Coalition Missing Attic Insulation, Study Finds

Daveybloke, his little orange chum and the minister for British Nuclear Fuels have been briefed to the effect that the most cost-effective means of improving energy efficiency in the home are set to fall drastically under the Government's plans. It is possible that this may come as a surprise, although there are certain precedents: frontline services being savaged under plans intended to protect frontline services, tuition fees rising under plans intended to help students pay less, that sort of thing. Spokesbeings were hurriedly extruded to make clear that the Government's commitment to the green deal remains absolute; a commitment is, after all, a form of words like an electoral promise, and we all know how seriously Daveybloke and his little orange chum take those. It is only the implementation which is giving them difficulties; or, in Standard English, actually doing something about it. We can only thank our stars that we have Daveybloke's word about leading the greenest government ever. Without Daveybloke's word, and without the backing of the veteran truth-monger Nick Clegg, some of us might be tempted to take an uncharitable view.
