Environment Minister Ian Pearson - never heard of him - has gone off message. He described the airline Ryanair as, "... not just the unacceptable face of capitalism, they are the irresponsible face of capitalism". Back to New Labour School for you, Sonny. Capitalism doesn't have an unacceptable face, capitalism doesn't have a duty of responsibility. "A corporation cannot be ethical; it's only responsibility is to turn a profit." Thus the late, unlamented Milton Friedmann. So if Ryanair is turning a profit it's acting responsibly. Thatcher thought old Milt the canine's cobblers, and Blair, as we know, is "the bastard son of Margaret Thatcher" (Class War), well, her heir and adulator anyway.
We can expect a correction as soon as Tone gets back in front of the cameras. Blair and Brown are the one's who talk about climate change. Pearson's job is to be the whipping boy when New Labour are exposed as liars and hypocrites - once again. In the meantime he should be telling the menu peuple, people like me, to switch off the standby on our tellies, and not flush the lav when we've had a piss. That's New Labour's strategy for saving the planet.
