Rossinisbird and 'Desperate' Dan Glass getting to know each other at the Greens Superhero Covention
It seems South Tyneside’s very own closet eco warrior and eighties throw back, Brian ‘whacky green’ Padgett may have at last found himslef a real life climate change superhero with balls.
Rossinisbird, as he is known locally, often spouts weird green shit via his blog which The Monkey reckons is about as stimulating as David Potts after a night in Roxanne’s. For bloggers who have no idea who David Potts is, imagine a dildo without batteries!
Apparently Rossinisbird’s new superhero is a weirdo called Dan Glass, of the climate change pressure group Planet Stupid, I suppose this says it all really.
In an act of supreme bravery stupidity ‘Desperate’ Dan Glass tried to superglue himself to the Prime Minister at a Downing Street reception. As Mr Glass, 24, was introduced to Gordon Brown, he laid a glue-covered hand on his sleeve and then took the opportunity to urge Mr Brown to change his mind on the Heathrow airport expansion.
Mr Glass told the assembled guests: “Do not worry – this is a non-violent protest. We cannot shake away climate change like you can just shake away my arm.”
Mr Glass, who had smuggled pouches of glue into the event in his underwear, added later that Mr Brown laughed off the protest. “He was just grinning about it,” he said. “He didn’t seem to take me seriously.” I wonder why?
Mr Glass, an invited guest, was allowed to stay at the reception for 40 minutes after the stunt. When he left, he tried to glue himself to the gates of Downing Street – but had his hand detached by a police officer.
‘I didn’t have much glue left by that point,’ he said.
The moral of this tale is never shake the hand of a green unless you’ve first checked their underwear!
