Our colleagues have been leaked information from a meeting in Bali tonight – the US is trying to destroy international efforts to tackle climate change. They are trying to insert text into the Kyoto Protocol that would make emissions cuts voluntary – as opposed to the current mandatory cuts.

The proposed US text includes the words ‘as appropriate’ and ‘may’ in reference to emissions cuts and is being presented to a meeting of the Friends of the President in Bali tonight. Here it is:

I got the train from Paddington to Hays and Harlington Station on Wednesday, and then the 140 bus to the corner of Harlington High Street and Sipson Lane. A nice fellow I met on the bus showed me some of the alternative entrances I could use if the main entrance is blocked, and then we strolled down Sipson Lane to the main entrance.

I wasn’t planning to do anything which would require evidence to be seized, but what with our heightened state of something-or-other, I thought it was best not to take any chances. I was gutted when no-one searched me.
