Nick Robinson trying to defend the BBC's coverage of BREXIT and their scaremongering, on the basis of reporting the opinions of experts.

He fails to mention how wrong the BBC's selection of experts has been proved for over 2 years.

The BBC is starting to report "difficulties" with negotiating with the EU, as experienced by May. Is this because the BBC would tather have May as Conservative Prime Minister, than Boris or Jacob?

stewgreen & Tiny, Paul Homewood is onto it:

This is his comment:

"As I pointed out previously, Shorrock won’t be the ones who loses out. As Private Eye has reported this week, Shorrock paid just £70 for 25% of the project. Meanwhile he has raked in millions in “service fees”.

The rest of the investors in TLP look likely to kiss goodbye to some £35m."

"The head of the UN body that leads on sustainability and green issues has been criticised for extensive and expensive air travel."

TBH, it would probably be better for all of us if Solheim spent 365 days a year travelling on first class jet flights, and no time at all in the office.

From U.K. police more interested in “hate non-crime” than in actual rapes and murders (no really!) to nonsense “man has baby” headlines in conservative newspapers, James Delingpole explains on this week’s episode of Delingpole how all our institutions are caving to deranged leftist lunacy.

James and his special guest, Talk Radio presenter Julia Hartley-Brewer, are determined to resist this nonsense to the bitter end.

Googling Erik Solheim reveals how he has led the Norway and the United Nations when it comes to Green Hypocrisy.

"Erik Solheim (born 18 January 1955 in Oslo, Norway) is a Norwegian diplomat and former politician, and the current Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme.[1]"

"Diplomat. Solheim was formerly a politician for the Socialist Left Party (SV); he led its youth branch, the Socialist Youth, from 1977 to 1981, was party secretary from 1981 to 1985, and served as a member of the Parliament of Norway from 1989 to 2001. He was leader of his party from 1987 to 1997. Solheim later expressed his support for the centrist Green Party and was active as a strategic adviser for the party during the 2015 elections.[2][3]"

"Mr. Solheim is currently Chair of the Development Assistance Committee of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, a post he has held since 2013, and is serving as UNEP’s Special Envoy for environment, conflict and disaster. Known as the 'green' politician, he held the combined portfolio of Norway’s Minister of the Environment and International Development from 2007 to 2012, and served as Minister of International Development from 2005 to 2007."

"Having spent most of his career fighting for the environment in national and Global politics, including through non-governmental organizations and during his combined ministerial portfolio, Mr. Solheim has focussed on the challenge of integrating environmental and developmental issues."

From UN Page about Solheim, this:
★Did you know? Every dollar spent restoring degraded forests can result in $30 in economic benefits.★

So if the UN had spent Solheim's $488,000 on restoring forests, instead of aviation fuel, the economic benefit would have been over $14.5million

When Delegates from around the World gather in Katowice for COP 24 with empty suitcases awaiting their stuffing with other people's hard earned cash, eyes will turn to Solheim. He may be in the Maldives of course.

"A draft internal audit, obtained by the Guardian and seen by the BBC, says that Erik Solheim's actions risked the reputation of UN Environment.
The report says he incurred costs of $488,518 (£373,557) while travelling for 529 out of 668 days."

I expect the draft internal audit will be adjusted, to take into account the natural variability of exchange rates, avoid double counting days spent either side of the International Date Line (quadrupled for weekends from 1201hrs Friday to 1150hrs Monday) and of course rest and recovery of 24 hours before and after every trip to the airport.

Where were the people who didn't notice he wasn't in the office?

An Erik Solheim tweet on 20th September 2018:

"Climate action begins at home. So true!"

Indeed, Erik.
