8:04 pm
running conditioning running the air conditioning just kidding. a festival of just kidding. it's a festival of hypocrisy. they're staying in five star hotels and ordering lobster and massage charges on room service, living it up all at the taxpayers expense and emitting lots of carbon while patting themselves on the back for inventing new taxes to keep us in poverty. king charles is there pontificating on how to reduce our carbon . why don't you reduce our carbon. why don't you be low carbon king charles you literally live in a palace. you have a private jet and a royal yacht. why don't you move into a one bedroom flat in peckham and get the bus and then you can lecture us on our emissions? bnng lecture us on our emissions? bring your carbon footprint down to level before you wag your to my level before you wag your finger at me. all these smug luvvies that lecturers emma thompson, leonardo dicaprio , thompson, leonardo dicaprio, bill gates have vastly bigger carbon footprints than us. but they still want to stop us flying to lanzarote once a year so they can still take a helicopter to glastonbury this week. olivia colman brought out a film of her dressed in latex to encourage pension funds not
8:05 pm
to encourage pension funds not to invest in oil, and if they keep doing it, she's going to release more footage. the luvvies don't just want our pensioners to be cold, they want them to be destitute. cop 20 is them to be destitute. cop 20 is the biggest climate conference yet. only 30,000 people flew into glasgow for cop 26 two years ago. it's amazing how much more popular it is when it's warm and there's a chance of getting a tan. kind of suggests global warming might not be all bad. hopefully cop 20 is better organised than the glasgow one where they hired a fleet of electric cars to ferry the delegates around, but they didn't have enough charging points, so they had to hire diesel generators to charge the electric couldn't make electric cars. you couldn't make it up . there's a call for it up. there's a call for climate reparations as well. apparently britain owes lots of money to developing countries because of the carbon we emitted when we built the modern world in the industrial revolution, when they were still running around grass skirts. it's around in grass skirts. it's a recipe corruption . an we're recipe for corruption. an we're going to tax poor people in britain and give it to third world dictators , it's not
8:06 pm
world dictators, and it's not going reduce because going to reduce carbon because i don't if you've noticed. don't know if you've noticed. but world dictators like but third world dictators like private jets, yachts and flying beyonce and to sing at their birthday party. so instead of that money being spent on essential things for regular people in britain is going to get spent on bentleys, for dictators . there's also, if we dictators. there's also, if we have to pay reparations for the negative effects of inventing civilisation , the flip of civilisation, the flip side of thatis civilisation, the flip side of that is that we should get a dividend for the good things we did humanity, like inventing did for humanity, like inventing trains and television and antibiotics. yeah that's right. nobodyin antibiotics. yeah that's right. nobody in the third world gets any antibiotics until we get more money and the climate lobby have attached themselves to some nasty left wing ideas . greta's nasty left wing ideas. greta's latest idea to reduce carbon is apparently to exterminate jews from the river to the sea . i'll from the river to the sea. i'll never forget we are the carbon that they want to reduce , that they want to reduce, delegates will say. but the size of that footprint is absolutely dwarfed by the emission cuts that a deal can produce . so, that a deal can produce. so, yeah, but this whole conference could have been done over zoom.
8:07 pm
don't tell us to reduce carbon show us it's not about reducing carbon anyway. it's about increasing taxes and increasing power. watching these celebs cavort in luxury is like watching marie antoinette prancing at the palace of versailles instead of let them eat cake. it's let them heat pumps. net zero. listen, i give net zero f's . with me tonight , net zero f's. with me tonight, we've got the comedian and singer susie kennedy, the comedian , justin panks. great to comedian, justin panks. great to have two fellow comedians alongside me, but it can't all be laughs. so a very good evening also to louis schaffer , evening also to louis schaffer, to susie sue louis. i'm so sorry . i had no idea. i had no idea they'd written that for me to see. they didn't write that you this is your show. >> yeah, no, i know. >> all right. i'm just trying to get out of it. but, susie, do you think i'm being too harsh in these? >> i gave you a round of applause, but i want to see king charles in a one bedroom flat in peckham. >> yeah, actually, that's where
