You’re going to love Godfrey Bloom. A Member of the European Parliament from the United Kingdom, Bloom loves to tweak the noses of the establishment. Like in this brief comment about the global warming “crisis.”
“I take the opportunity of wishing the east European cities well in the coming of the very early skiing season, and snow and ice, which is indicative of the fact that, as independent scientists have now confirmed, that the globe is actually cooling and has been cooling since 2002 and broadly flat since 1998.
“So we’re all talking about something here which isn’t happening. I’ve heard time and time again members talk of CO2 as a pollutant — a pollutant that’s a life-giving natural gas. It gives me the impression that some of our members haven’t had the benefit of a formal education.
“Isn’t this really just about the state being able to get its hand in ordinary people’s trouser pocket and still get more tax from them? Isn’t this all about political control? Isn’t this all about politics and big business? The whole thing’s a sham, this bogus hypothesis that man-made CO2 is causing global warming.
“Enough, please, before we damage irrevocably the global economy.”
Of course, he eviscerates them in that clipped British accent that says, “I’m smarter than you could ever hope to be.” And in the case of the European Parliament, he probably is.

Damn!
Hmmm, Godfrey Bloom knows how to deliver a real shot to the chops…
I wonder if Bloom has been cheating on the Euro-Weasels by reading some of that heretic Anthony Watts?
No matter what you views on global warming saying well-done to another government for committing a terrorist act is not a good thing, I am sure he would be one of the first up in arms if a New Zealand Politian was to say well done to the IRA for the bombings in the UK.
