Money…not a bother mate!

If there’s one person seemingly unconcerned about money, it seems to be our illustrious Environment Minister, Sammy Wilson. He has been the subject to environmentalists’ ire over his remarks about climate change.

This week Sammy said he was not be ‘exercised’ by his carbon footprint, as part of his ongoing disagreement with climate campaigners and scientists (some of whom he says do agree with him…).

But an extrapolation of what the Environment Minister has said is that he is not exercised about money…

After all, carbon footprints are partially the result of car and plane travel. As Sammy gets expenses for travelling to work at Stormont and flying to Westminster, the cash cost of him not being ‘exercised’ by his carbon footprint is borne by guess who…yep me and you! Or has Sammy decided that in light of the doom and gloom on the economic front not to claim for these expenses.
