?
What if he'd said, "I don't want a windfarm near me"?
Which is the case. He's said in the past that he wants nothing "industrial" in the area to which he retired, and windfarms - in his book, at least - are "industrial". So he doesn't want one.
It's actually okay not to want a windfarm. No one's obliged to find them as attractive and inspirational as many people do.
Saying that you simply don't want a windfarm nearby is okay - that's your opinion, and you're entitled to it.
But what is WRONG (in huge capital letters) is lying to your neighbours about them and spreading false stories about health concerns and the effects on property prices.
That is unforgiveable. That shows that, simply because "I don't want a windfarm near me" sounds rather lame, the membership of VVASP is quite happy to dream up the craziest possible excuses to justify their unnecessary and misguided opposition to a Good Thing.
Lies like theirs will have to be paid for, one day. Making people believe that they will suffer ill health and financial loss (when there's no proper evidence at all that they will) is evil, pure and simple. The VVASP campaign is not just dishonest - it is evil. And those who have waged this evil campaign of lies and scare stories will one day have to answer for themselves.
It's a shame that they couldn't have been honest in the first place.

IN SUBURBIA
Has anyone seen our esteemed Member of Parliament Peter Luff lately?
You remember Peter - the nookies loved him. They decorated the place with lots more of their nasty little signs whenever he was around. Aeolus thinks that he might have had a bit more to do with their phoney "2km" campaign than he ever let on. And, of course, he stood up in the House of Commons and said, "2 kilometres. Nothing closer. Tory voters. Daily Mail. 2 kilometres. Er - that's it."
But it feels as though Pete's been keeping his head down of late. Could it be that he caught the backlash from the Sensible People for siding with the tin-pot dictators of Nimbia? Perhaps he realised that his campaign was a non-starter inspired by a bunch of hysterics.
Or it could be because most of the nookies are no longer his constituents. Boundary changes mean that Church Lench is now part of Jacqui Smith's Redditch constituency. So, as far as Luff is concerned, they can all bog off - what use are they to him any more?
At the moment, the Tories will say anything to try and get your vote. In power, they'd be faced with reality and any daft "2km" type ideas would quickly be ditched as nonsensical. Jacqui Smith, meanwhile, probably has other things on her mind - like some real problems that need addressing - and it seems unlikely that she'll be bothered by a rather strange bunch jumping up and down in a remote corner of her largely urban seat.
For their part, we can be pretty sure that Big Chief Nookie and his mates really hate the fact that Smith is now their MP and they are considered part of Redditch. They didn't move out to the country just to become part of Redditch for crying out loud!! But, actually, the boundary change makes an awful lot of sense.
If you look closely at the VVASP and its nimby campaign, you'll notice that it is dominated by newcomers to the area.
If you talk to the old guard - the real sons of the soil whose roots go down so deep in the Lenches that they've practically been Grade II listed - you'll find that they're not especially bothered by the prospect of the turbines. Partly because they can't for the life of them see how they could be any harm to anybody. And partly because the newcomers have already made a mess of life in the villages and deserve everything they get.
By moving out into the country with some rather strange preconceptions about what the country is, what it's like and what it does, the nimbies set themselves up for a fall. They thought that the country was picture postcard views and uninterrupted silence. Which it isn't. But they have fought to get their quaint, unrealistic views and abnormal silence, because that's what they foolishly spent their money on - a myth of country life.
What they did, though, was they brought their suburban attitudes out to the country and planted them there. Real country people don't see a problem with a few wind turbines - it's money for the area and they do no harm. Only phoney country people - suburbanites who have transplanted themselves to a country area - have a problem with the turbines because THEY DON'T FIT IN WITH THEIR NARROW-MINDED SUBURBAN IDEAS OF WHAT THE COUNTRY SHOULD LOOK LIKE.
So it's rather appropriate that they should have become part of Redditch, if only for parliamentary purposes. They belong in the suburbs. They certainly shouldn't be screwing up the countryside anymore.

NEWS FROM BLoW
Well, who would have thought it? BLoW (Back Local Windfarms) is a group of people local to the Lenches who, according to their latest press release, were 'horrified by the misleading claims and aggressive attitudes of protesters against the proposed Lenchwick Windfarm.'
So far, so mundane. There are plenty of people who feel nothing but disgust at the way the swivel-eyed nimbies of VVASP have behaved. Fair enough. But BLoW decided to take action. They complained to the Advertising Standards Authority about some of the silly claims being published by VVASP - and they won!
All this is fairly well known in the area. VVASP's literature was branded 'MISLEADING' (just like that, in big capital letters, if you watched 'Midlands Today') by an independent regulator.
VVASP have huffed and puffed and continued to spread their mendacious filth with a misplaced self-righteousness that it truly repellent. Typical nimbies - whether what they say is right or wrong, we are all under orders to believe it in its totality because a bunch of Middle-Class Citizens are saying it.
But while VVASP has been running around the place, headless chicken-like, trying to justify its policy of telling lies, BLoW has gone onto to greater things.
The British Wind Energy Association (BWEA) was hugely impressed by what BLoW had achieved with the ASA ruling. You see, nimby groups like VVASP exist all over the country and they all tell the same lies. A victory against one of these disgraceful gangs is, in a sense, a victory against all such mindless thuggery and dishonest nimbyism.
BWEA were in the process of establishing a new grassroots campaign, 'Embrace My Planet' (go to www.embracemyplanet.com) - a means of empowering local supporters of renewable energy to campaign for wind farms and against nookies. BLoW had set a wonderful example of what intelligent locals can do to the bullies in their neighbourhood.
So BWEA got in touch with BLoW to ask if they could roll out BLoW's ASA complaint model across the country as a whole. If you like, what BLoW did was so brilliant, the BWEA wants all communities in the UK to be able to do the same: to put the nimbies in their place (finally!) and bring an end to the dishonesty of VVASP-type campaigns by following BLoW's example!
As Adam Bell, National Campaign Co-Ordinator at BWEA, said:
'BLoW's efforts in securing the ASA ruling are a great example of how local people can make a difference in securing clean, green and sustainable energy supplies in the UK. This is a tremendous blow against the disinformation campaign being carried out by the well-funded anti-wind lobby.'
A BLoW spokesperson puts it this way:
'Wind turbines are a part of all our futures, and the sooner we can dispense with all this shallow NIMBYism the better for all of us. While the protesters engage in a dishonest and backward- looking debate, BLoW's efforts have placed us right at the forefront of the national drive towards green energy. That's where we believe the Vale should be - at the cutting edge of new technology, not burying our heads in the sand.'
For a recently-formed campaign group, BLoW hasn't done too badly. A fantastic ASA ruling, a killer blow aimed at VVASP, and now a request to advise on a national anti-nimby campaign.
How cool is that? And how petty-minded and so-last-century does VVASP seem in comparison?
If you want to contact BLoW you can email them at: BLoW@backlocalwindfarms.co.uk.

INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS
There have been some astonishingly cretinous statements overheard in the Lenches in recent months. Things like:
"Sound travels outwards, so wind turbines get noisier the further away you are."
"The turbines will blow all the blossom off the trees."
"The planned development will kill the Vale countryside" (probably 'forever')
"I take no notice of building regulations so I don't see why the parish council should stick to the guidelines."
And, most recently -
"All this ASA business was just over one word."
The purveyors of all these dimwitted remarks were once intelligent people, many of them with qualifications. Now one almost feels like launching an appeal on their behalf.
So what happened? What on earth could have caused this mass degeneration of faculties?
Alien spacecraft landed (no they didn't), ate our brains (no they didn't) and reduced our property prices by up to 54% (no they didn't).
They also didn't kill all our wildlife (especially trout and bees), make a sound like a ghost train approaching, always approaching, never arriving, or cast gigantic shadows over unlikely distances.
Those who were infected by these non-existent space creatures weren't always easy to spot. They looked pretty much the same as always. Only two things gave them away. They tended to put up little yellow signs saying "NO to air!" and "Keep me 2 kilometres away from everything!" And when they opened their mouths, out came a sound that could hurt your brain.
But if it wasn't some sort of alien invasion that caused all this horror, what might it have been?
Could it have been VVASP, the protest group that is to informed debate what Hitler was to equal opportunities?
Had they been listening to the self-serving merchants of nimby nonsense?
You bet they had! Fools.

ANGEL OF THE NIMBIES
In the fairly short history of anti-windfarm nonsense in the UK, one person has emerged as the darling of the nimbies. Let's call this person 'JD'.
'JD' now gets paid by nimby groups across the country to come along and wind them up. The reason - when a windfarm was erected not far from the farmhouse where JD and her partner were living, they quickly found that they had to move out of their own home in order to get away from the constant noise, etc., of the turbines.
This sad story is music to the nimbies' ears. That's everything they want to hear: put a windfarm up nearby and you'll be forced to move out of your own home.
But before we create a shrine to JD in the heart of Middle England, there are a few questions that are worth considering:-
1. Why is it that, if JD and her partner were forced to leave their own home, JD's in-laws were perfectly capable of remaining in the same house?
2. How come acoustic engineers and sound recordists spent over three weeks solid at the house and couldn't trace, let alone monitor, record and identify, the so-called constant noise?
3. How could it be that JD and her partner claimed to be hearing the noise of the turbines even when the turbines were not connected to the grid and weren't operational?
4. Why should JD's partner still be hearing the turbine noise when they were five miles away from the windfarm?
Bearing those pertinent questions in mind, we shouldn't be too surprised to discover that no less than five of the thirty-or-so people referred to in Dr Nina Pierpont's meaningless study of 'Wind Turbine Syndrome' are accounted for by JD and her family.
Or, to put it another way, Dr Pierpont spoke to JD over the phone, and JD answered for FOUR MORE PEOPLE - at least two of whom did not leave the farmhouse.
Are we getting a picture of how nimby propaganda works, here? The nookies publicise Pierpont's claims about 'Wind Turbine Syndrome' and trumpet JD's unfortunate experiences. What they don't tell you is that a fair amount of Dr Pierpont's 'research' was just a phone conversation with JD, or that JD's story isn't quite as clear-cut as it seems.
No, as usual they tell you what they want you to know. That someone was forced to leave home because a windfarm.
Perhaps when the four questions raised above have been properly answered, we will be able to decide how much merit this story really has.

HAVE THEY NO SHAME?
No sooner has the ASA ruling been published, forbidding VVASP from spreading ill-informed rumours and dangerous misrepresentations of the evidence regarding windfarms, than the said VVASP publishes its latest newsletter pretending that they know better than the ASA!
Citing their 'experts' repeatedly - these are the very same experts whose work was dismissed by the ASA as either poor quality or somewhat misquoted - VVASP are blustering away that their evidence is good and the ASA were wrong to throw it out.
So, we're down to an argument about how good the evidence is. An independent investigation concluded that the laughable 'evidence' the VVASP were relying on was rubbish. VVASP say it's good. Stalemate, then.
Of course not. Some liars are pretending that the misleading quotes and dodgy, biased 'evidence' they've been telling everyone about was actually real science.
Or, put it another. They've been lying to their neighbours, and now the word is out: THEY WERE LYING ALL ALONG. And boy, are they annoyed. So now they're running around, whining to the very villagers they lied to and claiming that they weren't telling lies - no, absolutely everybody else in the world is!
Well, for a group that pretends to be offering comprehensive information about windfarms to the locals, they certainly are guilty of leaving out an awful lot of information. All the good stuff about wind farms, for example - the recent studies which point out that wind turbines cannot possibly cause the kind of ridiculous symptoms claimed by VVASP, and that house prices are not affected by the proximity of turbines.
Here's the standard of VVASP's science: they reckon that it stands to reason that a house near a turbine would cost less than one further away. That's not science. That's guesswork, based on their own prejudices. A huge study conducted in the United States revealed the very opposite: house prices go up faster near turbines than further away. So, as usual, VVASP wrap a prejudice up in a 'quote', call it a 'fact', and then scream blue murder when you point out that it's nonsense.
They lie. They cover up good quality information. They mislead those poor fools who pause to listen to them. And then they run around citing biased studies and low quality research when an independent organisation points out that they've been misleading people.
Honestly, no shame, these people. No shame at all.
