Not quite as angry today but still a slight bit of steam issuing from the ears. The Indian Government have now said that they will not accept any CO2 binding agreements that will compromise their economy, wise people, even the great Al Gore has now said that Copenhagen is pointless but Jonah Brown continues his pointless act. The Nasa falsification of data has reared up again. There was a nice little exchange on the BBC yesterday morning where two people got to at least challenge the BBC approach which turns out to be the same old rant of the "science is proven" NO ITS NOT.
If both Nasa and East Anglia have, and it still has not be proven they did, falsified their data then the entire edifice come down.
The afternoon was very nice spent as it was in middle England, well the brother in laws rugby club, which was supposed to be playing youngest sons school old boys. That got rained out, but prior to the match there was a lunch well attended by ex and current players, I even played a few games for them one season, but that's a long and boring story. We has a nice lunch but the banter and spirit in that room was what has made and can make Britain great. These are the people who fought the wars and conquered and built the empire. Mainly god fearing folk who will stand by their friends and fellow players to the end. We had to settle for watching the Springboks, thinly disguised as the Barbarians, beat the All Blacks at Twickenham, with not an English player in sight.
Talking with these people, I would hesitate to elevate myself to the level of peer, has a curiously calming effect on me, helped on by a few pints of bitter, its not that we are in lockstep with our beliefs its just we all get a fair hearing. These are the people who are very close to saying to Whitehall and Westminster that's enough we want our country back. These are the lawyers, labourers, policemen, bankers, entrepreneurs, workers and businessmen, who pay the bulk of the taxes in this country and who look at the wasteland of the midlands, where the money gets spent keeping this government in power,and are slowly coming from despair to real anger at the government and what is perceived as an effete ruling class. David Cameron and his ilk ignore these people at their peril.

just got mad
I have not kept this blog up that well, to be quite honest I look at the quality of the blogs around the place and its a bit intimidating, but this morning has got me all riled up so here goes.
The British government continues to show its sheer incompetance, in all things finacial especially. News this morning that I linked to on Twitter of
1: the ammount of money made by the banks, the people who exacerbated the problem, from the government, who caused the problem, as advisory fees to solve the problem they created. See http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/6721206/Bonanza-for-City-lawyers-accountants-and-advisers-as-Treasury-pays-for-crisis-advice.html
2: Having announced in the queens speech that they were going to cut the deficit by 50% the Chancellor now says well not right now, in other words he does not know how to solve the issue, quell surprize. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/8cf0ff68-e04f-11de-8494-00144feab49a.html
3: The banks who have recieved finacial support from the taxpayer have not met their lending commitments but at the same time are not foreclosing on commercial properties, no connection of course, but by not foreclosing on the commercial property markets they are delaying the second dip into recession. Some of the banks who would foreclose on you or me in a heartbeat are not even testing the covenants as they know what will happen then. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/075d5426-e05b-11de-8494-00144feab49a.html
If that batch of stupidity was not enough, the governement has reduced itself to calling names at anyone who is not in lockstep over global warming, er cooling, er climate change even after it is clearly shown that the scientists have been lying, NASA and East Anglia University for starters, about the data. To add to that the chancellor of East Anglia gets on TV this morning and says well even if they did it doesn't matter neatly sidestepping that the bulk of the arguement for the change is based on the data these bozos fiddled with and then neatly lost.
I am now in the market for a nice little island, not at the Gallapagous as change is not permitted there now, not at the very place that proved that a species under stress will mutate and evolve to deal wit the stress http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/southamerica/galapagos/6719680/Wildlife-of-Galapagos-Islands-devastated-by-ocean-warming.html, to retire to.
