 Janine Allis-Smith at the launch of the Nuclear Free Flotilla Janine Allis-Smith, active with the CORE Campaign, Cumbria, displays a newspaper reporting the death of Ronald Marr, who hanged himself aged 19 after battling luekemia since the age of 5. Janine told us that Ronald had been the last survivor of a group of children that she took on a day out to London some years ago, the rest have all died. Ronald lived in a highly contaminated area.

Jump To Comment: 1I was talking to Janine Allis -Smith in her office when she tried to convince the harbourmaster at Whitehaven/Workington to allow the Rainbow warrior to dock at a port north of Sellafield (the day after the MOX arrived at Barrow -which is south of Sellafield).
The plan was to have the boat open to the public, with no protest about the nculear industry, purely to pay respects to the late Ronald, have the familes of the chilredn come on board, and also to raise funds for the local childrens hospital.
The harbourmaster refused permission for the boat to land.
when people call us scaremongers, we don't have to look too far to point out the real individuals who have suffered in Cumbria. local support for Sellafield is nowhere near what some would have you believe.
