It’s always the same; the only sin in public life is hypocrisy. So they’ve gone and calculated the carbon footprints of lots of holier-than-thou and greener-than-green type ‘planet-savers’ to see if they ‘walk the walk’, rather than ‘fly the plane’. And it would appear that only Greta Thundberg is worth listening to without thinking ‘yeah, but that’s not what YOU do’, and no-one wants to listen to Greta.

Yet Bill Gates, massive donor to charity, deeply concerned about climate change, endangered species and everything, last year traveled 213,000 miles on his private jet. Meaning that his personal emissions (its just an expression, for cows its more literal) were 1,600 tons of CO2. The ‘average’ human being emits 5 tons. Yet the average ones don’t bang on so much about saving the planet, and Bill does. When in reality he is a PLANET MURDERER!!! J-Lo didn’t fare so well either, emitting carbons by the million and flying around the world to tell everyone how bad it is to fly around the world all the time. If more people flew around the world to tell of the evils of air travel the planet will be dead in 3 years, 2 months and 4 days. Yet I’m more lenient to J-Lo than to Bill Gates because even though she’s now 146 years old she is still the most gorgeous thing in a private jet.

Jeremy Corbyn’s hypocrisy is different. He can’t afford a private jet, never wants to go anywhere beyond Scarborough and no-one listens to what he says anyway. But he’s still a terrible hypocrite. Because in the 40 years of being an MP before he became party leader, he holds the record for voting against his party more times than anyone else. Always ‘voted with his conscience’. But unfortunately, Jezza’s conscience was hijacked by Trotskyists in 1961 and he’s never got it back. But that’s no excuse. Because the 19 Labour members who voted on Monday for the Boris Brexit Deal have been hounded, terrorised and attacked on social media. Not by Jeremy himself, but by all those lovelies who support and encourage him. Who imply that voting against the whip makes those MPs vile, scum and ‘vermin’ and unfit party members.

Ahhhh, the left wing; so tolerant and inclusive and open to thoughts and ideas. As long as those thoughts and ideas are EXACTLY in line with the rule with ABSOLUTELY NO DEVIATION.

The Labour machine is approaching ‘Cultural Revolution’ standards, I fear. In which everyone is scared of saying, doing or even thinking anything that doesn’t comply with the strictly Corbyn/McDonnell/McLusky/Chairman Mao party line. And will be reported, will be ‘shopped’ by friends, family, neighbours and never seen again. Because that is true democracy.

Happy Thursday
