    Read the article before mouthing off:

    In May, the UK's environment ministry published a study that examined the viability of establishing a nationwide personal carbon trading scheme .... It concluded that ... it would not be pursuing it...

    Tim Yeo MP, the Conservative's former shadow environment secretary, ... told the Guardian he thought the RSA trial was the "right way forward".
    i.e. Labour against implementing the scheme, Tories in favour.

    Now, I personally would love to believe the Tories will win the next election and fix everything that I don't like about New Labour, but I'd find it easier to believe that they'll leave a sixpence for every tooth they find under the pillow.

      Really? That's the Tories?

      I always thought it was the tooth fairy... wow!
      Eeyore was very glad to be able to stop thinking for a little, in order to say "How do you do" in a gloomy manner to Pooh.
      "And how are you?" said Winnie-the-Pooh.
      Eeyore shook his head from side to side. "Not very how," he said. "I don't seem to felt at all how for a long time."

                  Not to mention a lack of ambition.

                  FFS, what's so special about 1000 years?

                  Yeah, I know Hitler couldn't manage it, but he was a short-arse Austrian.

                    What is special about 1000 years is that as soon as someone says that their power will last that long, they are dooooomed!

                      You forgot

                      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
