Wry British Quip Of The Day

From Eamonn Butler, director of London's Adam Smith Institute:

I gave talks this week in Moscow and Oxford, which of course are quite different places – Oxford still has communists. 

In Moscow it was -19C, though the locals seem to manage perfectly well. Made me think that adapting to a +2C rise in global temperatures over the next 100 years won't really make us break sweat. 

I see that more snow is forecast for the UK, and I do hope it hits Westminster – I reckon that every day the government is shut down saves us all about £10bn. But I digress...


Grin!
