This will please the polluting motorists on this newsgroup, who will
now feel freer than ever to exercise their right to drive at high
speeds regardless of any consequences.

"All three main political parties are backsliding on their commitment
to "green" policies in the economic downturn, a coalition of nine
environmental groups warns today.

The annual audit by the groups, who have more than five million
supporters between them, says the parties will face a backlash from
voters unless they toughen their pledges to safeguard the environment.

The organisations, including Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace and WWF,
call for "far greater leadership, vision and courage than we have seen
from any of the three main parties in recent months". They add:
"Despite continuing green rhetoric, we've seen a retreat on this
agenda by politicians unwilling to advocate the crucial steps to
tackle climate change and other environmental problems for fear of
media criticism and electoral unpalatability."..."

No they are more likely to be using greenwash to disguise their
backsliding.

May I infer from your lack of response on the thread "The moment a
pensioner smashed his car through a supermarket" that you now admit
you were talking out of your anus on the subject of manslaughter,
Gollum?
