Judi Dench And Protestors Lose Initial Fight Against UK Eco Village

Last April, we reported that UK actress Judi Dench was joining a growing movement against a proposed eco-village near the birthplace of William Shakespeare. The location would be about six miles from Stratford upon-Avon in the heart of the English countryside. At the time, Dench had said she wasn’t against eco-villages in general — just the development of one within close proximity to a national treasure.
Unfortunately for that group, a judge has ruled that the government has done nothing wrong and planning can continue. From the article,
Speaking after the ruling, David Bliss, chairman of the Bard campaign, vowed to keep on fighting. “Poorly-sited eco-towns will lead to soulless commuter-based dormitory towns becoming expensive white elephants of the future. We do not intend to stand by and watch this happen,” he said.
But Margaret Beckett, the housing minister who will make a final decision on the sites to be developed later this year, welcomed the court’s ruling. She described eco-towns as “a unique opportunity to deliver much-needed affordable housing, built in a way which, by incorporating the very latest energy-saving techniques, benefits both residents and the wider community”.
Ready for the next round, Dench?

Birthplace of William Shakespeare? You mean people actually still beleive that this is anything more than a tourist trap? William Shakespeare was an actor hired by Francis Bacon to front his arcane plays.
For anyone who isn’t convinced yet, read the studies made on all the original printings of Shakespeare’s sonnets. He wrote them so the name Francis Bacon is hidden by drawing straight lines between characters on the page. Some sonnets have as many as 20 Francis Bacon scrawled inside them!
Bacon even had painters hide his name encoded in paintings, hiding his secret from the court, but making sure posterity would discover his true identity.
Sadly, the crown started making so much money from the Shakespeare Bacon created, they never stopped after his death, even though they came to know the truth. The lie persists, just like the Vatican still selling Jesus who the Dead Sea Scrolls revealed to be nothing more than a construct of morality lessons.
This isn’t about an Eco-Village… This is about fleecing tourists, as if Disney sold tickets to Mickey’s birth place, telling people Mickey was a real mouse!
This doesn’t in any reduce the brilliance of Shakespeare’s work. I just prefer now to attribute it to its rightful owner, and not his nom de plume.
