The 'climate change' scammers
There is something about the scenes emerging from Cop26 that seems to encapsulate the insanity, vanity and general vacuousness of the modern world perfectly.
It's a carousel of self-obsessed, bombastic, virtue-signalling hypocrites, from Sleepy Joe Biden snoozing on the job while his fleet of gas-guzzling limousines sit with engines idling out the back, to Nicola Sturgeon ambushing Sir David Attenborough for a selfie.
Then there's Greta Thunberg throwing her toys out of her pram (by the way, Greta, your dismissal of world leaders' 'blah blah blah' on green issues was only quite funny the first time; now it's just annoying) to Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, spouting unutterable nonsense about Nazis.
Add to these the billionaires, most notably Jeff Bezos, fresh from his mate Bill Gates's 66th birthday party in Turkey, where guests were shuttled from superyacht to beach club by helicopter.
I don't know about you, but the sight of a man who has made an obscene fortune from selling mass-produced rubbish made in China (responsible for 27 per cent of global carbon emissions) lecturing us all about doing our bit to stop global warming is, to put it mildly, a bit rich.
For an event designed to draw attention to the plight of the planet and those already suffering the effects of climate change, all Cop26 seems to have done so far is remind us how spectacularly out of touch so many of the so-called great and good really are.

Vine did like the Queen's appearance, but her criticism of the rich hypocrites is spot on. For them, it looks like a PR move to get the left to leave them alone for a while. I am skeptical of much of the climate change movement. They have a history of being serially wrong in their predictions of doom and gloom.
