Disgusting BBC Reporter Put In His Place By Guyana Leader

Quite why the odious Sackur thinks he has the right to lecture a foreign leader is beyond me:

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
Guyana leader, Paul. 😀
(Auto-‘correct’ typo??)
Brilliant response from the President. I doubt Sackur will be holidaying in Guyana.
On reflection this is worthy of a major complaint to the BBC. How dare a BBC hack talk to the democratically elected President of a foreign country in such a manner . Sackur does NOT represent the UK but his hypocritical and hectoring style inevitably casts the UK in a poor light to Gyanans and jeopardises the UK’s trading.
perhaps Gina Miller was unavailable.
Sackur does NOT represent the UK
Wanna bet?
Sackur, along with many at the BBC, is a fifth column communist who wishes to wreck the West by destroying our access to cheap, abundant and reliable energy, including, in this case, hydrocarbon energy from Guyana. So hypocrisy doesn’t even cross their minds.
On GB News someone said this is just adversarial for the sake of balance. What a hoot, how much balance is there when they interview a “green”?
The racist far-left BBC is a disgustingly filthy entity and has been for decades.
John, stop sitting on the fence & say what you really mean !! (:-))
Ps; I totaly agree with you.
John those are my thoughts exactly. I am considering how to word my complaint/attack to the BBC.
Would this little sh!tbag Sackur have dared to insult Emanuel Macron, Joe Biden, Olaf Scholz etc in this manner? Obviously not and if he had, he would have been sacked.
However, he feels hypocritically empowered by his imaginary righteous cause/religion to talk down to President Ali because in Sackur’s racist colonial mind this is some jumped up Nig Nog, banana republic, tin pot he can beat up without penalty. Truly disgusting.
The BBC should immediately apologise and dismiss Sackur immediately …without compensation.
Do you think it is because he is…not white?
Unfortunately they were both discussing the fairies. ie. Something which does not exist. But Mr Sachur’s manner is offensive.

The clip did indeed need a third voice: “Where is the proof that humans are responsible for dangerous climate change ? “
There is the depressing possibility that the Guyanese president appeared to have some belief in CAGW in order to have a “seat at the table” i.e. open declaration of non-belief = banished or “cancelled” by the medjia and others.
Mmm but the President seems to buy into the tropes that the industrial revolution has caused net damage globally and that temperatures are rising damagingly.

That much was obvious, but it doesn’t detract from the moment. He’s not going to deny his country the cheap energy that fuelled our industrial revolution and subsequent riches.
I wonder what type of abode the President would be living in if it wasn’t for the industrial revolution?
It is worth watching the whole interview, it show how useless our MPs of all colours are.

Thanks for that David,
why cant we have Politicians of that caliber
Just watched it. Wow! Sackur is an arrogant little hypocrite. The President should have asked him if the West were prepared to support Guyana when all their foreign exchange is removed by stopping drilling for oil and gas. Also, considering the West took over a hundred and fifty years to come to the conclusion that oil and gas development could (haha) be the cause of AGW, perhaps if would be fair to give Guyana the same time-frame before deciding what to do with their emissions.
At the end of the day, it should be pointed out to Sackur that he would not have dared been so rude to a Western President. BBC should let him return to his Greenpeace mates.
How did Sackhur get to Georgetown? I’d guess he changed planes at Babados, probably with a stopover.
Oh he would have been just the same if that PM or president was right wing and thought to be reneging on the net zero bollocks
hmmm…just typed a decent comment with no swearing (difficult) and it failed to get posted. That’s a first…
Basically said that Shackur should be sent on his way….
Ooops!
Here is the story your Stephen Sackur should have been curious about:
In a vote (dubious), Venezuelans have approved a referendum called by the government of President Nicolás Maduro to claim sovereignty over an oil- and mineral-rich piece of neighbouring Guyana.
This is a real issue, unlike the “existential ClimateCrisis™ “.
Some interesting observations about Viking Link.

The Danes are making the lion’s share of the money, along with National Grid.
idau
for a while, a while back, I was looking around at Western Link from Hunterston to The Wirral which had a raft of operational / commissioning problems and got the distinct impression that it wasn’t working. It was supposed to be “being investigated”….
It was touted by some as *the* remedy to high constraint payments to Scottish wind … I read that they had to dial down the throughput volts….
Seemed to me like there was a PR fatwah on talking about it… people you’d expect to be praising it to the heavens were stubbornly reticent.

Very worrying how the fireman put it out – no protective breathing apparatus and no apparent cordoning off the immediate area.
Perhaps this brigade should be consulting this lot.
Beilliant, we need a few more like him, who are not in the pockets of the net zero zealots.
The BBC reporter just oozed smug, arrogance. It was so good to see him put in his place.
Sakhur is deeply ignorant and arrogant man. Fuol of his falsifiable opinions on matters he has NO understanding of, only his employer’s ideology.
Mr Guyana could have pointed that the presumption more CO2 was bad for life in Earth was wholly and measurably false.
More CO takes us a bit further away from extinction, has significatly raised global agricultural ouput and de desertification through better photsyntesis, and the small part of the overall waming we have experienced so mostly natural in fact, has raised us from 1.5 deg above the coldest in 8,000 years to 2 deg below Egyptian temperatures, which has no effect on extreme events, and reduces deaths from extreme temperatures. All easilly checked from the records.
CO2 increase has no costs, and is measurably beneficial. Sakhur a rude, ignorant and presumptive fool, who lies for the BBC.
CEng, CPhys, MBA
The be-all and end-all of white privilege, Sakhur’s body-language says it all even before the words tumble helpter-skelter from his mouth.
Sackur is usually to be found doing “Hard Talk” interviews on BBC News 24. Seems like (for once!) it’s not him doing the hard talk…
Sackur’s nativity and arrogance is profound!
BBC represents UK worldwide. It is a household name.
Sackur is a dweeb, but he is the voice of BBC, hence, the voice of Britain.
Sackur does NOT represent the UK
You need to comprehend that he does, as the face and voice of BBC. It is the BBC haranguing the president, in the guise of Sackur. The video shows British colonialism and bigotry. Nobody in the rest of the world is going to see this and think about Sackur, they are going to think, “BBC.”
Just the very best, putting the pompous ass in his place. Well done Sir.
First Guyana gets carbon credits for preserving their forest, then sells them on to the oil company producing the oil from their territorial waters. So a nice little earner. Having supposedly balanced the ‘carbon’ books, and still remaining ‘green’, no wonder the president was so annoyed at the questions posed.
Seems like they are doing very well out of the deal, and supposedly remain carbon neutral.
I found the worst hypocrisy from the questioner was the stating of how many billions of tons of carbon were going to be produced. Surely this must fall on the balance sheets of those that consume it, mainly in Europe.
One other detail also worth a mention, the development of population in Guyana. From a near doubling of the population from 1960 to 1980, the population has since stabilised. Without this, the forest would be under much more pressure, and the destruction much more. Regarding the forest, apparently many offers have been made from foreign companies to buy up for logging, but the government and locals have refused them as it is so important to their livelihood. If the BBC reporter would have recognised this superb example of preserving forest, then as a green he would have been doing his job far better. BBC and its reporter – shame on you!

Let’s not forget that Venezuela is very popular amongst those who work for the BBC, and Guyana is currently Venezuela’s enemy. I suspect the BBC reporter had that in mind.
How many million Venezuelans have voted with their feet to escape “Bolivarian socialism”?
I’ll not forget the Maracaibo oil refinery that’d been fitted with wind turbines!

Poverty is relieved and eradicated by access to cheap energy. And we have protestors wanting to stop this happening in Africa. Johannesburg has enough water for a city 20X its size but has water rationing. You need energy to deliver it. When you’re destitute and hungry charcoal is often all you have to sell or use.
Thanks for highlighting the NZW reports, I went to the launch in House of Lords and urged those there to repeal the Climate Change Act.
It’s just naked disgusting neo-colonialism with a dash of eugenics. You poor dusky people aren’t allowed to use your natural resources but you are allowed to sell them to us (coal from Botswana to Germany for instance).
I was there too. Interestingly my daughter was investigating the sourcing of charcoal (available in any large supermarket near you with the obligatory ‘sustainable’ sticker). She is agnostic on climate change and didn’t pursue her findings because the science was ‘sketchy’. It involved analysing it to see if it was indeed lumpwood made from invasive bush and not deforestation or valuable hardwoods. The scientist from Belgium (even beyond Kew’s abilities) was unable to categorically state what the wood was. *She probably still has the report.
What did surprise her was that supermarket charcoal was inferior. The best restaurants don’t use it because when transported to the UK it becomes a fire hazard on ships so is coated with a fire retardant. This affects the taste.
And that’s without discussing the deaths caused by smoke inhalation when cooking with charcoal in Africa. The hypocrisy is mind-blowing.
We need a sign to identify ourselves as fellow devotees! A useful statistic is that the average output from a day’s physical labour (not allowing for malnourishment) is about 1kWh. We complain about having to pay 25p for a kWh of convenient electricity but deny that necessity to others to ‘save the planet’. The true motives aren’t too hard to see.
Charcoal used to be made round here to turn into gunpowder. There are allotments on the site of the gunpowder works now, the view from my study. Moved out of town after one too many explosions. Chart Mills site is further up the stream that powered the mills of the Home Works. We like to think it made Guy Fawkes’s gunpowder.

I barbeque in stages. In the first, I use any old charcoal to cook the sausages. Then, in the second stage, I cook the chicken using the sausages I have already ruined for fuel. When torrential rain extinguishes the fire I know it is time to eat.
Right on!
