From the I smell bacon department and Josh: Tim Yeo’s fall. For those who don’t know, he is an MP and Chairman of the UK Energy and Climate Change Select Committee.
Front page in The Sunday Times today and, of course, much reported here, here, here, here and here on BishopHill.

Anthony, Yeo is an MP, in Westminster, not an MEP
REPLY: Typo fixed, thanks – A
It is time people threw all three mainstream parties out and started again with Independents, UKIP and other fringe parties.
Can’t be any worse than what we have right now, or not much.
Err… Tim Yeo is a Member of the UK House of Commons, known as Member of Parliament or MP. MEP stands for Member of the European Parliament and to the best of my knowledge, Mr. Yeo is not a Member. If he had of been, in that whited Sepulchre where the bones of democratic process lie bleaching in the sun, his shenanigans would have caused little or no comment.
I have heard he changed his name to Chris P Bacon…
grumpyoldmanuk has it right about Yeo being an MP….
Reblogged this on Climate Ponderings.
Time for a quick chorus of “Yeo, heave-ho!”, or would that sound a bit vulgar?
Hmm… In any ethical era, someone doing this would be sacked. If it were done in a government setting, I would count it as corruption and have him jailed.
But unfortunately, nowadays, ethics is a county to the north-east of London. (Joke for UK readers only…)
Best, Thread, Title. EVAH!!!!
Yes what a shocker.
Who knew?
I bet Deben set him up!
Didn’t Cameron just get over the scandal of the Rupert Murdock journalist advisor who was hacking personal emails for fodder to feed their newspaper.

Are you telling us that Essex has ethics? 😊 – From Canuck Land.
Lord Deben (John Selwyn Beefburger) and Tim ‘Trougher’ Yeo having a catfight.
Get your peanuts here. Luvverly peanuts!
Watch the struggle to the death. See two of the UK’s leading green promoters see who can get to rock bottom first. Thrill as they bring their dodgy friends down faster than you can say ‘Timber’ to a windmill assaulted with Semtex. Be amazed that two so slimy could ever have climbed the slippery pole. Chilll with the rest as the UK’s lights go out as fast than their reputations plummet. Turmoil in high places as Climate Change Committee selfdestructs. Cheer for the Good Guys as the sceptic army disarms the greenists in blog-by-blog fighting.
Peanuts, luvverly peanuts! Get your peanuts here…..
Yeo is not an MEP (Member of European Parliament), he is an MP (Member of British Parliament).
He is also a very dodgy geezer and should really be banged up for a long time.
7K a day, thats a lot of bacon
The UK’s Energy Bill passed last Tuesday had a last-minute amendment (which was passed), which rfead as follows: “The Secretary of State must within 12 months of the passing of this Act publish a strategy setting out policies to achieve a reduction in demand for electricity of at least 103 TWh by 2020 and 154 TWh by 2030.”
That’s a 40% reduction in electricity usage. Apparently the Government is assuming that their green power policy will result in the lights going out. It’d be quite funny in a Gilbert & Sullivan opera. But me, I’m a little scared. The real problem is that the other shower are just as bad.
Tim Yeo has been blowing hot and cold. He cares not for co2 or temperature but his own pockets. He is a ‘green’ Conservative MP. Most MPs at Westminster are actually in it just for the money.
Yeo must step down to minimize disgracing his family and friends any further.

Haven’t you heard of ethics, man?
Yes. It’s a county near London….
Thank you, thank you… I’ll be here all week…
@ur momisugly Dodgy Geezer & Wayne Delbeke –
The University of East Anglia is northeast of London, yes? Rotsa ruck finding ethics there.
As an Englishman, I am delighted to see a pure piece of scum be downed. I give his political career another three days (unless he has something on “Call Me Dave” of course).

This significant amendment has slipped under the radar. To date (apart from Booker) the MSM have been very quiet about this and the implications for the consumer. Has any consumer any idea as to how they will cut their consumption by between 25% to 40% and what life will be like if they are forced to do so (in this regard smart metres are being phased in and they have the potential to ration use). A very frightening development.
Hey Josh. In the pig porker cartoon the PIG is too Hansom compared to Trough master Tin Yeo. –
Great cartoon and revelation, the warmist house of cards is Blowin in the wind!
Here’s the thing. Tim Yeo, and several other members of parliament (MP) have yet again been caught in a sting; set up by a national newspaper and Television programme. When people come to you and say “hey – here’s a thousand pounds (cash) can you ask a couple of questions for me in the house?…can you advise on the parliamentary sub committe in from whom I shall be apearing..?.” Then after the MP’s expenses saga they would think…”hang on, this bloke could be a journalist trying to stitch me up” If they can’t work that one out, how can they run the country?
Apparently the amendment by Caroline Lucas (Green Party) was not included… http://www.eureferendum.com/blogview.aspx?blogno=84017
