Which is worse having a vegan as shadow minister for the Environment (which includes farming) or having an ex-oilman as an adviser for energy and the environment?

Reminds me of that book/game- Would you rather?-be chased by a bear or trapped in a burning house?

I would go for chased by a bear.

Both are odd[both vegan and oilman]. He also elected pro trident people to defence when he is, or was against pro trident.

He gets me confused.

Is the bear a vegan? If so, that would be preferable grin

Isn't the Archbishop of Canterbury also an ex oilman, and a member of the House of Lords?
A lot of ex oilmen about.
