Whats with the Age of Stupid / Ed Miliband love-in?

0

We first met the UK’s Climate Change Minister, Ed Miliband, at The Age of Stupid premiere in March 2009, when we ambushed him with a giant pledge – http://www.ageofstupid.net/news/peoples_premiere_not_stupid – which helped persuade him to change his coal policy less than a month later. Frankly, we thought that would be the last time we saw the likes of him, but then his office called up and challenged Stupid director Franny Armstrong to a public debate. Since then, Ed and Franny have been trading blows in public every few weeks. This is the scoreboard as it stands on 12th October 2009. – Round 1: Age of Stupid premiere. Pete P ambushes Ed. Victor: FRANNY (technically PETE P) http://www.ageofstupid.net/premiere – Round 2: Tricycle Theatre debate. Franny suggests 10:10 and Ed says blocking windfarms should be “socially unacceptable”. Victor: TIE http://www.ageofstupid.net/node/2762 – Round 3: Hay Festival debate. Franny goes for the jugular on flying. Victor: FRANNY http://notstupid.org/
