to find most sleb environmental campaigners annoying and patronising hypocrites?

[mm22bys]

There was a story on the BBC breakfast showB this morning about a sleb who is an environmental campaigner. I have no idea who she is, but am I the only one who finds most people like her somewhat annoying, patronising and hypocritical?

She openly admits to flying "for her job", but she "offsets" her carbon emissions. Aren't carbon offsets kind of like drinking diet coke, but still scoffing down cake?

Even so, she is on a campgain to "save the world" by encouraging people to only boil enough water for the exact no of cups of coffee we're going to drink, and turn off lights when we're out.

Why on earth should I listen to her, what authority does she have?

(Sorry if this has been done to death elsewhere!)

I'll give him a teaspoon made from a renewable source of bamboo to use as a shovel, goat.

It was various things. her pr kept having to 'help' her because she had no idea what she was talking about. I can't say more - might be identified!

and you didn't slap her? were you sedated?

"Why do I want to do this?" said 22-year-old Sam Branson. "Well my Dad asked if I wanted to come along with Will a couple of months ago and I jumped at the opportunity."

With Hollywood good looks and an inherited smile, he has also an inherited responsibility.

"I need to experience the Arctic firsthand and the effects it's having," Sam Branson said. "You know that global warming is having on the environment and learn a bit about the culture up here."

What a great big numpty arse he is. How did he get to the Artic? By bike?

The culture of the Arctic.

PMSL.

Clooney's campaigning for summat isn't he? I agree with whatever he says so long as he shags me.
Forever.

Yah, you know, like nightclubs and stuff.

Clooney said that did he?

I'll have you know there's a fine art to making snowballs.

How about Branson sets it up as a new tourist destination, so people can 'see for themselves'. Prick.

He sounds so profound.

He's probably writing a book about this life-changing experience.

It will be an instant bestseller, write up there with Jade's and Jordan's autobiographies.

Sorry x-posted, just imagining Sam branson's idea of "Arctic culture"

Did I mention that I think he's an arse?

"I need to experience the Arctic first hand" - no you don't you idiot!

Considering he probably hasn't got the ability to understand concepts that are not immediately tangible to his senses, he probably did need to go to the Artic a) to understand that it exists b) that is it devoid of culture in the 'yah' sense of the word. Whether or not he was able to become aware that many of Branson's business actitivities have likely contributed to its diminshment, however, is a concept that will probably prove impossible for him to take on board.

Erm, Rhu, it wasn't Clooney who felt he need to go there - he probably realised there are no liquor stores there so there was no way he'd chose it as a travel destination.

It was Sam Branson.

I know, I just started thinking about Clooney that's all.

Ignore me, I'm fantasising.

Now then, where was I? Oh yes, Clooney's willy!

I don't mind them so much when they lecture big business, it's telling ME to turn my lights off that makes me want to punch their lights out.
Actually, anyone who makes Hollywood blockbusters hasn't a leg to stand on re energy use anyway.

Cloony is campaigning for Darfur. Respect.

I know what Rhuby thinks George Clooney should be doing with his energy.

oooo did someone mention George ???

But you see, they never pontificate about the evils of big business. Because they know which side their bread is buttered on.

I'm sorry but if it was with George I'd want the lights well and truly turned ON!

Phwoooar! He can float my iceberg anytime!

What is it about George Cloony?
I just luuuuuurrrve the man! He is sooooooo scrumptious
