Does this define "hypocrisy"?
I gave a lift in the Defender to a member of the GREEN PARTY who does not own a car (you can guess why). Funnily enough he had no issues in accepting a lift in a diesel Defender. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel
1992 110 200tdi csw -Zikali
2008 110 2.4 tdci csw-Zulu
2011 110 2.4 tdci csw-Masai

No doubt they'd argue that their actions are 'on message' because they are carpooling to reduce the overall amount of vehicles on the road, specifically with a single occupant.

Green Party came around last night offering leaflets encouraging me to vote for them... again printing paper and handing it out where 90% will probably go in the bin Confused

There are lots of people around that are concerned and worried about the world we are living in.
They all want change as long as it doesn’t affect them.

We had a green councillor in our village who, the year he stood for election went on holiday to Peru.
I’m sure he planted some trees. Thats the answer to everything these days. It’s a bit like punching someone on the nose then giving them a box of chocolates like it makes the difference.

Not sure if anyone watched Panorama last night but they reported that the carbon credits big companies are trading are a farce and the system is corrupt.

Who would have thought it? Whistle

My neighbours always have Vote Green stickers in their windows. We all find it amusing, because whilst she drives an electric BMW i3, he drives a Range Rover Sport SVR. Laughing Eiger Grey MY23 D250 SE with bits. Known as Noddy.

Can’t remember who it was who quoted the Royal Family, solving climate change one helicopter ride a time Rolling with laughter

We have a Guy who lives near me who bangs on about carbon neutrality and the harm WE are doing to our world and he has a V8 Aston Martin as a daily (and it is not a classic but quite new).

The Guy who went to Peru that I told you about had a medical problem and lost his licence to drive. I know that there were many in this village I live in who refused to give him and his wife a lift to the shops as they thought he would find it more environmentally friendly using the Bus. Lesson in life. Don’t burn bridges. You never know when you will need to make a hasty retreat Laughing

Just read this article:

It doesn’t take a genius to work out the motive of that behaviour and it is not aesthetics. No Guts, No Glory.
