Ethical Investment

A wealth creator has been sentenced to seven years' imprisonment for selling fake bomb detectors, which may have caused some collateral damage among the lesser races. The gentleman went into business in 1997, the year in which the Reverend Blair's earthly ministry ascended unto Downing Street; and in 2001 a Home Office scientist tested his merchandise and found that the same results could have been achieved with an empty box or Iain Duncan Smith. The scientist issued a written warning; so the British Government started selling the devices to foreign governments. Presumably, since they cost less than two pounds to manufacture and sold for fifteen thousand, the moral imperative was irresistible. At the time of his arrest, the manufacturer admitted that he had "no background in science, research, training or specifically security", qualifications which could not help but impress the present faith-based culture at Whitehall. Despite his own little indiscretions over Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass ethereality, the Reverend Blair himself remains at large.
