An interesting profile of Zac Goldsmith -- it highlights the contradictions of a man who is critical of globalisation, and how "supermarkets screw farmers every day," lending his support, ideas, energy, and credibility to the Tories.
Let's hope they don't let him down. For one thing, what he's trying to achieve is too important. From their point of view, he could make Cameron and co look very stupid indeed if they betray him. I don't think he'll put up with being a bauble on their (sustainable) Christmas tree for ever. Beneath the charm and the other-worldliness - 'I'm reading a book called Shogun ... is it well known?' - beats the heart of man who knows how much biofuel we could make out of the nation's leftover gravy. A windmill on a Notting Hill roof is not going to impress him for very long.
