Monbiot speaks [some] truth???
Discussion
It's an article in a paper I don't like, by a journalist who is a cock. But at least there is some reasonable ranting about that most odious of New Labours creatures: Hazel Blears.
Of course, said cock has to put in some waffle about global warming etc, but ignoring that its almost a reasonable read (not sure I can believe I said that). I do particularly loathe Blears though, so maybe its clouding my judgement.

I don't know who this Monbiot guy is buthe makes a good point.
If you knew I'm sure you would feel an overwhelming urge to kick him in the face.
So it's best for you, and your blood pressure, that you don't. Ignorance is bliss.

Have seen comments against him. Never really been that bothered to find out why. Figured he's a tosser of some sort. The article referenced here, however, is superb. It made me curious.
I have been on here for 10 years. Just didn't post earlier.

Yes, but they are not speaking up! 
This Monbiot guy, does he want all cars banned or what?
He would basically want all car drivers flung in a pit of boiling water while their families watch. Also if you even think about earning a lot of money and don't give it all to the poor people he would expect you to be torn apart by wild horses and your cash distributed around to the poor people.This Monbiot guy, does he want all cars banned or what?
Basically.
He was also a supporter of carbon allownces where if you have more money and want to enjoy that money, i.e go on holiday, have a nice car you would have to buy some carbon allowances off a poor person, since it's basically your fault for being successful and wealthy that they aren't.

If you want another reason to hate this Monbiot man is he set up the TLIO Political Movement (This Land is Ours) - http://www.tlio.org.uk/ - which as you can see gives lots of helpful advice to the great unwashed about squatters rights and land invasion protests.

Why doesn't someone shoot him and put him out of his misery? What a complete tw4t.
They did...They missed...
Fools...
During seven years of investigative journeys in Indonesia, Brazil and East Africa, he was shot at, beaten up by military police, shipwrecked and stung into a poisoned coma by hornets. He came back to work in Britain after being pronounced clinically dead in Lodwar General Hospital in north-western Kenya, having contracted cerebral malaria.
In Britain, he joined the roads protest movement. He was hospitalised by security guards, who drove a metal spike through his foot, smashing the middle bone.
If anybody else is ignorant of the pointlessness of George Monbiot, here is some information...
