sounds like a genuine oversight by george, similar to the one where he tried to bunk his train fare.

No it was definitely not right but surely there are more important things to make a big fuss about.

Jeremy Grantham, environmental philanthropist: 'We're trying to buy time for the world
to wake up'
You've probably never heard of him, and for years Jeremy Grantham liked it that way
. But now the man who made billions by predicting every recent financial crisis is speaking out
'Anyone who says government can't do this, or can't do that, I say a pox on you' ...

One icy morning in February, a train pulled into Washington DC. It was loaded with
environmentalists planning to handcuff themselves to the gates of the White House,
in protest at the building of a 3,500km oil pipeline from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico
. Amid the hundreds of placard-carrying protesters stood a somewhat incongruous
figure in a suit - Jeremy Grantham, a 74-year-old fund manager. "What we are trying to do
is buy time," he told reporters. "Buy time for the world to wake up."
Grantham - who occupies a legendary place in the world of finance for predicting all the
major stock market bubbles of recent decades (and doing very well in the process) -
had decided, after 15 years of low-key environmental philanthropy, to, as he puts it, "walk the walk".
Grantham, co-founder and chief strategist of GMO, a Boston-based global investment group,
manages $106bn (£69bn) of assets on behalf of 1,000 institutional investors, and employs
600 people, so he decided that the fallout would be too great. He was forced to stand
back and watch as his daughter Isabel got arrested, alongside the actor Daryl Hannah,
the US's highest-profile environmentalist Bill McKibben, and Nasa climate scientist
James Hansen.
So he is speaking out instead. From where he stands, this bubble, the "carbon bubble"
is the biggest he's seen. "We're already in a bad place. The worst accidents are [only]
20, 30, 40 years from now." Such apocalyptic talk is often the preserve of deep-green
doom-mongers - the kind of talk that has led many to reject environmentalism.
But Grantham insists he's guided "by the facts alone". On some issues (immigration
and education) he "would be considered rightwing", but with the environment, he says
he calls it as he sees it. He is disdainful of those who ignore the data, or worse, misinform the public.

Another error of judgement ?
David Cameron propels Boris Johnson's brother into Downing Street role
Prime Minister gives London Mayor's younger brother Jo senior government job as his head of policy
The Prime Minister has parachuted Boris Johnson's younger brother into a senior government role
in a move widely seen as attempting to reinvigorate the party and appease backbench critics.
Jo Johnson will be appointed as Cabinet Office minister later today, Downing Street confirmed.
His core remit will be to head up the Downing Street policy unit which until now has been presided
over by a civil servant.
Sources suggest he will be expected to sharpen Tory strategy ahead of the next election and
try and claw back support from party malcontents.
Later today Mr Cameron is expected to announce a new Conservative parliamentary advisory board
. They will include Jesse Norman, who led the rebellion over House of Lords reform, Mr Cameron's
former press secretary George Eustice, Peter Lilley, who was social security secretary under
John Major, former schools minister Nick Gibb, Jane Ellison and Paul Uppal.
But it is the appointment of the brother of the London Mayor that is likely to elicit surprise, as well
as criticism from some quarters. The MP for Orpington remains a largely unknown entity inside
senior government, having only entered parliament in 2010.
