Red + Green = Black or Brown?

Brown’s environmental friendly policies will endear him to the Brits

So what Brownie with vanillashade does the British Prime Minster-to-be Gordon Brown prefer? He was born brown but reared red (left predilections and Scottish connections made his favourite colour to be Red). The pragmatic Brown (under Blair’s New labour) has come to understand that these days blood red hardly sells. Therefore, Gordon has turned ‘green’ making it his natural choice, especially when ‘green talk’ is expected to top the charts among the public in the 2009 parliamentary elections. Desperately trying to be politically correct Gordon Brown is busy selling the idea of ‘count the carbon as well as the pennies’. According to Brown, if the public were to insulate their homes better and carry out environmental changes in their immediate surroundings, they would be in a position to save £5 a week and in turn help UK to bring down its carbon output by five million tonnes.

Putting the ‘green’ issue at the heart of his battle to win vote banks, Gordon has pledged to build ‘eco-towns’ solving both ecological concerns as well as demands for affordable housing. “Unlike President Bush, Gordon Brown is erudite and intelligent enough to understand the nuances of climate change and its impact on sustainable development. It would be harsh on Brown, if one were to ascribe all his domestic initiatives aimed at improving the climate on political expediency,” said Pervaiz Alam a former BBC World Service senior journalist, while speaking to B&E from London. And it is indeed his understanding of the implications of ignoring the climate change that is driving him in various international meets to harp upon doing something concrete about the renewable energy sources. We only hope Mr. Brown, you will continue to stick to green and not be a chameleon, once ensconced in the PM’s chair.
