Copenhagen has
collapsed on it's arse. Which means all that is left is for the leaders to cobble together a moth ridden scabby "deal" which they can announce as a historic success.
Aides to each national leader will then brief the press and hint that their man or woman was responsible for banging heads together and securing agreement.
We will all then have to sit through days and days where Gordon Brown and his Ministers desperately pick over the same stock words in a seeming contest to construct the most schmaltzy sentence. Thus to make things more interesting I’ve constructed a simple bullshit-bingo style card game scored as follows (Aces high)
Ace Christmas
King Peace
Queen The people have spoken
Jack The world has come together
10 Future Generations
9 Hope
8 Freedom From Extreme Weather
7 Global Grand Bargain
6 Bangladesh
5 Children
4 Developing Countries
3 Historic
2 Deal
1 Future
Personally my money is on Ed Balls to hit the full Christmas Payload with a mind numbing statement like this:
“This is a historic deal for all of us, for freedom from extreme weather and for all our children. This global grand bargain gives future generations a chance, the little girl in Bangladesh or the boy in Brazil can sleep safely knowing that Western Countries are working in a partnership of fairness with developing countries. The people have spoken. This Christmas the world has come together for hope, peace and the future.”
