G20 meeting in Rome this weekend

No Kali it was a comment (not guilty) about the bump being disguised (by clothing or camera angles). Plus Bozzer looking overweight and barmy. Just the way the thread evolved.

I saw Biden sleeping too.

I've just searched and found this! Priceless with his private planes and 80+ cars.
Perhaps it was hot in the room.

Well Biden is a lot older, and has been travelling all ovr the place ... and he is not the host either. At least he is wearing a mask!

Poor old chap - he must be knackered.

Italy was the host country this time. Rome to be exact.

He’s too old for the job really.

Ooops wrong quote.

No it was the right quote.

I’m tired myself, I need to go to sleep ?

Johnson fell asleep, too. Just seen the picture on twitter

I think Johnson’s issue is over imbibing.

Does anybody have any comments on the outcomes of G20?

Nope. Do you? You could enlighten us.

Why doesn't that response surprise me?

I don't think anyone can predict the outcomes of either of these meetings. The official aim for G20 included all kinds of areas, manufacturing and GNP seemed to be among them, with climate not at the forefront. If there is a clash of priorities, I suspect climate will go to the back of the queue.

The climate summit itself will have as much success as those pushing hard for Global change can manage to get established - and monitored for years, too. Let's hope they don't run out of energy, enthusiasm and above all, TIME.

There was agreement that multicultural companies should pay a minimum of 15% tax, which seems to be a step in the right direction.

? Multicultural companies?

Ooops! I meant multinational.

I haven't woken up yet - that's my excuse anyway.

We can but hope for realistic outcomes, but I’m not holding my breath.

Biden’s many, many cars tell us all we need to know about the USA’s attitude towards change. Plus I believe that lots of private jets were used to fly to Glasgow. I’ve no idea how many but I heard it on Sky News this morning. Maybe somebody can provide the figure.

I keep hearing planes leaving and arriving at Turnhouse late at night. Don't know whether they are private jets or chartered ones. I have no intention of geting out of bed to find out.

Oh wow. I've just found this.

^"Flying over the city of Glasgow at the moment is a Vulcanair P.68R, been doing laps since 16:00.

Guess they will be flying all night in shifts, at 3500ft they might well keep some people awake."

That photo of Johnson is embarrassing. Almost the only person in view not wearing a mask, falling asleep and sitting right next to 95-year-old National Treasure Sir David Attenborough who manages to both wear a mask and stay awake. I knew he would embarrass himself and the country at this event, but right on day 1!
