Geoffry Lean won’t have read the report. Geoffrey Lean’s preferred style of “journalism” is to cut & paste selected passages from press handouts with a vaguely green agenda. For some totally unaccountable reasons, he’s won awards for this. But then, so has Polly Twatbee.

Incidentally, when he does trouble himself to actually string a few words together himself…
His “Move on, move on. Nothing to see here” on the recent Greenpeace embarrassments’ a masterpiece.
The byline “Geoffrey Lean” should warn the reader not to continue further. He is a partial, agendadriven, cut-and-paste artist who should not be dignified with the description “journalist”.

He’s a really poor journalist. Is he related to someone senior at the Tel?

dearieme, I’ve wondered myself what the possible raison d’etre for Geoffrey Lean’s column in the Hellograph is. A geriatric Swampy (and piss-poor journalist to boot) is not exactly a good fit for the DT’s core readership, is it?

I’ve a suspicion it may be purely click-bait. Rather like Mary Riddell & possibly Dan Hodges.
If you look at the comments under the articles, they do provoke a high level of responses. Generally unfavourable, agreed. But is that necessarily a bad thing for the Telegraph. A page load’s a page load, to an advertiser.

Excellent news for today’s hungry peoples, but maybe some Westerners will find it harder to earn the dosh for a Super Skinny Latte.
A pity the ASI site no longer allows comments. Sometimes the comments were more interesting than the article.

It *should* allow comments. Let me work out why it isn’t.

Actually, looking at it, it does allow comments.

Well, if I go into ASI and the blog I do see the article but no comments nor any clue as to how I might see comments. But if I click on the blog’s title then the comments magically appear. Sorry to be slow witted. This is the case from Chrome and from Safari.
