PANORAMIC

what do these three things have in common?
1) a domestic wind turbine
2) a photo opportunity in the arctic
3) a bike ride to work through the london rush-hour
accompanied by a chauffeur...
that's right
david cameraman
young tory pretender to the crown

flaunting his supposed green credentials

dave take a bow...
today in a downtown cafe
it is mr cameraman i am here to discuss
or rather the possibility of your fave blogger
taking part in a tv interview with the would-be pm
to quiz him on matters eco
over a gigantic americano

patrick the producer asks me for my take on our man
which is it?
genuine commitment to the welfare of the planet
or convenient rebranding?
green to the core
or greenwash?
i say that i'm afraid dc is optional add-on

rather than core business model

(it's the economy stupid!)

p spews out questions
often answering them himself
as if articulating an internal dialogue
but i learn nothing of his ideas about the programme
after half an hour or so of q & a
he takes a phonecall
it's friday evening
and someone wants him back in londinium
pronto
he asks to be excused
the train to marylebone awaits
he says he will be in touch next week
am i the man he's looking for?
i'm left none the wiser...
