Britain's Independence Party Wants to Ban Gore's Film from Schools By Noel Sheppard Created 02/25/2010 - 11:13

The Independence Party in Great Britain wants to ban Nobel Laureate Al Gore's fact-challenged schlockumentary "An Inconvenient Truth" from being shown in schools.

The British Telegraph reported [1] Thursday:

Following a number of scandals around the science of climate change, UKIP are promising to launch a Royal Commission led by a High Court judge to investigate whether global warming is man-made.

Wait. It gets better:

Pending the results of the commission, the party, that has no MPs at the moment, have promised to build new fossil-fuelled power stations to meet energy demands and scrap subsidies for wind farms. Global warming 'propaganda' like the Al Gore film Inconvenient Truth will be banned in schools and public authorities will not be allowed to spend money on climate change initiatives.

Yikes.

Can you imagine an American political Party taking such a position, and how our press would go absolutely apoplectic?

An Inconvenient Truth would have been way better if there were more teenage vampires in it.

If there were any justice, Algore would be bankrupted and forced to live in Alaska.

My suggestion would be Tierra del Feugo. He could see Antartica from there.

I’d love to see ALGORE and all his minions taken away in shackles and all monies returned to snooked investors.
