President Gore is about to be on TV here in Blighty

[Greeby]

Hour-long special on global warming. The voiceover referred to him as "ex-Us President" if only, if only...

1. What's Blighty? Can you give more info please? n/t

[Greeby]

2. Oops, the UK = Blighty

It's in time for Gore's appearance for the Hay festival near Wales

3. So is he in Wales now?

He has a bunch of appearances scheduled this month in the US.

8. Near Wales probably means the west of England near the

border. I don't have a map and don't know where Blighty is, but I've been through the area of England/Wales...This is excellent!

6. REALLY?

This is wonderful! Thanks for letting everyone know! :toast:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

4. Funny about the mistake about ex-Pres. Katie Couric of a morning show here

in the states, in a preview of his coming up for an interview, called him ex-Pres..oops ex-Vice President!

5. They had a debate at the end....

The director of Friends of the Earth, a professor at the Imperial College, London. And a female journalist, I think from the Guardian, who was totally trying to diminish Gore's impact, implying that he won't have much of a real impact in the US. And then the final putdown, that he shouldn't run in 2008 (hey lady, he won the first time, why not?) x(

On a side note, I don't see the same hope that Gore sees, more just despair personally

7. One can't exactly blame the professor, given the current

political climate...

But it's still great to hear what's happening with Gore across the pond. Out own media won't let us know much about it.
