Rejoice! For we are at the dawn of a "golden age of nuclear", according to the UK Government. There's just one wrinkle, says Ben Pile. It's reactors for shiny data centres, but unreliable renewables for the rest of us.

Revealed: Bono applied to join Fine Gael

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Monday July 04, 2005 16:52author by Phoenix Report this post to the editors

Exclusive!

Bono (aka Paul Hewson) applied through Garrett Fitzgerald to join Fine Gael while Fitizgerald was leader of the party. He was advised by Fitzgerald to 'think hard' about this move.

Fine Gael was cold to the move because Bono was deemed 'too controversial' and it was felt he would be a loose cannon who could damage the party. In the end, Bono abandoned the idea.

This is the first time that this has been revealed.

For those on the Left, this should be telling with regard to Bono's political inclinations. He ain't no socialist.
