This week world leaders sat down to a seven course meal to discuss the world food shortage. Robert Mugabwe turned up and was quite rightly branded a hypocrit because he is currently starving a large percentage of the population of his country.
But what about gormless Gordon and the other EU leaders? They all agreed to a piece of legislation meaning that every country in the EU has to add 2.5% biofuel to their petrol and diesel.
Because of this ruling wheat growers all over the world are now selling their crops to be used as fuel rather than as food. This has created a world wide shortage, pushed the prive of wheat up and as a result has left millions of people all over the world with not enough food.
Unless this legislation is dumped immediately then gormless Gordon and the elected leaders of the other EU countries will be responsible for killing far more people than Mugabwe has.

Even Friends of the Earth are upset!
Even Friends of the Earth are upset with the latest EU directive that makes us have biofuel in our petrol and diesel from today.
“Most people will be horrified to know the Government is putting biofuels in our petrol when the damage they do to forests could make climate change worse,” said Friends of the Earth biofuels campaigner, Kenneth Richter. “People want to see real green transport solutions that will make a difference to their lives - like better public transport and smarter cars that burn less fuel,” he added.
Now if even the tree huggers agree that this can only harm the planet then why have the EU pushed this through? I would love to know how many of the European MP's who voted it through have shares in biofuel producing companies.

Forced to kill.
Up until today if you drive a car you may or may not have been harming the planet and promototing global warming. It really depends on who you believe, the majority of scientists who claim global warming is a myth or the minority who have a vested interest in claiming it is true to keep their funding and their cushy jobs. However your choice of fuel was very much a matter of personal preference and economics. From today that choice has been taken away from you.
A new EU ruling means that from today every gallon of fuel you buy has, by law, had at least 2.5% biofuel added. To make this biofuel rain forests are being cut down and grain planted in their place, the price of grain worldwide has gone through the roof and because the grain is being used as fuel instead of food people are starving to death worldwide.
All this so the tree huggers can feel good about themselves and politicians can carry on using saving the planet as an excuse to raise taxes. It is a complete disgrace and amounts to little more tham mass murder that anyone who drives a car has no choice but to take part in.
The EU, our inept government and the idiot greenies and tree huggers should be ashamed of themselves. As should anyone who supports them.
Vote Labour or Green and you kill a child in Africa or Asia. It is that simple.
