Blair defends long-haul holidays

Advertisements [?]

9 January 2007

Tony Blair has said he will not give up long-haul holiday flights - and said a green agenda should not lead to people feeling they cannot have a "good time".

The prime minister, just back from Florida, told Sky News science could allow responsible economic growth.

He warned against "putting people off the green agenda by saying you must not have a good time anymore".

Greenpeace said he should be setting an example, while Friends of the Earth called his comments "disappointing".

So it's all about your own good time, hey Tony? What a selfish twit.
