The Welsh singer Charlotte Church is trying to reinvent herself as a political pundit, and is certainly doing rather well on the PR front. Last night she managed to get herself on Question Time. Unfortunately I don't think her appearance will have done much for her political aspirations, but she certainly did the whole "slightly flaky showbiz person" thing pretty well, in particular repeating the old canard about the Syrian crisis being something to do with climate change, accompanied by lots of frowning to show how serious she was.
The Twitterati, like the studio audience, seem to have been deeply unimpressed, so Ms Church leapt into action to defend herself:
and the people who dismiss my points out of hand, go do some research- come back to me and we'll have a conversation about "the real world"

Unfortunately for her, I have already done so, and we know that the claim is utter bunk.
