Brown, the Green Caped Crusader

Gordon Brown the eco-warrior might swing the green vote his way - Telegraph

Not since the emergence of Swampy, the Newbury bypass tunneller, has Britain produced a doughtier eco-warrior than Mr Brown. His garden boasts a wormery and compost bins, his computer is never left on stand-by, and No 10's feuds and furores are illuminated by low-energy light bulbs.
It is, however, on the international stage that Mr Brown is most effective. In the "climate emergency", he has discovered another epochal event, like the recession, that plays to his penchant for car-wreck politics. The PM is a catastrophile in the sense that he is suited, by temperament and intellect, to tackling global disaster.
...In key marginals, the semi-greens may vote for the mainstream party with the best environment policy. On current indicators, that will not be Mr Cameron, who is losing the support of the powerful NGOs once persuaded by his green agenda and now swinging back to Mr Brown.

I don't know what she is on, but it must have been a hell of a weekend and I'll have some as well please.
