Hypocritical Clegg Off To Davos
[Nick Clegg] I passionately believe that climate change is one of the greatest problems we face today.
...I am installing energy saving light bulbs throughout my home and I try to use public transport as far as possible. I recycle recyclable waste at home, try to cut down on the unnecessary use of paper in the office, and unplug all unused electrical appliances. Energy consumption will certainly be a far greater consideration next time I look to purchase a new car or household appliances such as a fridge or kettle. I am also looking into switching to more environmentally responsible gas and electricity suppliers.

Today, however, the Daily Mirror report that Cleggy is flying off with his family to Davos, for a holiday at his parents’ 20 room chalet.
Yes, Nick, that will really help tackle climate change!
