Downpatrick Young Green Mark McCormick said, “Peter Robinson probably thought it would be a good laugh to put Sammy in as the Environment Minister just to wind up the environmentalists but I bet he is not laughing now.
The attempts by Sammy Wilson to censor an advertisement that aims to help Northern Irish households reduce their energy consumption and thus save money should not be tolerated.
What is more disgraceful was how Sammy tried to relate his decision to the decision of the Scottish parliament not to show the ad. What he failed to mention was that Scotland isn’t showing it because they are showing their own Climate Change adds! This shows how Sammy will pounce on anything, and blow it out of all proportions, in any attempt to justify his Neanderthal views.
Even after the Environment Committee at Stormont passed a vote of no confidence in him he still refuses to resign. One strange thing I noticed when this motion of no confidence passed was that David Ford, the Alliance Party leader, refused to support the motion and abstained. Shocking behaviour for one who was so quick to release a press statement condemning Sammy when this whole debacle started. Don’t do the talk if you can’t do the walk David
With all this going on I can only wonder what an average day in the office must be like for the Department of Environments Climate Change Unit under the Sammy Wilson mantra of Climate Change not existing. Not a dull moment there I am sure!”
