WE MUST surely be grateful to Mr Ray for delivering us his final verdict.

No more do we need to debate, build consensus nor invest in research and understanding.

We can just leave it to Mr Ray to set us right.

Heaven forbid we should fight to protect our communities, when Mr Ray can take our voices from us and tell the people they are having an incinerator because it ‘will be better’ – why do we need to know why it would be better.

Thank you Mr Ray for using your hardcore right wing beliefs to cut through what we all initially thought was a complex political and environmental argument.
