AMERICA, YOU DAMN WELL BETTER GET YOUR BUTT IN GEAR AND READY FOR THESE ASSWIPES.

RCOB. Again.

Some of you just have to recall me banging on as much as a year ago, saying things that happen here will spread to the USA, and that what saved us (it’s only temporary ) is our size.
It’s the idea that theses foreign mother!*%!+=s will come to the states and do EXACTLY what this group is trying on.

If Americans want to argue amongst ourselves that’s our business. What we don’t need is a foreign based group (and god alone knows we already have enuff of those) coming to America to preach their fucked up green agenda to us.

Just be warned folks these bastards are on the way to add to the argument.
I really hate these bastards.  It’s like a fire that never goes out.

Just so ya know. I’ve censored myself. But you can guess more then likely, what I’d like to do if I have my way with regard to these intrusive ppl.

Today nagging the British, tomorrow the world: Green quango launches campaign to preach abroad

A green quango funded by the British taxpayer has caused outrage by launching an international campaign to preach about the need to curb emissions.

Despite growing pressure for public spending cuts in the UK, the Carbon Trust is expanding its empire to establish a presence in the U.S. and China.

The Daily Mail has learned that the organisation, which received almost £100million in taxpayer funding last year, is trying to recruit a Head of Carbon Trust U.S.A.

Critics expressed astonishment that the trust was attempting to influence the democratic debate in the U.S.

Matthew Sinclair, of the TaxPayers’ Alliance campaign group, branded it an ‘extremely questionable’ use of British taxpayers’ money.

The trust was created as an independent, but taxpayer-funded, company by the British Government to encourage firms to cut their greenhouse gas emissions.

But this summer, it created a new arm - Carbon Trust International Ltd - to ‘further its international objectives’.

The organisation has signed agreements with a Chinese national investment corporation and the state of Florida.

Its American boss will be expected to work at establishing organisations across the U.S. to engage in green lobbying.

But Mr Sinclair said: ‘It is shocking that an organisation funded by British taxpayers is trying to expand into new territories as if it is a multinational company.’

Iain Murray, an energy expert at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, a U.S. think-tank, said: ‘ Americans are extremely sceptical about the cost to America of emissions reduction. I suspect they will be even more annoyed if their representatives listen to the British Government rather than to them.’

But Tom Delay, chief executive of the Carbon Trust, said: ‘They are barking up the wrong tree.

‘We do not lobby governments wherever they are in the world, we help business reduce carbon emissions now and in the future.

‘Our work overseas is funded by overseas companies and governments and our support for this represents 1 per cent of our UK budget.’

Meanwhile, this is what the Daily Mail has to say on the subject in an editorial this morning.

The £100million-a-year empire of the green quango

By Daily Mail Comment

Spending cuts are the last thing on the mind of Tom Delay, £223,000-a-year chief executive of a green quango funded by British taxpayers.

While the rest of us tighten our belts, he’s expanding his £100million-a-year Carbon Trust empire to establish a presence in the U.S. and China.

‘Our work overseas has one sole purpose - to accelerate the move to a low carbon economy,’ he says.

What conceivable business is it of ours to subsidise preaching to the Americans and Chinese?

At an estimated £100billion a year, Britain’s 700,000 quangocrats cost more than enough as it is, without spreading their tentacles around the globe.

This week, Gordon Brown is under pressure to draw up a list of ‘compassionate cuts’, to fall where they will cause least pain.

He should start with the Carbon Trust.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
