Tim Yeo Cruel Victim of Green Practical Joke

As you know, I think Tim Yeo has been, how shall we put it, a tad hypocritical about his views on global warming and how we should now all wear hairshirts. See HERE and HERE. This snippet from the Sunday Times Atticus column yesterday added fuel to the already blazing fire...

Tory MP Tim Yeo has surely been the victim of a cruel practical joke. Yeo, a
former environment minister, is well known for his campaign against climate
change. He wants domestic flights to be scrapped and his website boasts of his
commitment to the planet. Yet what do we find in the latest Bentley magazine?
Somebody calling themselves Tim Yeo, MP for South Suffolk, has been test driving
the Bentley Continental Flying Spur. He sinks into the warm embrace of its
leather seats and takes it on a golfing jolly. The Bentley does about 16mpg and
has carbon emissions that rival those of a jumbo jet. Surely the real Tim Yeo
would have mentioned this?

I assume Mr Yeo will be donating his fat fee from Bentley to erasing his carbon footprint. What gets me though is why Bentley think that getting Tim Yeo to test drivce one of their cars would encoruage anyone to buy one!

A Message to Tim Yeo

It's only a matter of time before some idiot politician gets the idea of banning airlines from running airmiles rewards programmes, all in the interests of "saving the envirament" (sic). British Airways have an advert running at the moment which rewards anyone who takes two domestic flights in March with 5,000 extra airmiles. I think the message they are trying to give is "Up yours, Tim Yeo". Confused? See HERE.
