Support your local dictator! Go Green.

One thing that struck me about the spectacle of hypocrisy and excess that has just broken up in Copenhagen. Was that as Milliband, Brown et al where busily engaged in grandstanding on the world stage, they where rubbing shoulders with some very unsavoury company Robert Mugabe. Who is merely the most high profile of the grubby prehensile tyrants that tipped up cap in hand at the massive waste of aviation fuel that was COP15. In fact The Hague might have proved a more apt venue for the gathering of so many human rights abusers, international crooks, fraudsters and war criminals.

Amongst the squadrons of private jets (more than 140 of them) and fleets of bulletproof limousines (An estimated 1200) That began to pull into town a fortnight ago there must have been a few candidates for the international court to have a chat to. But it seems that provided you are singing from the man made global warming hymm sheet all other crimes can be overlooked. The odd part of all this is that in spite of the predicable failure of an all singing agreement Africa alone has wrested £60billion per anum from the developed world. So thanks to cretins like Millipede you and me will be like as not helping to pay for oom Bob’s new private jet or president Obiangs latest armoured Merc. As we pay throught the nose so that some of the most odious and evil scum on earth can enjoy a life of unbridled luxury. Still its good for the planet eh?

Bankers V Steelworkers

It was interesting to note the contrasting attitude of the government toward the ending of steel production at the Corus Teesside cast products factory near Redcar. Unlike the still rising £860.billion in bailouts and subsidies that their friends in the banking industry have enjoyed, No offers of help have been forth coming from business minister lord mandelson. infact, In his interview on the BBC radio 4’s world at one he didn’t even offer his best wishes to the 1700 workers who now face being laid of indefanitly just weeks before Christmas.

How predictable that the labour government so enraptured with the city yesterday saw Alistair Darling fail to sanction a windfall tax on those bankers who ,having had their skins saved by taxpayers money just a year ago are now back to awarding themselves obseen bonuses as though it hadn’t happened,

While just two hundred miles north in a town full of generations of loyal labour voters, 1700 peoples livelihoods are allowed do be tossed away without the slightest mention of intervention.

It leaves you wondering not just what utter twats the government are, but also how much they take the votes of those in the north-east Labour heartlands for granted and what total contempt the labour government has for them.
