The Telegraph is read by the people who think that they run the
country.

Worse, much worse, the Telegraph is read by the people who do run the
country.

No, they read the Financial Times. Or the Scotsman :-)

Really, these days I thought they read the washington post.
...Thinks for a moment...

Actually the person that runs the country probably reads noddy and big ears go
fishing.

big ears *goes* fishing shirley?

I think they can read fine, It seems to be the arithmetic that's causing
them grief.

Try comparing the recent government press release about the report of
House of Lords sub-committee on pensions and the actual contents of
the report

The fact that nature wakes up earlier and earlier in the year is not
because
spring arrives earlier, but a consquence of overall global warming.

There is a natural progression with a period of 18000 years if I remember
correctly, caused by a wobble in the earths rotation which mean that the
seasons really are slowly shifting.

But the equinox has been on 21-22 March since before I was born, and I have
witnessed the growth of the warming in my lifetime.

This weeks email from the Gardening Telegraph is particularly
interesting as it deals at length with climatic change. I have copied
part of their email below to give a flavour of their weekly
contribution.

The Telegraph prints misleading information.

They always print the times of sunrise and sunset, and the
lighting up times are, according to the Telegraph, the same,
but those of us who can think know that there is half an hour
difference between those times.

Well, Alan, I can think, and yet I know that the Road Vehicles Lighting
Regulations 1989 require you to light up your car between sunset and
sunrise, so The Telegraph is correct in this respect.
