UK prime minister shows himself to be a complete twonk

Comment As UK pledges to sue itself if it doesn't go green enough

THE UK GOVERNMENT YESTERDAY bigged itself up over promises to cut carbon emissions by 60 per cent before 2050.

The plans unveiled by Environment Secretary David Miliband would be legally binding, meaning that if governments miss the targets they could be taken to court.

Mr Miliband said the proposal was "the first of its kind in any country", and said Britain was "leading by example". Strange that when it comes to nukes, the same politicos say that unilateralism doesn't work.

Anyhow, the main reason the EU and the UK has come out with proposals to cut emissions is to put pressure on the US and A to follow suit. The US is the world's greediest and most polluting nation, yet its leader George W. Bush refuses to listen to any eco-arguments that he thinks would "damage our economy."

His mate Toby Blair stepped up to the mark to claim some credit for going green, however. The outgoing discredited Prime Minister appeared on the box with a beaming, satellite-linked Governor of California, Arnold Swarzenegger.

Arnie had apparently done great work on climate change in California and was an inspiration to Blair. Arnie in turn called Blair a "real action hero".

ITN's interviewer then asked Arnie about his Hummer, in an attempt to embarrass him. Turns out Arnie has two Hummers. One he has converted to run on bio-fuels and the other runs a mix of non-polluting gases, he said.

So what about you Prime Minister?" the interviewer said. Have you converted your SUVs to bio-fuels? "No," mumbled the daft apath. "But we have done lots of things. In fact the room we are in has energy efficient lightbulbs," he said blinking into the glare of the TV lights.

Leading by example, huh? Isn't it about time this twat went off for a long lie down? µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
