How to Get to Vestas - go there now!

22-09-2009 21:21

No doubt there, he is loyal to his real employers. But the position of the BBC is some what difficult to comprehend. Why on the polluted earth want the BBC to promote the exceedingly climate dangerous viewpoints and positions of JM? In other relations the BBC appears as a public service organisation that is intelli-gent and understands the danger of human driven emissions etc.
