So what if the climate changes because of aircraft emissions. Climate change is nothing new. So what if sea levels rise & some cows in Bangladesh drown? They probably had foot & mouth disease anyway: that coupled with a deep inferiority complex brought on by the Bangladeshi cricket teams current lack of sporting success. The cows were going to die anyway & it doesn’t matter how many appeals you have to buy replacement cows, they too will die … that’s way its called the third world.

According to reports on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme yesterday, it is all the fault of the middle class (no surprises there)… flying off to their holiday homes in Tuscany. Clearly the Environmental Change Unit feels that the factory worker flying down to Spain for two weeks lager & sunburn is OK but the company director going his gite in the Dordogne needs to be vilified. Its not as if travel broadens the horizons as well as bringing people from different countries together – how on earth are we supposed to be good EU serfs if we cant get a cheap weekend to Brussels to marvel at the edifice that our political masters have created in our name?

But rather than face reality, environmental activists with their close allies in the charity industry would much much rather be trying to beat up on holiday makers & buying cows for Bangladeshi villages so that they can be Seen to be Doing Something while showing to all & sundry, how much they Care. They don’t actually want to create jobs in third world countries or enable struggling economies to grow– oh no – what they want on an endless seam of starving recipients for their largess.
