With green talks on a road to nowhere, Eamonn Dwyer takes aim at our Faustian pact with fossil fuels.
They’re like those people who keep telling us not to add salt to our food, or guilt us for wearing a top from a sweatshop. Incessant, proscribing and one-note, they are the spoilers; the people who like to belch on our bluefin tuna before telling us why we shouldn’t be eating it in the first place. If climate change activists don’t get on your goat, that’s because you’re one of them.

Professional nutjob Anjem Choudary got what he really wanted this morning – not a demonstration in Wootton Bassett or fewer Afghan civilian casualties, but 20 minutes of primetime radio real estate on BBC 5 Live.

‘Western double standards’ is a phrase often bandied around political debate concerning the Muslim world – normally, and quite rightly, in reference to Israel, whose transgressions would provoke far more outrage were they perpetrated by any other country.

A few weeks ago, the New York Times was thoughtful enough to do a little feature in a video blog titled ‘Tuning out the Taliban‘.
