As for Huhne, he was no doubt behnd this initiative. You're talking about it, so to suggest he isn't doing anything would appear to be a little foolish.James Graham (Quaequam Blog!)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00319089107820032874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1146154201954694512006-04-27T17:10:00.000+01:002006-04-27T17:10:00.000+01:00Cameron's enviromentally friendly talk is just a P...Cameron's enviromentally friendly talk is just a PR stunt. <BR/><BR/>This letter from Ming is there to expose the opportunistic soundings from Mr Cameron.

They're pissing in the wind. Who cares whether Ming has a Jag, if it's in a garage hardly ever used. Who cares whether Dave has a Prius and his energy spokesperson a Boxter? These are but tinkering with a problem that we are not going to solve under the current economic system anyway. They are feeding us tid-bits, maybe even they don't realise it and are taken in by this, to make us think we can just make a few changes here and there. No, huge assumptions need to change, And neither Dave nor Ming, nor even the Greens "proper" are actually talking about any of it.<BR/><BR/>What could be more scary - having a planet we can't live on in the worst case or having to rethink the man made rules of the economy? And I believe we are at that stage now.Jock Coatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15550558005508328017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1146144781650222632006-04-27T14:33:00.000+01:002006-04-27T14:33:00.000+01:00...didn't the recent Guardian ICM poll show the To......didn't the recent Guardian ICM poll show the Tories still 3rd on this issue....17%, with the LDs first at c30%?<BR/><BR/>Chris Huhne is a terrible environment spokesman.
