Green Day: Libs Now Too Yellow to be Fair?

No surprise that the Tory greenery doesn't stretch to the undergrowth. Only the canopy feeding Etonian Cameron's stunts like this (in own words) seem to have got into the swing of this bogus green cuddly-nu-tory agenda.

On the other hand there seem to be real problems of understanding within the Lib Dems with this woman trying to get free parking and a fair deal for 4 x 4s one minute and waving placards against them and hollering the next. Not very convincing that. The Greens have their number.

But surely on Fair Trade it's different? Even if the party of the mercantile classes remains robust in their Free Trade ideals the Libs are on side aren't they? Their latest leaflets in my area show NW MEPs Chris Davies and Sajjad Karim talking the talk and the maverick Davies is all over the place appearing to support Fair Trade. But what do the rank and file chancers think?

This blog from the well meaning Councillor Ann In Sedgeley (Bury, Greater Manchester) does not deviate from a green/fair message. Yet the only comment in recent times basically says that (a) Fair Trade is not green and (b) Fair Trade is completely antithical to Lib Dems who want it free. Well done Tristan. But you're not just some village idiot are you? You're a proper Fibby blogger here whose last home post is all about getting it wrong. Or in my opinion right. By supporting an element of competitive sports against Lib Dem spokes-maverick nonsense. Work on the spolling in your comments but better out than in. If you want to get anything else off your chest just mail me at idea at mcr1 poptel org uk.

Don't want to rain on those Lib Dem MEPs' parade. But wouldn't you say that the gravy and Fair Trade chocolate is sticking rather round Sajjad's tum tum? He's twice the man he used to be! Not yet a rival for Boris on the lardy wobbler front. But give him time.
