Annual Vigil.

I will be holding my 24 th. annual Chernobyl Vigil in George Square,in Glasgow city centre on Monday 26 April 2010 from 08:00hrs. until 20:00 hrs. If anyone would like to come along on the day to say hello that would be great.

For the last 23 years I have held a Vigil to remind people of the terrible events that began during the night of 26 April 1986. Thousands of people living and working in villages and towns in the area's around the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station suddenly had their lives turned upside down. The seemingly benign Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station became a malignant beast. Today its deadly legacy lives on, there are International Scientific teams operating in this real life radioactive laboratory they take samples, write up extensive reports, hold conferences no doubt carrying on a lot of good work.
The relatives of the people who have died,become ill,been evacuated from their homes, the self settlers who live inside the Exclusion Zone the thousands of children affected and their parents are not interested in scientific reports. I have held my Vigil's to remind people in this country of the suffering that Chernobyl has caused in the past, continues to cause at the present time,and will continue to cause in the future.
