David Mundell

David Mundell is the pro-nuclear Conservative Party MP for Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale, whose constituency includes the Chapelcross nuclear plant.
The only Conservative MP in Scotland, he was appointed the secretary of state for Scotland after the May 2015 general election. ITV News David Mundell named as Secretary of State for Scotland, 11 May 2015, accessed 11 May 2015.
==Pro-nuclear supporter==
Mundell is a long-standing advocate for a new nuclear power station at Chapelcross to replace the one currently being decommissioned. In November 2004, whilst still an MSP, Mundell secured a "members' business debate" in the Scottish Parliament on Chapelcross, to which Chapelcross's shop steward, John Rogerson from the TGWU attended. Rogerson highlighted the help of Mundell and Scottish MSP Elaine Murray in assisting the Chapelcross campaign.
According to Rogerson during the debate, Mundell said he "welcomed" the campaign by the nUKlear21 workers' group "because I believe that it can make the idea of a new nuclear power station in Chapelcross a reality." nUKlear21 workers' group website
 
Just over a year later, having become an MP in London, Mundell "welcomed Chapelcross nuclear campaigner John Rogerson" to Westminster to lobby MPs over nuclear. Said Mundell: "I hope that as this review gets under way Scottish Labour have not ruled anything out when it comes to its energy policy. I also hope they will conclude that a new generation of nuclear power stations is the best way to ensure Scotland has an energy supply fit for the 21st century." David Mundell's website
When the energy review was officially launched at the end of January, Mundell "welcomed" the review "as another opportunity to make the case for a new nuclear power station at Chapelcross."Ibid.
In March 2006, Mundell again welcomed Rogerson and the Nuclear Workers Campaign to Parliament for a rally and to lobby MPs. "I'm very much looking forward to welcoming the Nuclear Workers" Campaign to Parliament as it is extremely important that the Government realises just how much demand there is for a new generation of nuclear power stations in Scotland and across the UK and particularly locally for a Chapelcross 2".
"The area benefited enormously from having the Chapelcross plant for more than 50 years, which at the end of its life was bringing in £20m to the local economy and employing hundreds of people". Dumfries and Galloway news

David Petraeus

General David Howell Petraeus is the former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Petraeus previously served as Commander of U.S. Central Command, and as Commanding General, Multi-National Force-Iraq (MNF-I) from January 2007 to September 2008. As Commander of MNF-I, Petraeus oversaw the coalition forces in Iraq.
Solomon Hughes writes of Petraeus in the Morning Star:
:Petraeus wrote the new "counter-insurgency" manual for the US army, a guide that puts a heavy emphasis on propaganda. Petraeus says that the army must "remember the global audience," because "the decisive battle is for the people's minds." For Petraeus "every action, including uses of force, must be wrapped in a bodyguard of information."
:Petraeus believes that the US was only defeated in Vietnam because the US population lost its will to fight. He thinks that US troops did well in the Vietnamese battlefields, but that the war was lost in the minds of US voters. So, shaping the perceptions of the "global audience," including the US population, is as important as winning the hearts and minds of Iraqis.Solomon Hughes Feature - The Petraeus doctrine; Solomon Hughes looks at how Washington's man in Iraq hopes to mould our minds, Morning Star, August 24, 2007

David Pitt-Watson

Tim Pendry writes:
:I once knew Pitt-Watson (henceforth in this posting DP-W) well but not in recent years. We both held high office in the Labour Finance & Industry Group and, coincidentally, worked together on the Russian Mass Privatisation Programme in 1992 (an experience that has prejudiced me ever since in favour of Vladimir Putin's war on the thieving oligarchs)... He is very much an 'insider'. He was Assistant General Secretary in the mid-1990s, taking a fair hit to his salary, and, earlier, he made an unsuccessful attempt to become New Labour candidate in Corby, apparently, like many a technocrat, not really understanding how to work a constituency system that, even today, depends a great deal on glad-handing opinionated and self-important local worthies. 
He wrote often on party reform, broadly along New Labour rather than democratic lines, and was part of a circle of younger (then) radicals who wanted engagement with capitalism by using the state as regulator. In essence, he was and probably still is a modernising social liberal rather than anything that the past or the future would call a socialist.Tim Pendry 'The Blogs & David Pitt-Watson' As it Happens,
