Richard Howson, fresh from the scandal of Carillion’s disastrous failure, now to head inspections at Hinkley nuclear
Disgraced Carillion chief now director of firm in charge of inspections at Hinkley Point C nuclear power station https://tompride.wordpress.com/2018/01/15/disgraced-carillion-chief-now-director-of-firm-in-charge-of-inspections-at-hinkley-point-c-nuclear-power-station/15 Jan 2018 in cynicism Carillion – the firm handed millions in contracts by the Tories – has just gone into liquidation leaving thousands of employees and small businesses facing bankruptcy and redundancy.
In July last year, the man responsible for the debacle – incompetent former Group Chief Executive of Carillion Richard Howson – stood down and seemingly disappeared on the same day the company’s disastrous finances were revealed.
But only after paying himself £1.5 million in pay and tens of thousands in bonuses and perks and leaving the firm with a massive £800 million pension deficit and debts of £1.4 billion of course:
So where is Howson now?
Locked up in a monastery somewhere, contemplating his failures and atoning for his sins?
Surprise surprise.
Here he is, hidden away as a new director of engineering and technical services company Wood Group: Wood Group has just won a lucrative contract to carry out inspections at the UK government’s new Hinkley Point C nuclear power plant: Plus ça change …
Nothing changes in Tory Britain.

The global nuclear industry is revving up, encouraged by the election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, who are now backers of (and perhaps backed by) the nuclear industry.
The pandemic and global heating are still top problems for the world. Most media cover these dangers. The one that they mainly leave out, is the nuclear threat – or worse, they mindlessly regurgitate handouts from companies like NuScale – enthusiastic promotion of small nuclear reactors.
For this reason – this website will now focus more directly on its original purpose – spreading information that exposes the corrupt and toxic worldwide nuclear industry.
(However, on this sidebar, we’ll still put in some alerts from climate science experts)
