I was appalled today (Thursday 20th of November) to see (and hear) that the MOD range at Shoeburyness run by Qinetic was as usual detonating munitions, while a group of Pilot whales - creatures that are extremely sensitive and known to be beached because of unusual sound vibrations were being herded away from the shallow waters surrounding the area in the Blackwater Estuary, which borders Lee-Over-Sands.
Unsurprisingly while news helicopters were circling yesterday I noticed no such explosions happened - Coincidence? Or Qinetic hiding its activity from the mainstream media I wonder?
Aside from the environmental issues - I think questions need to be asked, and once again, we need to ask ministers why this still goes on in such a highly populated area near London in the 21st Century.
