*[Enwl-eng] Mothers vs Lloyd’s

[enwl]

            Last week, mums, dads, carers and children made an amazingly 
powerful Father’s Day appeal to Lloyd’s of London Chair, Bruce 
Carnegie-Brown, himself a father of four, calling on him to stop enabling 
dangerous fossil fuel projects.

            UK climate group Mother’s Rise Up (MRU) created a spectacular 
performance outside Lloyd’s of London (watch the whole performance below), 
using song and dance to call on Bruce to follow the example of George Banks, 
the financier father in the Mary Poppins film, whose sudden musical epiphany 
made him give up the soulless pursuit of profit and pay attention to the 
needs of his children.

            We know there is a loving father inside Bruce Carnegie-Brown who 
struggles to accept the idea of selling his kids’ future to fossil fuel 
barons.

            Bruce, stop insuring wrecking fossil projects, you’ll see it’s 
even easier than to say “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”.

            Vladimir, join the creative and passionate mothers taking on 
Lloyd’s and call on Bruce to stop fueling our planet’s destruction and 
insure all kids’ future instead!

            I’ll call on Bruce Carnegie-Brown on social media, sending him 
the video of Mothers Rise Up’s inspiring action!

            Lloyd’s is rapidly becoming an insurance marketplace of last 
resort, (re)insuring projects that many of its European counterparts refuse 
to touch because of their colossal climate impacts.

            Insurers are key players in those projects : without insurance, 
coal, oil and gas projects simply can’t go ahead, making Lloyd’s a key 
enabler of the fossil fuel industry, deeply involved in climate and 
ecological breakdown too.

            Every day, the leadership of Lloyd’s, including Bruce 
Carnegie-Brown and CEO John Neal, delay climate action and invest in fossil 
fuels, is a day spent feeding the climate crisis, ignoring the urgent needs 
of all children, the planet and humanity.

            But like the career-focused, inattentive Dad, George Banks in 
the Mary Poppins film, underneath the grey suit, there is caring and willing 
core to every member of the Lloyd’s executive team. They just need to find 
it!

            Vladimir, let’s help Bruce have his musical epiphany soon! All 
of Lloyd’s profits will never be able to buy fresh air, clean water, and 
bearable temperatures for all our children. Only climate action will!

            Let’s make sure Bruce gets this Father’s Day message!

            Vladimir, ask Bruce Carnegie-Brown to finally STOP insuring all 
new coal, oil and gas now and insure our children’s future instead!
