It's all over bar the shouting in Copenhagen. Nothing has been achieved that we were promised would be achieved. Realistically there was never any chance of progress on controlling climate change or alleviating its effects on the planet. The one good thing to come out of it is most of the "climate change science" on which the case for the crooked carbon trading system devised by Al Gore and Ken Lay, former CEO of Enron, was exposed as bogus and fraudulent. Ken Ley, for those who do not follow business news was the man behind one of the biggest corporate frauds ever. The science in this case responsible for making the case that climate change was "anthropogenic" or man made, the result entirely of human activity since the beginning of the industrial revolution was an example of that well known scientific technique known as fudging the data until it provides the answer the man with the money wanted.

The lies remain however. It is the lies and the loss of trust between the public and the financial institutions, political organisations and the academic community that will in the long run do far more damage that climate change is ever likely to.

Politicians tell lies; its not big news, just part of what politics is about. We all tell lies. “I had to work late darling,” “It was a bargain, reduced in the sale,” “the cheque is in the post,” “of course I love you,” “no your bum doesn't’ look big in it, its perfect.” Little white lies intended to keep us out of trouble or spare peoples’ feelings. Politicians little white lies can turn into big purple lies though. “I did not have sex with that woman,”

Now there is a new colour of lie, big Brown lies. A big Brown lie is about promising one thing and doing the opposite. And then denying there is a contradiction.

“We must reduce carbon emissions by 50% over the next thirty years.”
“If Heathrow Airport in not expanded British businesses will not be able to compete.”

No contradiction there of course, a new generation of emission free jets could be just around the corner.

The UK is better placed to rde out the recession than other developed nations.
The record Public Sector Borrowing Requirement is not our fault.

“This government will put the welfare of workers foremost.”
“We must relieve business of the burden of health and safety restrictions.”

"We must reduce NHS costs.
"You all, each and every one of you, have to have expensive "swine flu" vaccinations to protect against a disease invented by vaccine manufacturers that will kill millions if you do not obey...obey...obey.

“To enjoy the benefits of citizenship people must accept the responsibilities that go with it.”
“We must not drive away the wealth creators with heavy taxes.”

OK, so if someone is rich enough to qualify for non-domiciled status, tax is voluntary. Yeah, right, we get it.

Then there was the loony plan to force the return to the workplace of severely disabled people like me and bendygirl, author of the excellent “benefit scrounging scum” blog (guaranteed to attract Daily Mail Readers and give them a glimpse of what it is like to be disabled in the bureaucratic dictatorship that is 21st century Britain.)

The draft of this plan proposes people who can walk two hundred yards or get around in a wheelchair and can use a computer can hold down a job. Well I can walk two hundred yards. Then not so far the next time. Then the third time my brain starts to shut down. Its not a stereotypical after effect of strokes, but people who have had strokes tend to differ so widely. I would love to be able to work but were I to do so my quality of life would disappear. Still I would be a productive economic unit.

The latest in a long series of Big Brown Lies has been the fear and panic over climate change. Think back to how the case was made for the Copenhagen Climate Summit being humankinds last chance to save the planet. There was a lot of fear and panic spread about how the ecosphere would collapse if we did not listen to the politicians, businessmen who aim to profit from catastrophe capitalism and their hireling scientists who equations can be rigged to support any case required.

So in this atmosphere of living in a place totally removed from reality the politicians surveyed the wreckage of their beloved globalisation project and decided they needed some climate change science to spread fear and panic and help them divert attention from their failure and incompetence.

So off trooped the world leaders for a big, expensive jolly in Copenhagen, ostensibly to find a way of dealing with the threats posed by climate chance but really to work out a way of developing a system of global financial governance and implementing new carbon and environment taxes to pay for the insane levels of government spending that have been incurred in transferring the provision of public services from direct labour departments to outsourcing through private companies.

In other words the whole Copenhagen climate change jamboree was a giant stitch up. We hear about taxes on fuel for our cars and domestic heating but none on aircraft fuels, nothing must impede the ability of the rich to fly round the world on a whim.

The Prime Minister does not care about fairness or justice, only about getting reelected. So in the future, even though Brown has been voted out of office, you can expect the big Brown lies and their consequences to affect your daily life.
