One of things I don't like about politics is the tendency for all of us to use some form of spin in trying to persuade people to change their opinions. Often we don't recognize this but it's there, a fact of life. I'm not a black and white sort of person and I honestly try to avoid it if possible.
But unfortunately there are varying degrees of spin.
For instance another party in their election material have stated that the Greens have neglected calling for a public inquiry over the Ineos Chlor incinerator
The 'truth' is that we've been actively campaigning against the Ineos Chlor and Ince Marshes incinerators and the proposal for an incinerator on the Liverpool side of the Mersey for two years.
We have sent in written objections to both proposals to the government body concerned. In our newsletters we have been publishing information about who people should send their objections to and providing assistance regarding writing these objections.
I have attended most of the Runcorn Ineos Chlor meetings and have spoken at one of them.
I am also speaking at the public inquiry on the Ince Marshes incinerator in May.
As I said there are varying degrees of spin!
