Top Trumps- 20-20-20 vision

I was sat in our Cafe at work mid afternoon, savouring some refreshment and vaguely watching the large plasma screen on the wall. It is permanently tuned to BBC NEWS 24 and the Prime Minister Mc Broon (The one eyed Gorgon) was making a live statement to the House.

I couldn’t hear him (the sound was very low and I’m a bit hard of hearing anyway) but the real-time sub-titles were on. During the course of the statement, he mentioned the EU Bingo pledge- 20% reduction in emissions by 2020, along with 20% decrease in energy use and 20% of power from renewable sources.

As an aside, though, he slipped in that we would be going for 30%.

What? Does he understand nothing of electricity generation? Is he now way past Dagenham and almost at Upminster?

It is either some bizarre scorched earth policy for the next Government, or he genuinely believes that anything other Countries can do he can do better.

Annie, get your gun…
