Charles Exposes Himself



Prince Charles to call for 'vast military-style campaign' on climate change

The Prince of Wales will be speaking at the opening of the COP26 summit later today, where he will argue a "war-like footing" is needed to tackle the climate crisis.

Charles has spent decades trying to raise awareness of the growing crisis, taking after his father Prince Philip.

"We need a vast military-style campaign to marshal the strength of the global private sector with trillions at its disposal," he is expected to say.


Oh dear - Charles exposes his totalitarian soul. I'd hoped for something better from the man as the responsibilities of the throne loom ever closer. Perhaps that makes me a curable romantic.

Luckily, the loon has no power, and his influence will hopefully be dented by this latest festival of bullshit. People quite liked him when he was talking to his roses and raising organic produce and deploring modern architecture. These seemed fitting for our slightly dotty landed gentry, and it gave him something quite harmless to do while waiting for the throne. A bit like stamp collecting, or wood-turning.

But now, he is actually lecturing us from a palace about taking responsibility for our actions, and changing our lifestyles. We have to worry about charging points, insulation, and what to replace boilers with. While he helicopters to banquets in order to parrot slogans. Surely people can start to see through this. I'm hoping we are approaching a tipping point, because I don't believe the public are that dense...

Let me guess. Ordinary people will wear uniform-like clothing of poor cloth and eat synthetic gruel while their 'betters' will fly from banquet to banquet to exhort those ordinary people to greater sacrifice.

I think he's a shameless liar. He's enough of a countryman to grasp the importance of minimising the fuel load on the forest floor in hot places. (Part of his 'education' took place in Australia). But he has no problem claiming that wildfires in such forests are caused by global warming rather than by green inspired woodland management malpractice.

Sam - I'm left wondering how much faith this festival of bullshit has damaged. For some reason I would not be surprised at all if Boris doesn't believe a word of it but for him a bandwagon is a bandwagon. I'm hoping we are approaching a tipping point too.

DJ - that's where we are headed. Doesn't mean we'll end up there fortunately, but we should be doing much better than this.

decnine - I'd like to think he is thick rather than a shameless liar, but that's a good point. He should know about the link between poor woodland management and forest fires. How could he not know?
