Crap Irony in Torygraph Ad

In today's Sunday Torygraph there is a full page advert for something called www.unlimited-spurt.org, which is a supposedly pro-flying pressure group. Clearly of course the ad and the website are put up and paid for by Friends of the Earth or some such group; the sheer hatred and contempt both show for ordinary people, linking them, with no attempt to make a proper, causation based argument, to the deaths of people in Africa, is breathtaking, but I suppose, no longer suprising. "Working-class Britons kill Africans" is the subtext, and it makes a good deal of sense, since the likes of George Moonbat and others have been arguing for ages that the great unwashed should not be flying around the world, while they have enjoyed their trips around the world a lot, thank you very much.

It is, needless to say, no problem for the environmentalists to jet around the world to their conferences, or, like Al Gore, to show rubbish films. After all, there's only a few of them, isn't there, and they're going for all the right reasons, compared to the millions of ignorant peasants who just want to go somewhere nice on holiday.
