Emma’s eco nonsense

FRESH from jetting 5,400 miles to join the climate change circus (leaving a three-ton carbon footprint), Dame Emma Thompson has held forth on school dinners.

In bizarre TV rants, the patronising luvvie insisted schools in ‘Dickensian’ Britain deliberately broke water fountains so pupils spent lunch money on bottled water – leaving them hungry. Her claim can be taken with a giant pinch of salt. Schools have taps and it’s illegal to deny pupils a drink.

Tellingly, Dame Emma is – like many welloff liberals – a Corbynista. And what’s the harm in a bit of exaggeration while flying the socialist flag? But surely the public deserves better than supine interviewers treating her every utterance as holy writ.
