I don’t know what winds me up more, the Eurovison Song Contest or constantly having to dodge the runaway global warming bandwagon.
Do we really want to be associated with people who think it is perfectly normal to dress up in strange outfits and belt out folksey, insular songs about cattle and feckless women? However, enough about the Americans.
There is something worrying about nations using a singing competition to indulge in jiggery pokery to show their disapproval of the UK’s involvement in some of the more difficult world situations. You know, like how to avoid incoming from your allies.
It’s a Knockout was a much better way to sort out tribal differences. Jeu Sans Frontiers, the chance to stick one on a Belgian postman dressed as a playing card. All good fun if you could understand the language. Did anyone understand what Eddie Wareing was saying?
To the best of my knowlege there is no Eurovision entry that deals with sticky, or at least that’s what it may be, underarm of global warming.
If there was you could bet it would blame the UK.
Come to think about it, we are the only European - I use the term loosely - country that does much bleating about homeless polar bears and soon-to-be extinct Columbian beetles. And it’s not us that sets all the sheep alight.
As a matter of note I’ll just tell you that the most carbon-creative car in production is a Lamborghini Diablo and Aston Martin have two models in the top ten as named by the Environmental Transport Association or ETA.
Well done you two!
I don’t know if it has occurred to ETA that without carbon dioxide trees would have nothing to breathe but no matter. I’ll accept that there is a 50-50 chance the planet is gettng warmer what I won’t accept is that you can tax it back to cooler times. Especially if it is not man who is causing the problem.
Still, who are we to stand in the way of a good old bandwagon.
