    I saw the Gone With The Wind Reference and had an image of Gordon Brown as Ret Butler saying “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a dam”
    Weird.

    ‘My daddy: a hero of Afghanistan”. I wonder who wrote that article, i’m hazarding a guess its not going to be the baby.

    Energy costs to rise…..is that supposed to be a joke?

    In what parallel reality do they not rise?

    …..and seeing as it now looks like the argument over whether it is happening at all is pretty much over (now Bush & Co. have stopped using the resources of the USA to misinform and block) we move on to stage 2 of the rear-guard fight and they will now propagandise endlessly at the people that all this ‘green stuff’ is really just about fleecing them for more tax – as if not doing a thing is an option and as if fleecing the people is the only means to fund this.

    It’s not only crass stupidity but it is self-harming insanity…….maybe one day they’ll go on trial for the damage they’ve helped do?

    there’s something horribly sickly and cutesy about the “my daddy” headline in the corner, it looks like they’re putting words in the mouth of a kid too young to even be able to say or spell the word “afghanistan.” the article inside the paper could be completely different for all i know, but judging by the headline i don’t really expect it to be very tasteful or tactful.
    as for the main headline, is there any reason why “tax” is in speech marks? is it because it’s not really a tax, or is it because it’s a quote from a (knowing the express, probably made-up) source?

    Where’s the Express from the weekend that had a front page that pretty much said that letting travelers into the police service was tantamount to them employing criminals? It was extraordinary.

    The article won’t have been written by a ‘journalist’ either. The Express doesn’t employ any of those.

    Mail Man, I’m sure every every Express reader has read in full the Stern Report and all related studies into the economic impact of climate change so as to be qualified to spout their protestations without fear of naivity. Actually, maybe they didn’t read it because there was no dead blonde on the cover….

    Perhaps we should just invade somewhere that has lots of wind and steal theirs? Then daddy could be the hero of… I dunno… Norway? Norway looks like it should be pretty windy.
