Foreign Nucelar Interests Give Money to Republicans


NUCLEAR firm BNFL has given more than $1million of taxpayers' cash to President George Bush's Republican party and US lobbyists.

The state-owned company used the money - about £660,000 - to push its nuclear agenda in the US.

BNFL, which manages fuel and waste and runs Britain's oldest nuclear reactors, announced record annual losses of £3.6billion up to March. And last month it had to be bailed out by a £500million Government handout.


Umm..is that legal?
