GBM, that's a spoof from (
http://www.viz.co.uk/) viz magazine. They've done shitloads, and they're all awesome. The only real tragedy is that you can't actually buy them.
Did you not twig on reading the words 'Freddie Mercury Tribute Bum Clock'?
Oh yeah, excuse me. You did.

My word, people that aren't convinced in anthropomorphic climate change must feel very good that those other environmental problems don't exist either, considering the scientific case is more grounded in the literature for climate change than it is for them.
Because there's a lot more literature on climate change.
I also think part of the problem is that there are very few initiatives that actually do anything. The trend right now is that politicians are increasingly viewing climate change as little more than an opportunity to ramp up taxes while claiming that its for everyone's good.
That and its a lot easier for the "owner class" to whine about how everyone else is destroying the climate than to, say, stop dumping you factory's waste in the local stream.
That way you get to feel good about yourself without actually making any sacrifices.

but apparently I was confusing the government with the public.
I'm not sure you were, they're very interested in making stuff up about it a lot and using it as an excuse to tax things so they can steal more of our money.
If they cared about it then surely they'd be spending their time on things like proving to the people they want to do things that people are having a significant effect on it, that it's a bad thing and that we should really do something about it, rather than what they appear to me to be doing, running tv adverts saying that everyone should drive five miles less a week.
Probably the worst culprits in the UK for encouraging people not to care are the BBC. If every week you come up with some new terribly over exaggerated we're all doomed prediction that doesn't come true sooner or later everyone will stop listening.

They still accept a Monarchy as a valid form of government. What did you honestly expect?

Macha 1 - Britain 0.
Your move.

Yeah, the fact that we still have a royal family is a fucking piss-take, but for some obscure reason, people still cling to them as pillars of society.

It's a constitutional monarchy. Not the same thing.

Correct. As far as I know the queen is actually in charge of jack and shit these days.
