Israeli Minister Denied Access to COP 26

COP 26

Johnson’s mob makes me ashamed. Just when you think that they could not get worse.

“Karine Elharrar, Israel’s minister for energy and water, was forced to wait two hours outside the event site Monday after organizers refused to let her enter in her adapted vehicle, she said.

Her office said she was later offered shuttle transport to the summit area, but the bus was not wheelchair-accessible and she had to return to her hotel in Edinburgh.” (source)

Johnson Falls Flat

The first day of COP 26 did not start well. It was late starting, then Johnson made his opening speech. The jokes fell flat and he exposed the difference between his rhetoric and his government’s actions. He appealed for action to protect and save the world. This a week after his Chancellor slashed internal flight taxes. His government continues to pursue oil extraction and wants to open a new coal mine.

Scottish Greens climate spokesperson Mark Ruskell MSP said:

“We all know the Prime Minister’s actions seldom match his rhetoric but when it comes to climate crisis Johnson is taking duplicity to new levels.” (Which you must admit is an achievement, given his record of lying and obscurification).

This is a man who will not even admit to how many children he has. (His father claims to have at least one more grand children than Johnson admits he has kids). His record of incompetence is amazing. Remember the water cannon that could not be used in London, it would have been illegal. They were eventually sold for scrap, at a loss of £300,000. How about the garden bridge? Failed, failed, failed. At least it only cost the taxpayers £43m (only). The list goes on. Not firing Dominic Cummings (irresponsible), Patel (incompetent bully), Hancock (incompetent – too stupid to realise he was on CCTV, JenricK (breaking covids rules) and all the others.

And yet this is the man in “charge” of COP 26.

God help us all.
