Tony Blair not allowed to go Green

After all the government speak lately about going green and hitting carbon targets it turns out that Tony Blair himself is having problems going green.

It turns out he was planning on installing solar panels on his house in London, but they have been turned down after complaints from neighbours were made when he applied for planning permission.

How does the government expect people to move over to renewable energy sources when the prime minister can't even get planning permission to put solar cells on his own house? Just in case you thought it might have been a Conservative supporter that made the complaint it turns out the David Cameron also recently had planning problems when trying to add a wind turbine to his house.

It looks like for every person out there wanting to be green there a few who would rather they didn't.
