Cody's Granddad Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 I was watching GMB as usual for about half an hour this morning before I go to work and they were having a go at Harry jumping on his mates Jet to go to somewhere. Not sure where I wasn't really listening that much but at the same time they send Andy Peters all over the globe week in week out to front some silly competition that you have almost no chance of winning. So how did he get to New York this week did he row there, how did he get to Thailand two or three times a year, how about Dubai and Australia did he cycle there. No, he flew there so before having a go at others for there choice of transport how about grounding Andy Peters and putting your money where your mouth is and actually practice what you preach GMB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrotequila Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 They were likely hoping you didn't notice that fact. Much like when documentaries do the same, jet all over the world and then sit there and go "this animal will soon be exctinct because of climate change, we must all stop creating CO2" 🤦♂️ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chekhov Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 (edited) In my experience environmentalists are often guilty of inconsistency, or even hypocrisy. Like protesting against HS2 when electrified rail travel is the most environmentally friendly form of medium distance travel. Or objecting to the Severn barrage when tidal power is the most reliable form of renewable energy because, apparently, the wading birds feeding grounds are more important than the "climate emergency". Both of these inconsistences can be explained by the fact that these zealots don't want us to live our current lives more sustainably. No, what they want is for us to change our lives completely, so called "behavioural change", i.e. doing less of what makes us happy.

The problem I have is when people like Harry and Meghan lecture the rest of us and don't apply any rules to themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMB hires Andy Peters who travels round the globe to promote that competition and the quote today was about Prince Harry jetting off to see his mates and yes I do agree with you about Harry and Meghan it still gets up my nose him being criticised by GMB who themselves are as bad as he is. How do you know Andy Peters doesn't go banging on about climate change if you don't know who he is.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna B Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 The world is full of hypocrisy, the same as it is full of unfairness and injustice. We're all guilty of it and part of the problem, so be aware... However, it is quite right to call it out when you see it in the hope that something might change, if enough people realise we all have to act together to change things. And that can only happen if everyone has the will to change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
