I dont think we should have to choose between foreign subjects and domestic subjects. If you look at your programs, theres an amazing range of panels. I want you cant. So many issues we can cover, should cover. Have the expertise within our community to cover. I just dont buy this false choice that so many in our communities, in the uk, in europe and north america which is, weve got to have this debate about gaza and nothing else or about iraq and nothing else.

We may not anticipate that we will. But to put that aside and say were not going to doesnt strike me as wise. The commanderinchief has that policy, but he can change his mind as conditions warrant.

What i start with is that you really got look at the science. And the science is pretty astounding. And the science is one that you really have tomorrow brace it. And then after the science, i would invite them to travel with me. To places that have been impacted. So i would invite them to visit for example, where i visited just a while ago. Then i put it in the same way that David Cameron has put it. What he said is, is look, the science is pretty convincing to me. But even if you dont think that this is real, and you think that chances of the terrible events that we predict are not real, even if you think this is 10 chance that this is real, wouldnt you buy i
