This was the week that was.
I've kind of been left open mouthed by a few things that have happened this week.
Firstly, apparently research (sponsored by huge multinational companies whose profits will drop if they have to become more environmentally friendly - spot the bias anyone?!) has 'shown' that global warming is supposedly a hoax. Now, I'm no scientist, but that's the hugest pile of cr*p I've heard all week... in fact, probably for a few years! Here's some questions based on a bit of research of my own:
* How come proper researchers found mountains under ice in Greenland?!
* And islands?! Hello, that is a lot of melting ice, in case no one noticed.
* Why is it raining all the time, with skiing holidays happening later, and mad scary winds blowing in the UK? Why was it really hot last summer?
... because the globe is warming, that's why! I don't get how this is meant to be a hoax?! It's insulting and dangerous to suggest otherwise.
And the other thing that left me open mouthed was that thing that's happening on TV that everyone's noticed even if they don't watch TV, unless they've spent the last week locked in a filing cabinet or something; yes, Celeb Big Brother's Racism/Culture and Class Clash Saga. Even Jack Straw's involved now! Jeesh. I'm so not surprised Carphone Warehouse withdrew their sponsorship. I'm also not surprised there were demos in India. What I am surprised about is how Shilpa manages to be so calm and avoid throwing anything... big up to Shilpa!
Frankly, Jade Goody makes me embarrassed to be British. Jade out! Shilpa for the cup!
...Mind out in the wind, please. And carry on recycling!
