I'M SO PROUD TO BE BRRRRITISH!

It's late autumn here in middle England. I was out and about in the village on the morning and it was perishingly cold, and sitting outside of a well-known pie and coffee shop on the wide pavement at the tables, having drinks and nibbles, were several hardy souls, bearing in mind it was only 5 degrees above freezing, it makes you proud to be Brrrritish.

IRONY OF CLIMATE CHANGE ACTION

So the government has pledged trillions of pounds to support overseas countries affected by climate change.

Meanwhile at home, due to climate change, increasing numbers of villages and towns are flooded due to lack of government funding for flood defences. Isn't it ironic that businesses that are being wrecked by the floods, are the ones that help create the wealth for the taxes to be he raised to allow the government to make the commitments!

Perhaps if these areas had been on Sir Keir's overseas flight path they may have been better funded.
