C of Environment

The General synod of the Church of England is to debate environmental matters somewhere between 14 and 17 February. The motion recommends not only that churches do more to reduce GW gas emissions but that the church as a whole presses for the contract and converge policy which seems the most positive of the things it might do. The problem is that it is a 'motherhood and apple pie' motion; ie most people will agree, pass it becasue it is so obviously wholesome and then do nothing more about it .... perhaps I'm cynical but a similar Bradford diocesan motion a couple of years or so back had just that effect: ie it's policy but no-one does anything about it really, very much.

"Spend and tax" not "tax and spend"

 I got a response from my MP which got me kind of mad. You'll see why as I reproduce it here. Apologies for the strange changes in types...
