Saving the Planet

Andrew Marr's show is the political talking shop of a Sunday Morning on the BBC - and it delivered a gem this morning that proves exactly how shallow, vacuous, big business-driven this world is.

Oh we had the Tory (read rich son a rich Zionist) Zac Goldsmith telling us all how we can "save the planet" (copyright).

Why do the politicians tell us such things?

Just yesterday I ranted to the sprogs (much to their glee and to much applause) how the traitor politicians turn to "saving the planet" because they cannot even clean-up London (where most of them are based) of street-crime, drugs, burglary etc.

Why deal with the non-pc issues of today (beyond sound-bites and spin) when you can dreamily aspire to save the whole planet in the next 10 years???

It has all the substance and consistency of Prescott's plans for infrastructure, travel, the roads etc. had 10 years ago: i.e. lots of spin, no results, things will worsen etc., but it won't stop the politicos announcing great initiatives (usually announcing many of them several times over).

Back to the BBC's Andrew Marr Show though.

The best was still to come. Some non-entity actor came on (Mr. Who-He) about how he has started World Peace Day. Oh the tears flooded out back at the FC hovel.

He was a normal actor and realised one day that he wanted to change the world. (Can you hear the polite applause rippling across suburbia? Neither can I)

So what did he do? He approached the UN....

Oh yes - the UN. That bastion of humanistic bureaucracy!

So now we have a UN Day of Peace.

Stop selling guns Mr spook-backed big businessman! Stop torturing innocents Israel! Stop the extraordinary renditions America! Peace has arrived!!!

Cue the flowery music.

Then Andrew Marr turned to Annie Lennox (who's involved with the Peace thingy) and said "many people are cynical" when pop stars (for she is such) get involved.

"Yes, but if I wasn't involved this wouldn't happen" replied the aging Scots liberal in a typically pop-star's way, full of humility.

Then in the quickest and cheesiest topic-change in recent history, Marr intoned "so tell us about your latest album" and the BBC cut to a video of one of her songs.

Yes, we then had more minutes spent discussing Ms. Lennox's new album, her time with the Eurythmics (have I spelt that right? Do you care?) etc. ad nauseum.

World Peace was finished with. Presumably World Peace was delivered and "sorted" - and onto the far more serious business of shifting albums!

Ker-Ching!

I had tears in my eyes. Perhaps tears for the victims of vicious regimes murdered and tortured today - but moreso tears of laughter for Ms. Lennox and her Crusade to... flog her new album!

It was a treat to behold dear reader!

The postscript of that gem was our Home Secretary appearing on thew show to say that she was tackling immigration (pertinent after talking about crime, local services and house building).

"How so?" You ask. And I will tell you dear reader.

Our beloved Home Secretary Ms. Smith has started a quango on the path to producing a report on immigration's impact on local services...

Oh!!!! That's that "sorted" then.

What were we worried about???

What will the report deduce? That mass immigration (in the millions) does impact on housing, schools, hospitals etc.?

It might also discover that bears poop in forests and that the Bishop of Rome attends Mass!!!!

Still, by the time this body, this quango, this committee finally reports a few more million will be through the door and we'll move onto the next problem...

That's how politicos sweep news under the carpet.

Sir Humphrey eat your heart out!
