Green adviser's 500-mile commute

In the "Don't do as I do, do as I say" file from the Government's environmental policy we find this story at the BBC's website.

As a former member of the sustainability commission, Richard Wakeford said the explosion in low-cost air travel was "unsustainable".

and so we find that the

senior civil servant and former environmental adviser to Tony Blair commutes weekly by plane from his home in Gloucestershire to Edinburgh.

Now before you take umbrage, you have to remember that it's one rule for us, but a different rule for them.
