Mr Cameron has highlighted the environment, and in particular climate change, as a key area of concern.
He launched the policy review group at the London Wetland Centre where he will meet members of Friends of the Earth and Greenpeace. Zac Goldsmith, founder of the Ecologist magazine, will work alongside Mr Gummer, meeting environmental groups to discuss policy proposals.

Looks like I'll be joining the swelling ranks of - "there's nobody to vote for, so I'm not voting"
I have to say that job in the States is looking ever more attractive.

I appreciate the alternatives may not be pleasant, or that they may not do any better, but that SAF does not mean that NL therefore doing a good job or should not be held accountable. We need a major polictical reform in this country.

I don't have "a side" I said they are ALL a pile of ****e and we need a major politcal reform to shake the whole damn mess up and maybe then we may get representation of the people rather than a bunch of self serving sycophants

Sounds like sour grapes to me.
What sort of reform did you have in mind? Proportional representation?
I could buy that. Danger is you end up with a coalition full of compromises and even less action...

The only 'principle' that applies to my argument is the principle of being able to live a life that isn't controlled by the ever watchfull eye of the politically correct thought police. Strange how those who are most vocal in these arguments are always the ones who have already 'got out'. Home sick or something?

Sadly it looks like the 'new' tories clearly won't be able to deliver this, so it's time to make other arrangements.
I know you can't really believe this.
